9th Annual Pour War
The BIA's Sales & Marketing Council raises funds for a charitable organization by pitting ten of our industry professionals against each other making drinks behind the bar. The bartender with the most tips is the Pour War Champion and all proceeds go to the charity of the night!
The charity of the night is Screaming Eagles Special Needs Athletics - a local group working with schools and colleges to provide the special needs community with unique athletic experiences. Learn more here.
