What the night is

Ten dollars gets you a spoon, a bowl and a ballot. Fifteen gets you a burner on the patio and the chance to hold the trophy for a year. Pots go on at one and voting closes at half past five.

Every dollar taken at the tasting table goes to the Colorado Anti-Violence Program. We announce the total from the patio steps before the trophy is handed over, and we have never once managed to do it without somebody crying.

Vegetarian pots have their own category, mostly because the year they did not, the argument lasted until closing.

RSVP

Not required, and it does not reserve a table. It just tells the door team roughly how many to expect, which makes the whole night run better.

Accessibility needs, a birthday, a first visit. Optional.

21+ with valid ID. We never pass your details on.
