I'm supposed to have some Oktoberfest laggering for this but have been too slow with the brew rig upgrades.

Sent from the brew timer.

[canuck]

What kind of time frame might this be happening? I wouldn't mind trying to make it down for this.

[jeffsmith]

I'll definitely be trying to make it down again this year.

[bluenose]

I'd love to be able to make this, and to finally be able to contribute some beer

when/where was it held last year?

[GuingesRock]

I'd like bring my wife and some beer, and try some beer.

[dexter]

I had a blast at last years and am looking forward to this years.

I'll see what I can do on my end. Sept 28th?

That leaves just enough time to squeak out some Oktoberfest-style lagers, I think.

[pet lion]

Already thinking about what sort of IPA to make for this.

[Jimmy]

Sept 28th sounds good to me.

What should we do for food this year?

[mr x]

Was just thinking of this today. Burgers again? Or a bold new direction, lol.

[GAM]

Hot dogs.

We could do a couple of roasts and shave for sandwiches.

The lamb burgers were epic. I could eat them again - of course I was only involved in the eating, not the preparation.

Smoked pork butt for pulled pork?

[GuingesRock]

Has it ever been a pot luck thing? The pot luck could have a theme.

Curry goes well with beer....order in from a curry house?

[LeafMan66_67]

The burgers have been epic burgers. I'm up for them or pulled pork, or shaved roast or pretty much anything!

[HPhunter]

I recommend food... and lots of it! I plan on attending and will bring a few contraptions (HPimproved) along to entertain with also. Lets make it an HOPtoberfest to remember!

Or at least have a foggy memory of attending!

A big pot of curry chicken would be awesome

[HPhunter]

Hoppy Curry Chicken!

[GuingesRock]

A big pot of ......

I didn't think of that before now, but "big pots" are pretty common around here

could have another "big pot" of something else for anyone who doesn't like curry (if there is anyone who doesn't)

Lobsters? chilli? beef and IPA stew? mussels cooked in beer.

Smoked Chili could be good.

We sometimes smoke our spaghetti sauce on the grill, and it's delicious. You could possibly do the same with chili?

Chilli is easy to make, a lot of people like it and the ingredients are cheap.

I've heard that turkey fries are really tasty, but never tried it. Might need an Ottiscan rig to raise and lower the turkey into the oil. Could be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

Big pot of corn on the cob? What other fruits and veg would be in season.

Yes, I've used smoked meat in chili before and it is excellent.

As good as that sounds, I think there are brewnosers with shellfish allergies. I don't know how severe, but probably still best to avoid.

Go to a local sausage-maker with a bag o hops, have them make spicy beer and hop snausages. Make a bucket o beer kraut. Make a tub o beer and hop mustard. Go to a local bakery with a jug o beer and spent grain, have them make beer and spent grain snausage buns. Grill 'em on WOOD. Everyone can eat one or two and take some home if there's any leftover. That, or start selling them on eBay and we'll get rich. Easy to have done, fast and easy to cook, delicious to eat. Mmmm, sweet delicious beer, hops and pork. It is Hoptoberfest, after-all

Or smoke a suckling. Or not

Beer. Hops. Pork.







That's right.
