Interested in craft beer tasting get-together?

[jkw...@gmail.com]

As a self-professed "beer snob", I am always on the lookout to try new and interesting styles. Last year, I happened to run into a few other CodeMash "beer snobs" just outside Longnecks near the Kalahari convention area and an impromptu tasting / discussion broke out which was quite enjoyable.

If you consider yourself a "beer snob" and are interested in getting together to taste what folks bring along and to discuss our favorite craft beers, please reply on this thread.

Beer snob here!

I would be interested, but probably wont check a bag and therefore won't be able to bring anything.

And, unfortunately for Kevin, I am no longer in the Akron, OH area so I won't be able to bring him any Hopping Frog ( http://www.hoppinfrog.com/ ) .

Kevin: don't fear, I still do know at least one person around there who is coming to CodeMash so you can ping https://twitter.com/jbberke and ask him to bring you some :)

I'll bring some PA/NJ/NY brews with me.

[jkw...@gmail.com]

I have some of this rather tasty Hoppin' Frog aging in my basement that I'll bring along.

Sounds delightful! I'll try to send a shipper of bottles from the south east up to the venue.

Oh, shipping, that's a good idea.  I will see if I can find some more Deschutes Black Butte XXVI and do that.

I'm still in the Akron area, so I can do Hopping Frog as well...

[Paul Middlin]

I'd be interested. I'll see what I can bring.

I'm flying internationally, so I won't be able to bring anything with me.  But, I can either put a bit of cash in or someone's going locally to do a beer run, I can pick some suggestions up.

Otherwise, yes, I'm up for a tasting if it doesn't conflict with my schedule.

Cheers -- Peter

Count me in to bring beer from Beer City USA aka Grand Rapids. Can bring kegs from Founder's, Perrin, New Holland and possibly Bell's for the event. Lots of Michigan breweries so just ask. :-)

[Sridhar Nanjundeswaran]

Am in. Not planning on checking anything so I will investigage shipping from California or contribute to somebody who is bringing.

[Jeff V]

I'm in for this, definitely!

I actually home-brew, so I'd love to bring some of my own creations and see what people think!

I plan on bringing a couple bottles each of:

* American Pale

* Maple Bourbon Porter (about 7.5% ABV)

* Vanilla Bourbon Baltic Porter (in secondary now, but should come out 9-9.5% ABV)

If there are any other home brewers out there, it would be awesome to share recipes, equipment details, etc...

Excellent idea Jeff! I'm getting together with some co-workers in November to brew our own beer at North High Brewing in Columbus. I'll be sure to bring some of that along.

[Eric Gurney]

He makes good stuff.  Looking forward to it!

I could bring some beer from the Cayman Islands ( http://caybrew.com/content/6-the-beer ) but I'm not sure it'll impress the beer snobs beyond the source.

The local rum is pretty good though , I could bring a couple bottles to share : http://caymanspirits.com/sevenfathomsrum/

[jkw...@gmail.com]

Rum and craft beer. That could be an rather interesting combination.... :-)

[James Hatheway]

Cool , I'll try to bring some rum then.

This is funny, as I was one of the people in that impromptu beer meeting :)  Some big boys were broken out last year!  

I will definitely be bringing some good beer, and probably a keg of some homebrew to serve somewhere in that place as Improving is not having the usual house party this year :\

It looks like we have a lot of interest in this which is GREAT!

I created a shared spreadsheet on my Google Drive where folks can indicate what they are bringing and what they would like to taste.  The link is below.  Feel free to add your name and your beers to it.  If anyone has problems with editing this, let me know.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XuJ7B2yoM63mhAcrCgz9h-I6kRhbPDSlls8KA2hn2Ac/edit?usp=sharing

[jkw...@gmail.com]

Just added what I am bringing along to the spreadsheet below. Will probably expand upon this as we get closer. 

[ern...@gmail.com]

I just gained approval and got my tickets for the event. I am heading from East TN. I can bring a couple homebrew growlers and have a couple bottles in mind.

[jkw...@gmail.com]

Hello all:

With CodeMash 2015 less than two weeks away, I think it's time to put some logistics around this tasting event.

If you are bringing beer to taste, take a moment and add what you are bringing to:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XuJ7B2yoM63mhAcrCgz9h-I6kRhbPDSlls8KA2hn2Ac/edit?usp=sharing

I took a look at the conference agenda (http://www.codemash.org/event-agenda/) and I think our best nights to have this are Tuesday night or Wednesday night. Thursday night is out because of the water park party that night. I added a column to the spreadsheet (link is above) that allows folks to indicate their preference. If you want to come, please indicate your choice on this spreadsheet.

Regarding the location, I have no problem hosting this in my room at Kalahari. It's a standard room which should be big enough. I would prefer to grab a room in the convention area but I don't know if we can do this. Suggestions?

[Jay Wren]

Its 3 weeks away on my calendar. Did I miss a date change announcement? :)

[jkw...@gmail.com]

My bad. I meant to less than 3 weeks away.

[Jeff V]

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the precompiler days this year, so it looks like I won't be able to participate. 

-Jeff V.

[kyurthich]

Wednesday night may work for me. Before the Artemis thing I have at 10:30.

[kyurthich]

10 not 10:30. Oops

[Carissa Brittain]

Absolutely interested, but also not checking baggage.

[ern...@gmail.com]

Any updates to the beer get together? Will we have a place, if we are staying off site, to leave our coolers during the day we have our meeting?

[jkw...@gmail.com]

We are definitely on. To avoid conflicts with other official CodeMash events and based on day preferences saved to the Google spreadsheet I shared, we will be doing this on Wednesday night. Exact time and room location will be posted soon.

