Chili

TOPPINGS FOR CHILI
Load your chili bar with as many possible toppings as possible. Make sure to include lots of fresh veggies like:
-diced jalapeno peppers
-diced red of white onion
-avocado
-cilantro
-lime wedges
-diced green onions
Don’t forget to include lots of crunchy options like:
-crackers
-tortilla chips
-pretzels
-crunchy chick peas
And of course, must-have classics like:

-sour cream
WHAT KIND OF BEER TO ADD TO CHILI
Now that we’re talking the good stuff, I’m happy to tell you that you can add just about any beer you want. The important thing to consider is to make sure you add a flavorful beer. A mild tasting beer will get lost in the chili flavors.
You can go as strongly as Guinness Stout or a similar deep dark beer. If stout is not your thing, try an amber ale.
