February Happy Hour at Thew Brewing

Post by laloeb »

This month's Happy Hour is Sunday, February 27th.

We will be pouring from 3 PM to 5 PM.

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. 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.

3) Invite your friends by whatever means available to you. We'll have more fun, and Thew might enjoy the extra business.

You can sign-up here by responding to this post, to volunteer your time and/or beer. Let's meet at Thew Brewing around 2:30 PM to set-up and be ready to go at 3 PM. This is a great opportunity to pour your brews and get feedback from like-minded people who enjoy craft beer.

I hope to be there, but will be coming back from Milwaukee. I am questionable at best.

I plan to attend; now whether or not I have any beer to share, that's another thing!

UPDATE: The BeerMkr kit for the coconut stout arrived just a bit ago and I've started it in the machine. While they advertise this recipe as a "5 Day" kit, they are misleading in that they don't account for the carbonation step that takes another day! I will be watching this carefully in hopes that I can shortcut it somewhere and have it for the Happy Hour, albeit maybe a bit under carbonated.

Decided not to short-circuit the coconut stout brew, so I won't be bringing it today. I will update folks on how it comes out when I tap it on Monday/Tuesday? I will definitely bring it to the next club meeting.

Plan B is in effect: an assortment of N/A beverages to sample.