[Nick Orlando]

I volunteer my Kalahari room's full size refrigerator for anyone who needs to store anything that day.

Promise I won't drink any of your stuff :)

[Nathan Dotz]

Ditto. We also have a full size fridge room, if anyone wants to chill their stuff out.

Too bad we can't carry these down and take over some tables in the back to watch lightning talks while we sample them.

You could ask the conference organizers, but that sort of thing is often tricky, because it tends to fall under the venue's liquor license.

--

Kevin Pilch-Bisson

[Nathan Dotz]

Last time I tried, the Kalahari staff told us that we could only bring 1 adult beverage per person in the conference area, I am assuming indeed because of a liquor license issue.

FYI – I will not be bringing a keg but a cooler full of different West Michigan beers from the likes of Founders, Bell, Odd Side, Perrin, Brewery Vivant, New Holland and others.

 

See you all next week!!

Hello all:

With CodeMash 2015 just around the corner, let's see if we can get some logistics squared away.

I checked my shared spreadsheet and it looks like Tuesday or Wednesday will be good for most people. So, to avoid going head to head with Wednesday's evening events (see the agenda) and my company's gathering on Wednesday night, let's get together on Tuesday night at 8 PM. I will offer up my room as the gathering spot. It's a Hut style room which should be big enough. If there is enough interest, we can convene again on Wednesday night as well.

Bring along your favorite tasting glassware. I think it is safe to assume that everyone has good beer glassware :-)

Optional: Bring along a snack to share if you choose. Nothing fancy. Thinking bag of chips or pretzels. 

Most importantly, bring along the beer you are sharing. My room has a mini fridge in it but I suspect it won't have a lot of space available in it. So, you may want to bring your beer in a cooler.

[ern...@gmail.com]

I just updated my list of beers to bring. Tuesday night is fine with me. I will need a fridge to keep the beers in Tuesday during the day though as I intend to drive to the resort and stay there until we are finished that evening before returning to my hotel.

[Nick Orlando]

I noticed the spreadsheet shows we're up to 8 people. I have a Lodge suite. Would that be more convenient than your Hut?

I'll have room in the kitchen fridge for everything- it's full-size, and it will be completely empty.

Nick

[jkw...@gmail.com]

Thanks Nick! Your room will be perfect for this. When you have the room info, post it here so folks know where to go on Tuesday.

[Nick Orlando]

Happy to oblige :)

I'll reach out to everyone on the spreadsheet via email/Twitter DM once I know the room number I will have.

Crap. I forgot to ship beer and need to leave for the airport before anything opens tomorrow. I guess I can't bring anything after all. 😢

[Nick Orlando]

Are you flying into CLE?

If you still wanted to bring something (even if it isn't local to you), the Great Lakes Brewing Company in CLE Concourse C sells six packs of most of their brews. You could grab one when your flight lands.

[Craig Mauer]

Hey all, I'd like to join in, just added my name to the spreadsheet.

One question - how much beer is enough to bring? A few people had long lists of what they're bringing.

Thanks,
Craig

[Jay Wren]

mmm… both Nosferatu and Blackout Stout are in season. nom nom nom.

[Eric Gurney]

I was thinking of bringing those 2!

Has anyone had anything from Wicked Weed in Asheville, NC yet? I'm planning on bringing 2. 

Ernie

[jkw...@gmail.com]

I have not had anything from Wicked Weed. Sounds like a great choice to bring along.

[Steven Harman]

I just added a few items to the spreadsheet. 

I had planned to ship up some stuff from my cellar - 2011 Burnt Hickory Imperial Stout, 2012 Brooklyn Black Ops, 2011-2013 Founders KBS - but got lazy. In the end, flying with bottles is just too much of a pain, so I'm brining some cans for y'all. See you soon!

[Mike Hosinski]

I'll be bringing a few six-packs of singles from Greenbush in Sawyer, MI. Off the top of my head: Dunegras, Broken Promises, Brother Benjamin, Anger, Yogi Borealis, Demeter, Mr. Hyde, Krampus 1, Vanderbush, Owls in the Roadhouse, and a few more.

[jkw...@gmail.com]

Craig,

There is no minimum with regards to what to bring along and share. Welcome aboard!

[Don Miller]

I am joining in too guys.  Let me know when you decide on a time.  We have a suite, so I am open to hosting.  More details after I check-in.

Craig - I will be bringing probably 12 cans/bottles.

Thanks,

Don (@donmiller)

[jkw...@gmail.com]

Welcome everyone! It looks like we'll have a very good gathering Tuesday night. We are getting together at 8 pm. Nick has graciously offered up his bigger room with the all important full fridge. He will be posting room details later.

[Nick Orlando]

Room 2510. If you want to drop anything off to the fridge, shoot me a tweet @TheSoftwareDev.

I'll be awake and here or in a nearby room til around 11pm tonight!

[Andy Schofield]

Just stumbled across this but luckily I came (mostly) prepared. I updated the spreadsheet with my beers but I did not bring appropriate glassware. If anyone can help me out in that area I'd appreciate it.

[Jackie Gleason]

I'll come and bring a 22 of a cider I just finished. I will also bring a random 6r of an IPA maybe torpedo or something.

If that is ok I am kind of late to the party.

[jkw...@gmail.com]

No worries. Welcome aboard.

[jkw...@gmail.com]

To make intros / remembering names easier, wear your CodeMash badge tonight.

[Ernie Dunn]

I will not make it. Had to leave abruptly for a family illness.

There are still have 20+ beers in my fridge leftover from our tasting...

Anyone who wants to reclaim their left-behinds, please let me know on here or Twitter (@TheSoftwareDev)

Otherwise I may be forced to drink all of them.
