Well That's Cool

Only the best clip art for us

Every year around this time, we here at the well that’s cool headquarters get the hankering for the savory bean, meat and spice concoction known as chili. So how do we fulfill the gastronomic self flagellation of ingesting as many batches of chili as we can while drinking beer? The “11th Annual Asses of Fire Chili Cookoff” at Egans of course. So if you got some mad chili skills and want to show them off to Tuscaloosa, come to Egans on Saturday Feb. 25th. Registration is from 2:00pm to 3:45pm with judging by panel starting at 4:15pm. You’ll need to bring a crock pot, your own ladle and even better it’s free to enter. We will award the top two chilis with cash prizes with third place taking home a case of beer. It gets even better. If you take the time to make a chili, you shall be rewarded $1.50 Bud and Bud Lights and $2.50 full pints of any of Egans drafts. If you wish to partake in the adventure but don’t want to make a chili,  you may dine on the smorgasboard of chilis for a mere $3.  Is there a better way to spend a non-football Saturday in Tuscaloosa than hanging out with cool people, drinking beer and eating chili? We dare say no. Hope to see you there! For more info email us at wellthatscool(at)gmail

Tall grass Brewing owner Jeff Gill will be dropping by Egans this afternoon and early evening to unveil their “Velvet Roster” Belgian Tripel. They describe the beer as

Smooth and carefully crafted like a fine velvet painting, but with an 8.5% ABV this bird has some spurs! The beer pours a golden straw color with brilliant clarity. Topped with a lofty pure white head the beer has a wonderful floral nose, with subtle fruit notes.

The taste is clean and crisp, with subtle fruit notes and a touch of candy like sweetness. The beer has a Champagne-like effervescent that provides a crisp offset to its sweet finish.  While a pint glass is always nice, Velvet Rooster would also be at home in a tulip glass or Champagne flute.

Tallgrass is brewed in Manhattan, KS and you might have seen a few of their beers around town. We are kinda partial to their Buffalo Sweat stout.  To make this Egans will be featuring $2.50 pints and tall boy cans of all Tallgrass products. Sounds like a hoot to us!
