May 28 - Beer Nuts Happy Hour at Lion Bridge Sign-up

Post by daryl »

The club will host another Beer Nuts Happy Hour at Lion Bridge on Sunday, May 28th.

We will be pouring from 3 PM to 5 PM (or 6+ ish).

What is needed:

1) Volunteer workers; 2 minimum, but 3-4 would be good

2) Beer contributions; in bottles and/or growlers; kegs are acceptable but you will need to bring everything you need to dispense from your keg/kegs and containers/coolers to keep your brews cold- the club will provide a large bag of ice. We will pour for at least two hours, and in 2 oz samples; so we will not need tons of beer, but it is nice to have 4-6+ varieties that we could offer. And, if you like, we can go past 5 PM, but that will be up to the volunteers hosting the Happy Hour.

You can sign-up here by responding to this post, to volunteer your time and/or beer.

Let's meet at LB around 2:30 PM to set-up and be ready to go at 3 PM.

It has been suggested, and I agree, that one way to improve your brewing skills is to seek every opportunity that you can to pour and share your work with others. This one of those opportunities provided by your club and it is a lot of fun to serve beer with folks truly interested in craft beers.

As always, e-mail or PM me with questions/concerns/suggestions.

Cheers,
Daryl

Just another reminder, if you are thinking about bringing beer, please send me the name of the beer and the style, so it will make to the menu.

It's much better to provide the info; and if it happens to be a no show (cuz you blow the keg between now and then), we just scratch it off the list. That's much easier than hand updating the menu.

I will be at Lion Bridge just before 3 PM to set-up.

Looks like it will be a beautiful day, come on down and hang out with our contributing brewers and participate in Josh's beer testing experiment.

And another Happy Hour is in the books.

There was a good crowd at Lion Bridge this afternoon; and we had some good traffic.

Next month I am planning on creating some type of triangular tri-folds; or get some plastic upright photo frames, to put on the tables to instruct patrons about the Happy Hour and to advertise our festival.

We put the down just before the Happy Hour, and pick them up at about 5:45 and announce a last call for samples. Of course, we can pour a bit longer.

Josh's Taste Test was a hit....maybe he will do a repeat sometime in the future. It was fun and learned a few things....I'll not let on too much, in case he does the same trails again.

Thanks to Tony, Josh, and Karl for sharing their beers....no one went thirsty.

Cheers
