Now that Ryefest has passed and we have a date for Big Strange Brew it's time to decide on Spring Lagerfest. A weekend in mid to late May sounds good to me. Long weekend or not?

I'm in for whenever..Mid Summer sounds ideal to me, that is unless we are having a Spring event AND a Summer event.

There always seems to be plenty of summer events, last minute or planned semi in advance. I like the idea of a spring event.

I'd prefer weekend before long weekend (12/13) but that is just me.

I'm always up for something.

This sounds great... I'd be in if it's not between the 23rd and 30th(I'll be out of town). Would Alesners be considered a lager?

I'm in.

Was just going to post something for May 7th, as it is National (US, but we can do it too) Homebrew Day. http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/p ... mebrew-day" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
We really should have an event on that day (or the 4th or 5th, the Friday or Saturday prior), and hopefully incorporate a brew of some sort.

Having said all that, I'll be on my way to Philly either Sat or Sun for a couple of weeks.

I think that sounds like a great idea. I could take my brewing equipment anywhere with a hose.

That does sound like a good idea!

You must have a very long hose!

I'm looking at that date myself. What's everyone think - let's hear it so we can get our ducks in a row.

I will be Just getting back from a road trip - works for me!

That date works for me. The long weekend people might be away or have company.

We could do it the same day as the Bluenose marathon and call it the Brewnose Marathon.

I can't make the 12th (camping) but maybe the 13th if not too hung over.

That weekend works the best for me at this point.

I'm in for the 12th

Y'all have fun without me!

You're too busy Chalmers!

Looking like the 12th might work out.. unless the weekend before works for more? (Works for me)

The only issue with that weekend is that it's coming up fast considering that we haven't done any planning.

True.. but picking the date seems to be the toughest part in the planning. Are we thinking something similar to the Rye Tasting but just random homebrews instead? Maybe a couple of people brewing a beer as well?

May 12 weekend works for me.

Yeah on bring random lagers. The other issue is location. Might be too quick to do at my place again.

Hey you can always come out to my place...

That's: head East until you think you're about to run out of Highway, turn right, and drive till you fall off the cliff.

It's only an hour East of Halifax

Looks like the 12th is out for me. Dinner with the kids in the valley.
