We've had good luck with the crew at Gahan/Hart&Thistle letting us raid their ice machine in the morning. May be worth reaching out.

Brewed an English bitter for this, using American malts, hops, and yeast. So kind of a light APA? I dunno. Anyway it smells great so far!

I'll have a ball lock co2 tank if anyone is bringing a ball lock keg. Will likely whip up some sort of food that can be cooked there - jalapeño poppers, or something

Everyone come! Bring all your friends! The beer I bring must all be drunk! (if its drinkable)

Also if someone wants to reach out to gahan I'll gladly pick up the ice. Otherwise I'll take you up on the offer Keith, its just a bit closer to go downtown

One week to go! We're covered for CO2 for both ball and pin lock setups so bring your kegs!

Sounds good.

In the spirit of Keith's 'guest tap' idea does anyone who can't attend in person care to send a keg or bottles ahead of time? We always have more beer quantity than we need but variety is important too.

I can bake some fresh burger buns if no one has that covered. I have made dinner rolls before but never full sized buns so I will do a test batch this week and then make 2 or 3 dozen on Friday night or Saturday morning.

I can also help out in the variety department as I have bottles of plenty of different homebrews. I can bring a few bottles each of my Galaxy APA, my SMaSH saison (pils + Styrian Goldings), my Orval clone, and my 11.5% Belgian strong.

:drunk:

Really looking forward to this!

If anyone wants to drop free beer off to me, that's an option too

Three days to go! The party starts mid afternoon and goes until the beer runs out (or the sun comes up).

I still have Jon (gm-)'s rye beers from the exchange earlier in the year, since we haven't been able to meet up with him being in Saint John. Since he's moving this summer and has enough beer to drink he's graciously decided to donate them for the weekend. I probably won't be attending though, so can only drop them off tomorrow evening. Is that fine with you Kyle? If you're not home, I could always leave them on your deck or something.

Thanks, Jon and Andrew. We'll gladly take them and pass on whatever's left after the party to other Brewnosers one way or another. I won't be home tomorrow night but you could leave them in the back yard.

Ok, that works.

I'm in daddy mode else I'd be joining everyone. Have fun!

Our ice supplier was a no show. Does anyone else have access to a commercial ice machine?

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 9:48 am

sry dude. Family emergency

Thanks Kyle. Great night.

I think I should get the old fart prize though.

Thanks Kyle! That was a lot of fun.

Thanks everyone for coming and bringing awesome beer and snacks. It was a fun night.

Special thanks go to Keith for supplying the ice, Josh and Zach for the music, and Maritime Wine and Beer Emporium for the prizes.
