Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

I have a brown ale to go (no name, yet) - it should be an american brown clean flavor with lots of nuttiness.
Also have an 'Apple iPA' going. It's a ~4%, ~30IBU pale ale with all additions after 20 minutes (simco, centennial and amarillo). I may even spike it with cider!

Are there plans to laminate the posters or any ideas how to hang them?

Thanks, Jim. I did like the idea from yours to put the brewer's names on them. I will incorporate that into the "template."

I have plastic sleeves to put them in. Our current plan is to hang them from the bottom of our banner with binder clips. Hence, the numbered "circles" on the bottom, in lieu of the white board numbering system.

We really should get together again, and discuss some details for club night. Dan, what's the status on the ordering for the bar? Do you need money?

I threw this together quick and dirty for my IPA. Founders is nice enough to put hi-res pics of their labels online.

BTW, my brother is making us infringing logos for Founders, Bells, and Brewery Vivant.

I have decided to change my beer names. My witbeir is going to have a hopbag of oranges dropped in it, and will be called Orange Crush. The pale ale is going to get a bag of citra hops added, and will be using the old Citra soda logo. Assuming I can find a decent image. What do you guys think? I am hoping adding oranges to my wit doesn't make me look like a hack.

I would just add about 3 grams of orange zest in a hop bag. Zest gives you all the orange character you could want without messing with all the fruit. Jamil suggested orange zest in a wit beer styles article in BYO so I don't think it makes you a hack. I had 9 grams of grapefruit and 9 grams of orange zest in the first Simply Brett I brought to the April meeting at Bricks. I found that out of balance. You can always add more if it is not enough.

I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush.

But Matt, it's well established that you are indeed a hack.

Bells is got great plans for AHA! http://bellsbeer.com/blog/262-National_ ... ial_lounge

I plan to spend some quality time in the Bell's lounge. Sounds awesome.

Tony, I emailed you a couple of my labels.

Sweet!

Thanks, Matt. Got'em.

Here is my ultra hacky Simply Brett Label. I attached the original I was working with too. Anybody with some graphics skills is welcome to improve the version I made. ABV for this one is 4.20%

Love it!

Working on the banner for the display. Here's how it looks so far. Comments, suggestions, etc. welcomed.
Need more logos, folks. Keep those beer names coming!
