NHC Beer Roll call

looking forward to those. Just marked your club's location on the Club Night map.

Sadly my road trip is starting too long before NHC for me to get kegs up there, but I'm bringing some bottles for my online friends of gems I've created. I'll be hanging/pouring with the KCBM crew on Club Night. One of these years I'll get some more of my own club members to show up.

cheers--

I will be there this year for my first NHC. I keep hearing about Club Night being this crazy thing. What does it entail? Just a lot of drinking/sharing homebrew? Do people also bring commercial stuff to share?

 

you can bring commercial stuff another time. Club Night is about the homebrew. Some like costumes or themes or really crazy creations but mostly this is just about great beer. There are about 80 clubs hosting booths to visit. Here's the list:

Club Night is big fun, just remember it is a marathon, not a sprint.

I have to be up early the next morning, so I will pace myself.

 

Ok. well there is 6 beers I want to try on club night! Good start! I'm driving from CT, but not bringing any kegs. My little homebrew club pulled off pouring at Philly last year, but couldn't get it together for this year. It'll be fun to be free to enjoy others beers, and not have to pour.

I will prob. bring some of my sours for random sharing.

 

No pouring for me this year, but next year in SD? It's on!

 

Well then everyone is in for a treat because you make some same fine beer. That Belgian pale was delicious!

 

I am with C.R.A.F.T. and am bringing a keg of Rauchbier that is supposed to pour on Club Night.

 

I am with HOPS! and will have a Session IPA (100% Best Red X malt) and an APA made with Golden Promise and features nelson at club night. Stop by and say hi.

 

I feel MUCH shame. This is my first rodeo, unaware of the beer brew culture and I'm therefore ill-prepared. My most successful brew is gone and I'm far from pleased with my remaining beer options.

 

we like great beer at Club Night, but for the rest of the conference, there's not a better opportunity to get feedback from expert homebrewers and high ranking judges. Just sayin'...

if you haven't figured out whatever you aren't pleased about in the aforementioned beers, you are welcome to send me a PM and we can arrange to meet to talk about it.
(and, next time save some vanilla sweet stout for the rest of us, eh?!)

 

Ditto - one of my primary services for my club is to taste people's beer and give graceful but real evaluations with thoughts on what's right and what needs correction.

 

I'll be pouring with @sarcastro at Kuhnhenn Guild of Brewers. Bringing myself an IPAish Pale that was hopped 4 ways, same wort split to 4 different 5 gallon batches.

Citra
Mosaic
Nelson Sauvin
White Hallertauer

They all smell amazing, going to be super fresh too, this was a collaboration between several club members.

 

waiting drives me nuts
Can't concentrate? - make haiku!
(is it next week yet?)

 

FYI - There will be a forum meetup space at the NHC. Friday 11:15AM-12:15PM in Grand Gallery A-D

 

Rauchbier has some fusal alcohol and is not good enough for NHC. I am now bringing my Munich Dunkel.
