Battle of the Bartenders at Veza Sur
It’s officially mango season in Miami, and Veza Sur is celebrating by hosting “Battle of the Bartenders,” its Mangolandia-themed bartender showdown. During the event, some of Miami’s favorite bartenders will battle it out to see who can make the tastiest Mangolandia-infused beer cocktail. They'll be competing for a chance to win a $500 cash prize, and have their cocktail featured at the brewery for one month, and patrons who are there for the show get to decide the winner. Hosted by Gio Gutierrez, otherwise known as @
ChatChowTV, Battle of the Bartenders will give the floor to six local mixologists as they put their skills to the test by creating a custom beer cocktail.
