Go Play NW 2012 Homebrew Festival

[tonydowler]

First of all, this is completely unofficial me talking not in my capacity as an organizer.

We should totally have a GPNW homebrew fest to coincide with the Friday Night Feast. We have a huge number of homebrewers in the community, so we should celebrate it. I can commit to bringing a few growlers of something. Anyone else want to take part?

[Ben Wray]

I would be unable to contribute to supply but happy to help with demand. Homebrew is, in my experience, generally pretty fantastic.

[tonydowler]

Providing demand is an important and noble part of beer.

As a non-beer-drinker, I'd like to encourage any cider makers to bring their stuff as well.

How about just bringing some beer from my favorite local nanobrewery? (though technically they've moved into a bigger space now, so they're a full-on microbrewery at this point, and sadly not really local anymore).

I might be able to help with this. I'm a new homebrewer with only 5 or 6 brews to my name. I can therefore give little to no assurance as to the quality of anything I bring, however I would happy to do so if you folks are feeling brave.

I was planning on making a dark, dry-hopped, IPA for my next experiment. I should have 5 gallons of it ready come Friday feast. I would only request that the bottles be saved for future use.

If there is an overwhelming dislike of IPAs I can make something else.

Thanks,
Eric

Definitely bring it! I really need to get a batch down for GPNW soon as well.

IPA. ESB. ETC.

Give it to me. It fuels my gamer powers.

Could I get a tad more info about the Friday Night Feast?
Where is it exactly?

[tonydowler]

The feast will be held in the same building as the convention. If the weather is nice, it will be an outside barbecue. If it's rainy, we have a huge ballroom where we'll have the feast and gaming. There will also be some vegetarian options for dinner.
