Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

Dan and I have kicked around this idea before and during the Christmas party; he suggested we get this posted to get the discussion started.....

This season's Super Bowl will be on Sunday, February 1, 2015, kickoff at 5:30 PM CST / 6:30 PM EST.

Would any of you like to get together at a public venue to watch the game and enjoy some good beers and food?

If so, we have options:

1) I visited with Danny at Big Grove in early December; and he said the Big Grove is really slow on Super Bowl Sunday and would be happy to host us. We could bring beer to share. You all know BG (in Solon) and know they have decent food and offer a good variety of beers. They would be open for us to bring beer to share like we do at Bricks and Lion Bridge; and I think he might throw in an incentive or two for us to come.

2) Haven't talked with Quinton, but I am sure he would give us a space at Lion Bridge; I do not know if he can show the game on his big screen. It is on the network, so I am relatively sure there would be no license/copyright issues - but I would need to check with him.

Brick's or Third Base - but since these venues are sport's bars...but I could see that they could be pretty crowded that day.

Either way, I do not think we have to have a big crowd, anywhere in the 6-10 range is a GO in my mind.

Reply only if you would consider participating, so we can gauge the level of interest.

I would probably be interested

Sounds like a fun time and maybe my Baltic Porter will be ready by then.

I'm in for option 1 or 2.

Big Grove sounds like a good venue for a beer nuts event. I'd love to join for that one!

BG would be excellent

Tony asked about a start time for the Super Bowl Party...

Let's plan a Pregame start at 4:30 PM CDT - kick-off is at 5:30 PM CDT.

Bottle-share is definitely happening, so feel free to bring some interesting beers to sample/share; BG will be participating and reciprocating at some level.

Dan from BG or I will post more info as it becomes available.

It looks like the wife and I will be there.

I am coming, and I am bringing my boys. I may or may not have Sarah, she is going to a broadway show in Des Moines, and will be cutting it close.

Can either of them drive yet? That will be sweet.

Big Grove is going to have a couple of food specials for us...they are thinking of having some smoked wings and smoked brisket made up for us, and a few sides available too...likely potato salad and baked beans.

AND....the kitchen will be open so we can order off of the menu.

So, now what we need to do to seal this deal, is to give Big Grove a headcount.

Please reply to this post and state the number attending in your party.

Unless our fearless leaders chime in to the otherwise, I believe this is an open meeting...so feel free to invite a friend or neighbor or two to join in (especially if they would like to participate in the bottle share).

Sharing good beer(s), good food, and the Super Bowl with friends....and no CLEAN-UP?....how much better can it get than this, while keeping your pant on???!!!

WHAT, I have to keep my pants on??!!

Oh well, I guess I'm in anyway.

1 for sure, maybe 2.

I shall be there.

I can't make it [emoji17]
