Re: Benz Beer Festival - 2016 - May 7
Was there a place to sign up for working the event or just show up?

Re: Benz Beer Festival - 2016 - May 7
We will be setting up the bar and assisting Benz, starting around 11 AM....we need to be ready to pour by 1 PM - that is when the VIP hour begins.
This is simpler then our Beer Festival....there are mainly four phases:
1) SETUP - Setup involves getting the bar and tent out of the trailer, assembling the tent, assembling the bar, rinsing the lines, setup kegs, ice them down, and do a few test pours. From there, we will give Benz a hand in setting up.
2A) HOST/POUR - We pour from 1PM - 5PM. The pouring crew will be responsible for swapping in/out kegs and replenishing CO2 and ice as needed.
2B) SELL/PROMOTE - Promote our festival by handing out business cards; sell tickets to our festival; sell beer bling.
3) TEARDOWN/CLEAN-UP - We teardown/clean-up beginning at 5 PM; drain and rinse the lines; disassemble the bar; store the bar in the trailer; disassemble the tent; store the tent in the trailer. Return kegs to the walk-in cooler at Benz or owners take their kegs home when they leave; or for owners not in town but providing beer - get with someone and let them know what to do with your keg/bottles/growler/???.
4) CELEBRATE - When everything is loaded into the trailer and our vehicles; we will adjourn to a mutually agreed upon watering hole and kickback a bit.

I'll be there @ 11am. Will need to bail out for about 30 minutes around 4pm to feed the dogs and let them out. Will be back before 5pm to help with tear down.

Re: Benz Beer Festival - 2016 - May 7
I'm not sure exactly when I'll get there. I have a couple guests in town for the weekend, but fortunately some of them like beer, and so they get to join us.

Re: Benz Beer Festival - 2016 - May 7
For whomever is writing up draft rotation: I removed my Cherry Cyser from the listings, I don't think it's aged out sufficiently yet.
I presume that for any "special tasting" bottles for VIP hour, just show up with them?

I am going to be in Des Monies on Saturday so I won't be there, but I am still planning on dropping off the beer I have on Friday at Benz. Enjoy the fest!

Tim said he was getting trailer at the last meeting. I can grab it though if need be. I am already on that side of town.whitedj wrote:Last minute items:
