Brewnosers / Rockbottom Freestyle Collaboration Series

Post by NASH » Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:01 am

Okay guys, who's up for a Brewnosers Freestyle tap at Rockbottom? :drool:

Over the coming weeks I propose we brew an ongoing series of collaboration brews with those of you interested. We'll need to start a list of who wants to brew what and when. The when part might get a little tough to pin down since I only have so many faucets to work with and at this point how quickly the batches move through the system remain to be seen but we'll make it happen.

For each batch in the series we'll need to collaborate, discuss ingredients I stock or can stock, formulate the recipe and brew it. Each of you will be guest brewer for a day and you won't need to win a competition to have your beer on tap at the local brewpub. Should be a blast! :cheers2:

I'll throw mine and Chalmers name in the hat
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Sounds awesome! I am in if time, and Mason permits.

I say we bring a few carboys and do some parti-gyle action as well.

I'd love to! I certainly don't mind waiting until mid-winter/early spring (or even later), cuz I don't see me having much free time before then.

Nash, let me just say that you have an awesome open attitude with your fellow brewers! Very progressive.

If this series continues until I get a bit more experience under my belt I'd love to take part as well.

Thanks,

I'm in the same boat as Rob. Would love to participate but don't have a ton of experience just yet.

Now let's get that new logo done so we can put it on the tap.

If we could add an extra few hours to each day, it'd be no problem… :crazy:

I say the flaming hop you sent me would be sweet on a tap handle.

That's my feeling too. I'd love to hang out with you guys when someone else brews to get the experience. But I also have a wicked nut brown recipe that I love.

Me three, but if you ever need help with someone lugging some grains/spent hops/etc around during one of these brew sessions I could probably justify that for a day off work.

Me fourth. Sounds incredible, though!

I don't mind doing some labour - and can basically take time off when I want.
