Hey AHA Peeps!
More HBC information was just released on the website! Call for speakers, a preliminary schedule, the BJCP running about 1500 exams during the event, etc.
But one thing we don’t have is your photos of the previous cons - whether it be HBC or NHC. So.. how about throwing your favorites up here!
Uhhh, 1500 exams??! Who gets to grade those, Drew? Lol.
If you look at the schedule I believe that they have 4 different exam windows, so all I can say is I’m glad it’s not me!
Here’s a couple of Club night videos to get the creative juices flowing for club night in Asheville this June! Unfortunately they exceeded the maximum file size for hosting here so I put them on Google Drive.
The back of my shirt, signed by Denny, has a Denny Conn quote, “The secret is don’t grow up”.
Here is a photo from the 2000 National Homebrewers Conference in Livonia, Mi. Paul Gatza (then Director of the AHA, behind - left of Charlie) spent a night at our home in Michigan, doing pre-conference reconnoitering. Paul inadvertently left a pair of colorful boxing shorts in our guest bedroom.
My club (The Fermental Order of Renaissance Draughtsman - FORD) came to the event as The Purple Gang (vicious prohibition gang from Detroit). I warned Paul that if we didn’t have fun, he was going to be sleeping with the fishes ;-).
We had just north of 300 attendees that year and we had a blast! One nice thing about smaller conferences is that they do feel much more intimate and there is a lot less FOMO. My two cents.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing!
Are these from Providence in 2019?
I believe they are Jen!
Cool! I thought I recognized the room and a few of the folks in the pics.
@drew does this forum allow us to tag locations and people in the pictures?
Not as far as I’m aware, no
Portland 2018. For my photo.
