The best place to start packing on those winter pounds is at a chili and beer festival. 

Fall Festival of Beers and Chili Cook Off – Mt. Crested Butte – $20

The best place to start packing on those winter pounds is at a chili and beer festival. Drink beer from 20 craft brewers and gorge yourself on chili of all sorts. You get to judge the best in the categories of: International Chili Society red chili, anything goes, green chili, vegetarian chili, best professional entry, people’s choice, and best table decorations. You’ll wanna get a room up there though, after judging all that chili, you’ll have to sleep for a few days.
