Not much pairs better than beer and chili, so Saturday’s Schenectady County Chili Chowdown & Craft Beer Trail promises to be well attended.

From 3 to 8 p.m., visitors will be able to sample chilis from various restaurants in Schenectady at $1 cup, and local craft beers for $1 per three-ounce cup.

This is a decentralized event, with visitors starting at a participating restaurant where they will be able to pick up a map to use for strolling to other participating venues.

Nine of the 12 restaurants have partnered with specific local brewers; three will have chili only. The chart shows who is doing what.
