Chili and beer enthusiasts are in for a flavor-packed showdown as the popular Beer & Chili Festival returns to Grand Sierra Resort and Casino (GSR) on Saturday, Oct. 21. The event, offering early entry at 12 p.m. and general admission at 1 p.m., continues until 6 p.m., when the coveted “People’s Choice” chili and beer champions will be crowned. With over two dozen craft beer selections from local, regional, and national breweries, along with mouthwatering chili samples and menu specialties from local restaurants, attendees will have the power to cast their votes. The top restaurant and brewery will each secure the “People’s Choice” title, a $1,000 charity donation, a trophy, and ultimate bragging rights.
Live music, featuring bands like Steel Breeze, Reckless Envy, and The Spazmatics, along with DJ Rekoh Suave spinning hits, will keep the entertainment going throughout the day.
Various ticket packages, including early bird specials, are available until Oct. 7, with proceeds benefiting the Reno Rodeo Foundation. Prices will increase after that date, so secure your spot for a sizzling day of beer, chili, and music.
