One month till the best holiday party of the season on January 4th 5PM at Forgotten Star Brewery!
The party is in the private room at the NORTH end of the building. You may enter through the brewery main entrance or directly into the private room from the north entry door.
Setup will start around 5:00 pm with teardown at 9:30 pm
Socializing will be from 5:30 – 7:00 pm
Buffet-style food service will begin at 7:00 pm (or whenever people get hangry)
Raffles with gift cards occurring throughout the night
What to bring
Food: Come with a potluck dish to share (bonus points for being prepared with a beer, cider, or mead). Make sure to bring serving utensils and an extension cord if needed.
A “People’s Choice” award will be given for the best potluck dish with beer, cider, or mead as an ingredient with voting going on throughout the night.
Plates, napkins, and silverware will be provided.
Beer/Cider/Mead/Wine to share: Bring any beer, mead, or cider that you wish to share. Bottles, growlers, and kegs are welcome. Don’t forget a small tasting glass—some plastic glasses will be available in case of emergency. The club will provide our jockeybox for use.
What? Remember to bring a tasting glass. Really. You should bring a tasting glass.
Even better if you put your name on it for the inevitable “I lost my tasting glass”.
Family and Friends: This is a family-friendly event, so bring your significant other, kids, and/or any friends/family that have ever expressed an interest in homebrewing or beer. As this is one of the most attended gatherings of the year, it’s a great opportunity to get out and meet your fellow homebrewers. If you have not made it to a meeting or would like to join the club, the Holiday potluck is a perfect chance to try some great homebrew and delicious food, and exchange homebrew with others.
It was great seeing everyone this weekend at the Cider Buy!
Now that you have your cider bubbling away, get ready for our Monthly Meeting this Saturday at Noon at Barrel Theory Brewing. Bring your best hoppy beers (or other homebrew) to compare notes and discuss together how to best get hop character in home brew. Would love to hear from some of our competition winners if they can make it. FB Link: https://www.facebook.com/share/182G8S8gcs/
And if you haven’t yet, mark you calendar for our Yearly Holiday Party! January 4 (NOTE date change) at Forgotten Star Brewery: https://www.facebook.com/share/15gWs1Gt41/
Don’t forget the cider buy is this Sunday at Number 12 Cider from Noon to 3 PM.
Also, in a couple weeks we have our next member at Barrel Theory, November 9th at Noon – bring your IPAs and be ready to chat all things hoppy beers with Timmy and team!
