Just mentioned this to a friend who is a builder but is camping in the grounds. He started getting excited as I was telling him about this event and asked if he can attend. Willing to bring our best local brew! Not an RV guy but what do you think?
Wow, I never thought this event would get this many willing participants! I severely underestimated how many beer connoisseurs are out there in VAF!
The following list should cover all the details of the event.
- Location - We will set up in the West end of HBC.
- Jerry Fischer is going to provide us with some large buckets for everyone to chill their beer in. I am aiming to have these buckets set up by 3PM. If you bring bottles, please bring a plastic grocery bag to keep your bottles together as they chill off.
- Volunteers - This event is getting too big for me to handle alone. I could really use some people who can help get ice and get things setup. In exchange for this favor, you will get priority tastings of the good stuff! PM or email me (mike at rvplane dot com) if you are willing to assist. Thanks!
- Start Time - 5pm!
- Cups - I am bringing 100 Solo Cups, which should be enough for everyone. If someone wants to pick up another 50-60, I'd really appreciate it!
- Ice - Please bring ice if you can. My biggest concern not enough ice leading to WARM BEER! I will try to buy as much ice as possible, but I know it has run out in the past.
- How the tasting will work - Starting at 5pm, I am looking for 5-6 people who think they brought the best beers from around the world. Make a quick speech to why you think it's the best (let the trash talk start!), and then all attendees get a sample of the beer they want. Whatever beers out of the current samples don't get drank go into a community bucket for the end.
After the first round, the volunteers will grab 5-6 random 6-pack from the ice buckets in 10-15 minute intervals. The providers of the selected beers will be asked to present them (this should get FUN as the evening progresses!), followed by tastings.
After all of the beers have been presented and sampled, it's a free-for-all.
- RULES 1: Let's have fun! I can easily see this becoming an annual event!
- RULE 2: You've got to pay to play. Please only attend if you've brought (good) beer.
I think this is the ONLY time in my life that I wished I liked beer. I can't even stand the smell of it, but what you guys have cooking here sounds like a blast. I know you'll have a great time.
I have an unlimited supply of Ice. right on site in a huge boxWow, I never thought this event would get this many willing participants! I severely underestimated how many beer connoisseurs are out there in VAF!

I'm in! I have 3 microbreweries within 5 miles of my house.

If you can drag it out until Tuesday evening, I'll bring some "Homebuilt" beers I brewed in Cincinnati. Not getting in early is tough......
Looking forward to sampling "Truth" again!

Got room for a 5 gallon keg of home brew?

The beer tasting was a complete success! Many thanks to Jerry Fischer who generously supplied us with the abundant amount of ice we needed. Also, none of this would of been possible without the fabulous group of hard working volunteers. Many more pictures to come from my complete writeup, but here's a fun teaser!
