Do you live in or around Adelaide?
Do you like making beer?
You like meeting other brewers?
Maybe you'll be interested in having a 2010 AHB Xmas Case Swap! :beer:
For those of you who are uninitiated (or haven't seen the various other case swap threads) the general idea is as follows:
- 25 people each brew up a case worth of beer (24 long necks, around the size of a 'single batch') - preferably something you're proud of
- you bring your case of beers (plus any samplers you want to share around and consume on the night... or a keg) along to a BBQ at a venue yet to be decided (usually someone's ample backyard)
- the beers are distributed amongst the cases, such that everyone gets a mixed case containing one of each of the 24 other beers
- a great night ensues
- ???
- profit!
- over the following x days/weeks/hours you get to taste some of the best efforts of 24 of your fellow brewers, and (if you wish) provide tasting notes or feedback to them in a yet-to-be-created thread here on AHB, which may lead to praise, discussions, posting of the recipe, etc.
Historically, these are pretty great nights. You get to meet a lot of the local brewers, catch up with the ones you already know, taste some awesome beers and food, and if all goes well enough, catch some sleep on the couch/floor/dog's blanket.
This will be an AHB organised event. I am not the 'owner' of this event, just the instigator, and as such I will have no veto power in making decisions. All decisions regarding this event will be made publicly by those wishing to host/attend/participate via this thread. While all aspects are up for debate, I would personally like to encourage the following;
- that this event be open and inviting to all brewers (be they K&K/BIAB/AG/etc) with a sensible amount of "plus-one" guests,
- that people attempt to the best of their ability to submit a brew that they are proud of (i.e. no unfinished, untasted, or unpleasant-to-the-brewer-who-made-it beers),
- that if people are attending and drinking, that they arrange alternative arrangements to driving themselves (i.e. get dropped off/picked up, catch a taxi/bus, stay the night, drink less (
)),
- that this thread be kept more-or-less on topic (I will be requesting moderation if it gets way too far off-track).
These events have been run many times by other people, so the usual topics are bound to come up along with the important stuff like the date, time, and venue. These include:
- Longnecks or stubbies?
- Glass or plastic?
- Theme or no theme?
- North or South?
- Official or unofficial Label Contest?
Hopefully each of these can be dealt with simply and politely.
I'm not currently sure what the best way to keep track of participants is, but for now, how about a simple list: Copy and paste the list into a reply and add your username if you would like to attend (all subject to dates/availability/location/etc at this point).
Cheers everyone!!!
