A chili cook-off Saturday afternoon at a Tuscaloosa brewery will raise money for a local food bank and may be just what the doctor ordered ahead of an overnight cold snap that will see temperatures near freezing on Sunday.
The 2026 Druid City Brewing Chili Cook-Off will be held tomorrow from 2 to 5 p.m and costs $20 to enter as a competitor or a $10 cover fee for those who just want to taste the bounty of recipes available.
Interested entrants can still message Tyler at druidcitychili@gmail.com to sign up!
Judges will rank entrants and name winners for the best overall chili, the people’s choice and the best nontraditional recipe.
A portion of this year’s proceeds will benefit the Table of Grace Food Pantry at Grace Presbyterian Church on Hargrove Road.
After the three-hour cookoff ends at 5 p.m., a night of live music will follow with local rockers Haysop and Jacob Kynard playing a show that starts at 7.
