HOBOKEN — Beer brewers and chili makers will face off later this month to see whose got the best recipes.

The fifth annual Hoboken Volunteers Chili Cook-Off and Homebrewing Contest will be held Feb. 23, according to the organization's website. Attendees can sample competitors' homemade beer and chili, while a panel of judges determines whose recipes top the list. Last year, the organization also incorporated a vegetarian chili category — so non-carnivores can also join the festivities.

This year's judges are Jennifer Casson of Hoboken Girl, Chef Justin Antiorio and Peter Genovese of The Star-Ledger.

The event will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. on February 23 at the Elks Lodge (1005 Washington Street, Hoboken). For ticket information, visit the organization's website. Ticket prices increase Feb. 15.
