Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

I will attend. I am not certain what I will bring yet other than a Sweetwater Festival Ale and possibly an Up in Smoke Porter (if carbonated). I will post when I know.

Is there something that you guys would prefer I bring.
A desert, a side dish, a main dish, an appitizer.
I can bring anything, just thought I would post and see if there is something that you would prefer that I bring first.

By the way I will be attending and dave the kid likes Cheese and Sausage pizza.

Jeremy Orchuk

Jeremy:

It looks like we are a little light on the side dishes. Maybe a starch or salad of some sort.

Also, thanks for letting me know about the pizza.

Dave

If we need to balance dishes I can be flexible with either a meat, side or dessert. Not sure yet what Jim will have on his end as host, so let me know what works and i can adjust.

Mark

I will bring a salad. I have a few in mind. The details will just have to be a surprise as it depends on what looks good at the store.

Of course, this means I'll have to keep my pan from springing a leak this year.

Mmmm.... One side: cake. The other side: chocolate stew.

Sorry I couldn't post earlier. Couldn't get on the web site, then was traveling most of this week. Dave, thanks for adding me to the list of food and attendance. I will also be bringing some special beers and maybe a port to try with the choc cake. Mark, we can have a mini port tasting with the choc cake. I have a Petit Syrah port I will bring. Should be another great Beer Nuts party! See you all tomorrow. Don't let a little snow stop you.

Note to Jim E:
If you are planning to prepare meat, the brisket piece I am bringing is 2.5lbs if you want to gauge how much to make.

Mark

Well, we are going to wimp out...both kids are sick, and it has started to snow early..

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable pot-luck!! (we will -really- miss the chocolate cake/port tasting!)
