Town Park Home-Brew & Tasting Event

[Prospector]

I confess to being one of the best tasters this side of the Mississippi River. East Side. I will be willing to taste all beverages in an effort to obtain a good understanding of what it is that might be smoldering in that there container. Clear stuff scares me as I have been left semi unconcious more than once. As long as I am not driving, I have been noted to take a good snort of the clear juice. I would prefer to be in familiar surroundings as my good natured self leaves me and another party animal takes ahold of my well being. Often times leaving me in a state of bewilderment. If this is the sort of taste testing you have in mind, count me in.

With all due respect to the Debbie and hubby from Tucson and what I am sure will be a very good mead...

A close second to that kick-ass TCP that he brews, is James' mead...  now that is MY version of "comfort alcohol"...

So, is the homebrew tasting done in one area or do we get to tour the campground stopping at everyone's spot to try their personal brew?

It has been in one spot, but we have talked about making it into a scavanger hunt type thing where you had a list of beers to taste, and you had to find them.

[Hippie]

Heck I'm in favor doing both!
A killer home brew tasting party @ Wander In
AND
a scavenger hunt to find where the brews are hidden in the forest?

I'll make the punch card.

I really like the idea of wandering around Town Park and trying different homebrews and then getting your card punched at each homebrewer's station.  If this idea sounds good to ya-all and if it's acted upon by The Mayor, we should culminate the event with a FEED of some sort (deep-fried ANYTHING with dipping sauces goes well with all homebrew)...(and I got a fryer)...(or maybe we could talk Boulder Dave into frying 13 turkeys again! ... What happened to Fryer-Dave anyway?).  We will need to feed in order to soak-up the home-booze before RUM-BALLS!  And... all cards that have all stations punched should be entered into a drawing for something special...  keeping the big prize ver-wy ver-wy seek-wit.

Let' do it! ... The Kaptain

I love, love, love the idea of the Homebrew Scavenger Hunt!  Does anyone remember the t-shirts you used to get in Telluride with all the bars on it?  You paid 25.00 for the t-shirt and got a free drink at each bar, and they "X"'d out the bar on your shirt.  I believe there was some kind of plaque or something at the end... but my t-shirt has a big stain on it where I fell flat on my face after bar #7.

The implications here for the "H.B.S.H."... hilarious!!
