Hoptoberfest 2012

nice looking knife.

its a shame about the timing as its the same as the wine fair.

Sorry if it sounds like we're shitting on your parade but...... fuck the snooty wine tasting and save a hundred or two at the same time! There will be a shit-ton of world class beer there that you may find in places like eBay for a c-note or two per pop. Beer is the new wine, actually that saying is getting old now. Oh yeah and it's all basically free .

There's a few problems there, Nash: the "wine tasting" is anything but snooty - it's like picking the most crowded session of the Seaport beerfest, and then tripling the density; last year I _did_ "save a hundred or two" (at a 10% discount on every bottle); but most importantly - where's the conflict? The wine fair runs two or three days! Just pick another day.

Time to start thinking food. Due to our incredible success with gourmet out of this world burgers, I'm throwing that out there. We can go lamb, beef, pork, whatever......

[chalmers]

Please do the burgers again, they were incredible.

[LeafMan66_67]

I'd always vote for an excellent burger. I've seen the comments ... gotta taste the product!

[amartin]

Yes, burgers sound good.

[know1]

+1 for epic burgers

You are welcome to cook for me any time! In fact every time I browse the "What's Cooking" thread the wife asks when you're cook for us...

O.M.G.

I just knew an October vacation was going to be a bad idea.

[mr x]

OK, it's lamb burgers, and I'll count on people to bring some sides. Can we all handle $5/person for those eating? Can I assume all the attendees will have a burger?

I'll have a few more prizes as well for attendees. All food related again. We all have enough beer related toys. Rockbottom is donating some swag as well.

Yes and yes. Any preferences on sides to go with the lamb burgers?

[mr x]

Anything really. Spicy/veggies/etc. Indian/Mexican.... Anything I guess. There will be two grills available too.

I'm am going to wait and see what looks good at the markets in the coming weeks before I commit to making anything. Depends on how much time I have too.
