I'll be there with beer. Most likely with 2 kegs.

More specifically I'll bring a keg of Killer Bees- a braggot and a keg of C-Note- a centennial IPA.

I'm bringing a hoppy imperial red. 5 gallons - hopefully in a keg, if not bottles

You can bring any amount you like for this event. Typically people bring 4-5 bombers or equivalent 12 0z, or if kegs usually 2.5 to 5 gallons.

bombers???

22 oz. bottles are called bombers. They are bigger than a pint, but not a quart. Gotta call 'em something. May as well name them after what they do.

I have a batch of Firestone Walker Pale 31 that I'm brewing for it, assuming it doesn't come out tasting like arm!

I'm not sure if a Belgian pale ale will be ready or not but I will have three or four bombers of peach mead, raspberry porter, and a very dry stout. The pale ale is an experiment with pale ale malt instead of pilsner and a high gravity yeast instead of schelde, but it will be kegged.

I'm bringing a coffee stout 2.5 gallons.

Correction. I will be bringing "Fluffhead". Fluffhead is a poor excuse for an IPA. He was only created because there wasn't enough pale ale malt for a proper IPA. Alas, poor Fluffhead is half wheat. And he is not allowed to play with regular IPA's. But someday, Fluffhead's gonna get his.

I have a scottish wee heavy that I am bringing (dependent on tasting).

In addition I will gather some of the club RIS, I am thinking 1/2 keg as it is an extremely heavy beer.

Nevermind, I'm not going to have time to brew in the coming weeks.

This is just an initial post so people can start planning. This year's event is Saturday, May 12th.

Randy, put me down for a keg of something... I'm brewing pretty much every weekend, so I'll have something to bring.

I'll be bringing a zombie dust clone, a DIPA using all Citra hops.

[jjbuck]

The Belgian pale ale experiment looks like it will be ready in time. I hope it doesn't taste like (what does Tony say?) arm.

I am bringing a 5 gallon keg of my Savannah Stout which is a Chocolate, Coffee, Oatmeal stout. I think it is similar to Founder's Breakfast Stout, only smaller.
