Circle K’s liquor selection is convenient for most, but vital for these competitors.
Downtown Tucson’s The Dusty Monk is hosting the 2019 “Circle K Challenge” from 5 – 9 p.m. on Monday, September 16.
The competition is exclusive for United States Bartenders’ Guild members only, but everyone’s invited to watch the showdown after each of the competitors have gathered their “poison” from Circle K.
Here’s how it’ll pan out:
- Each competitor will get 10 minutes and $10 to shop for all their ingredients
- Everyone will then meet back up at The Dusty Monk
- The competitors will then make the “best worst drink” of them all
If you’d like to compete — and are a member of the USBG — you’ll want to register beforehand. Those who’d like to watch the competition go down will need to reserve your spot, too.
The Dusty Monk is located at 201 N .Court Ave. For more information, visit The Dusty Monk’s Facebook event page.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
