Will YOUR brew be served next week?

My IPA will be at the WAHA booth in the hospitality suite Thrusday night. (Hoppiness is an IPA, from BCS)  It turned about a little sweet for an IPA.  But, still a pretty good beer.

Just curious if any of you will have your beer served.  It would be fun to be sure to try the beer of some of the forums regulars.

None of mine this year, but I’ll be sure to stop by and try yours, Mic!

I’ll have a couple of things on in the hospitality suite, 4:30-7 on Thursday.

I hope it’s worthy.

Anyway, I’ll introduce myself at your “pragmatic” discussion…

Yup, as soon as I’m done with all the packaging I’ll be bringing somewhere around 24 kegs of beer to the conference. ~12 of those are for my talk, but still, at least 12 on the 3 pouring opportunities for the Falcons. (Opening Hospitality shift with QUAFF, Closing Hospitality shift with QUAFF and Club Night)

It would be easier for a fat man to pass through the eye of a needle than to get out of the NHC without trying some of my beer.

A local homebrew shop has organized to send a pallett of kegs from members of several clubs around the state and these will be at the hospitality suite and at clubnight as the “Michigan Coalition of Homebrewers”.

We have a CAP that is going out.  That one placed second in the First Round, and the other corny of the CAP was pouring a yummy beer last night.  See you there.

Hi Mic,

I don’t know if Hop Barley & the Alers have a Hospitality Suite shift, but my Orange ale will be on tap at the club booth during Club Night.

I’ll definitely try some of the WAHA beers; some of those WAHA-ers are my best homebrewer conference friends!

Cheers,
    Janis

I’ll be serving my Daughter’s Wedding Mead on Friday in Ken Schram’s talk.

I’m looking forward to meeting you.  Don’t expect too much at the talk…we won’t be re-inventing the wheel!

I’ll be bringing 4 including 2 that are in the second round, a Northern English Brown and a Belgium Dark Strong. We will be at Club Night and will be serving at the hospitality bar poolside right after Club Night.

Well, now that I know you’re be serving some of your beer, I’ll only “expect” one thing…  Look for me (and my SO) in the front row.

Hope folks stop by the Midnight Homebrewers’ League booth at Club Night.  We shipped six kegs from Maryland two days ago:

Bourbon Barrel Biere de Garde
Bourbon Barrel Belgian Dark Strong
American Golden Ale
Vanilla Porter
Biere de Garde
Baltic Porter

We’ll also be serving home-made Maryland Crab Soup.

No club night or hospitality shift, but I hope to bring my new traveling keg cooler that fits 2 cornies.  Possible kegs include Cream Ale, American Lager, English IPA, American IPA, Imperial IPA, Wee Heavy, American Barleywine, Doppelbock, “double” RIS (a novice judge recommended watering it down), and bourbon barrel-aged RIS.  And some bottles of Berliner Weisse.  Hmm, did I miss anything?

I was too cheap to ship a keg down. But come check out the CHUG booth. I’ll be around there with my SD buddies.

Jeff mentioned that the Michigan coalition will serve his CAP - fantastic beer indeed! We also will be serving a ccider made by Jeff Carlson, who has won the national award for cider making 4-5 times, Ken Schramm’s Cherry mead (he wrote a book on the subject and will be presenting), and many other solid beers at club night. Huge shout out to our local homebrew supply store owner, Jason Smith, of Adventures in Homebrewing for organizing and heavily subsidizing the cost to ship a dozen or so kegs from Michigan to San Diego!

In our club’s comp. The CAP did not do as well, it might be getting a little old.

We will see next week.

Jeff - after three days in a truck crossing the country att scorching heat, I am crossing my fingers that they do not get badly affected by the ride. The proof will be in the pudding during our Hospitality shift next Thursday!

Did you ship a pallet of kegs? I’d think that if you packed the more robust beers on the outside and most delicate in the middle and got them all on the truck cold, those kegs in the middle stand a chance of not getting as hot as early.

About 15 kegs were put on a pallett, wrapped and shipped. 
Kegs were still cool, but Jason said that the truck was hot.

Time will tell.

Thanks to everyone who brought and served their beers down in SD last week.  Club night was a blast, and the hospitality suite was always serving good beer.
