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

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.

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.

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.

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.
