A bloody mary tasting event and competition is back for its second year. Madison\u2019s Best Bloody<\/a> is a charitable fundraiser for the Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation<\/a>, a non-profit whose mission is to educate, support and advocate for the bleeding disorders community of Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

At the event, which will be held at The Edgewater<\/a> on Sunday, April 28, you\u2019ll get unlimited samples of bloody marys from participating local bars. They all bring their A-games with homemade tomato mixes, table decorations and fun garnishes. Last year, there were chunks of bratwurst, spicy cheese bread, beef sticks, plenty of pickles, and of course tons of cheese.<\/p>\n

State Street Brats is back to defend their championship. Old reliables like Nitty Gritty and Cafe Hollander \u2014 each of which have very good bloodies \u2014 will also return. Newcomers this year include Tangent and Fuegos, with more to still be announced. If you enjoy a bar\u2019s bloodies, be sure to patronize them afterward. They\u2019re donating their time and money to help put on this charitable event.<\/p>\n

Besides all the bloodies you can drink, a ticket gets you beer chaser tokens to redeem at the bar whenever you like. And because that\u2019s a lot of alcohol, there\u2019s also a substantial appetizer buffet. Expect items like chicken sliders, soft pretzels and cheese dip, and hummus with fixin\u2019s. There\u2019s ice water stations too, because hydration is important, people.<\/p>\n

Raffles and other fundraising games will be held. The grand prize is the Buttload-o-Beer<\/a>, which appears to contain at least eight cases of various alcoholic goodness.<\/p>\n

Having attended last year\u2019s event<\/a>, I\u2019ve got some tips for optimal bloody consumption. Hit up the bar with the best garnishes early<\/strong>. The longer you wait, the more likely there is to be a line. Make sure to use the little slips of paper<\/strong> with the bar\u2019s name on it to keep track of what you\u2019re drinking. (Muffin tins for easier carrying will be available to buy, or bring your own.) Once you\u2019ve tried them all, don\u2019t forget to vote for your favorite<\/strong> by dropping your token in their jar.<\/p>\n

General admission tickets<\/a> to Madison\u2019s Best Bloody are $40. Tickets to the VIP section are $65 and include entrance to the event one hour early, a reserved seat in the VIP lounge and additional buffet. Anyone who isn\u2019t drinking or is saintly enough to volunteer as the designated driver can drink all the non-alcoholic bloodies they want and partake in the buffet for $15. The event starts at 11:30 a.m. (10:30 for VIP ticket holders) and ends at 3 p.m. You must be 21 or older to attend.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hope the weather is as beautiful as it was last year, because the Edgewater\u2019s patio on the lake is fantastic for soaking up spring sun. I\u2019ll be there trying not to spill bloodies on my Bozho t-shirt, so say hi if you see me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
