Final competitor count to be announced later. Typically between 10-15.
What are my transport/parking options getting to the event? Free street parking is available. We encourage drinking responsibly, so bring a designated driver, call that cab or arrange an Uber/Lyft! We also offer DD/N/A tickets for both VIP & Admin, and will have N/A bloodys at all the competitors for your DD!
Does my ticket include beer chasers? No, but there will be beer for sale at the event if you want any. We often have one or two breweries that participate and hand out free beer samples with their bloody.
Does my ticket include seating? Seating is not guaranteed. There will be a limited number of first come, first served tables and seating. There is so much to try that people end up standing/walking for most of the time. There is also a lot of seating indoors in the Tasting Room available.
Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event? All attendees and volunteers must bring a proper ID and be at least 21 years of age.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? You must bring your printed ticket or show your ticket on your phone to enter.

What can I drink with a Designated Driver / Non-alcoholic ticket? Every participating bar will have non-alcoholic versions of their Bloody marys you can drink. You will get the exact same experience just without alcohol!
