Final meet for 2016?

[n87]

As title, do we want to see each other again before the year is out?
Otherwise, its going to be early next year for the biere de garde tasting.

 

[gone brewing]

I'd be happy to have another meeting. I missed the last one because I had to attend a 25th wedding anniversary - mine.

 

[fungrel]

I'll be keen, have 4 new brews to share (if i don't drink them beforehand).

 

[n87]

Well 3 is enough for a meet... or atleast has been previously.
Ideas on dates?

12/13 - Prob a bit close
19/20
26/27 - Case swap on Sat
3/4 Dec
10/11
17/18 - Prob a bit late, weekend before Christmas.

 

[fungrel]

20th and 27th are good for me, 11th seems ok too

 

[gone brewing]

All good for me except 4th Dec.

 

[n87]

OK, so...
20th or 27th Nov
or 11th Dec

My vote would be for the 27th, the day after the case swap.
I figure I am going to be in trouble after the case swap, so I may as well 'bulk bill'
But really in for any of the above at this point.

If its only us 3 (likely Yogi or endisnigh will join when they figure out its being discussed), Having it in your neck of the woods would make sense if either of you want to host
Otherwise I am happy to.

I will put an email out to the sleepers to see if anyone else wants to join in.

 

[gone brewing]

I'm happy to host. I think Fungrel mentioned he was in between houses, but that might have been a while ago.

27th is the most mentioned date currently.

 

[fungrel]

House is livable.

27th is good for me for me to lock in.

 

[n87]

Ill leave it open till Monday, then lock in the 27th as it looks like everyone is happy with that.
Ill put it out to the website mailing list too, there have been a few emails subscribed that I dont recognise, will be good to get some fresh blood

 

[n87]

Well the email is out, and one person from the website mailing list has RSVP'd. I don't recognise the email, so I will just count as anonymous for the moment.

Few days out, everyone still coming?
Looks like we may still need some rolls for the snags if anyone else wants to bring something.

[joshuahardie]

I have some smoked goodies to bring.

 

[gone brewing]

I'll get some rolls.

Beer-wise, I have an English Bitter, a Brown Ale inspied by endisnigh that turned out pretty good and a Munich Dunkel.

 

[n87]

Of course, beers

my first Trippel attempt
Saison

I had a Belgian pale ale (starter for trippel), but the keg blew last night

 

[fungrel]

Will have:

American Wheat
American Rye
American Pale Ale w/Calypso
Apple IPA (yes, really)
Possibly a Vienna Lager

I have a bottle of Stone&Wood Doppelbock for tasting as well if some haven't had a chance to try it.

I could also introduce you to the beer called Carrie Bickmore. It's based on a recipe that started out being a Blonde Ale but I've played a bit with the grain bill, upping the munich malt and swapping the medium crystal for dark - so now it's a brunette.

 

[joshuahardie]

I have always wanted her in my mouth.....



i have a imperial pale, or a session ipa... take your pick it is neither
and a munich helles

 

[n87]

[fungrel]
