Hoptoberfest 2015 - September 26, 2015

[benwedge]

If we're set for the 26th can we update the title of the thread? If someone wants a brew friend I can help brew for the 26th, otherwise I'll have to focus on feeding people, or bring commercially-available offerings. Should be another fun year!

Oh yeah, speaking of which, do we want a theme for food? I think last year was stuff that goes with sausage, and I forget if there was one the year before that.

I vote for the "bring your best dish/food item" theme

I changed the original post and removed the poll to avoid any confusion. The 26th is locked in.

Some pictures from a previous hoptoberfest, for those who have never been:

Oh great....

[Jayme]

Wow. haha

[Lucas]

I am bottling up my Hoptoberfest beers today! I'm also calling Cavicchis' Meats this afternoon to hopefully work out some of the details for the hops sausages. I am thinking 80 sausages will do? Does anyone think I should order more or less?

[Lucas]

Just got off the phone re: sausages. We can order as many as we like at $4.75/lb and a pound usually has about 5 sausages. We don't need to know the exact number until early in the week before the event. I haven't looked into buns yet but I think that we can probably sell the sausages at around $3-4 each and make a little bit of extra cash to go back to the club. Can't wait for Hoptoberfest!

Get T-Dogs in there!

That would be awesome.

[chalmers]

That's you volunteering to get the scoop from them, right?

$100 cart transport fee, and dogs are pre-ordered.

At standard pricing, I suspect? Which I'd imagine is $5-$8.

If we were able to get Nash to put together the spices/hops like last year, or pass along the epic recipe and someone prep it, I'd be fine with us doing our own thing.

Thoughts?

I honestly don't care what happens for food, as long as someone is looking after it

[Lucas]

I found the recipe that Nash posted and ran it by Cavicchis'. If we provide hops and beer they can do the rest.

If you're coming, or think you're coming, sign up on the spreadsheet.

Done, sorry for the delay.

Hey All,

My roommate, girlfriend and I just moved from Vancouver and would love to join you guys for this. Unfortunately, I don't have any homebrew that will be ready... is that ok? We would be happy to bring some food and a few nice bottles we picked up on the drive across if that is cool?

Absolutely! There's no requirement that you bring homebrew to attend

[KMcK]

It looks as if food is coming together nicely. Can someone locate a supply of ice? We likely need more than Staples can provide this time. Gahan supplied it last year; does anyone have a good contact there or know of another suitable place?

The musicians who came to the ASA had a good time and are willing to come back for Hoptoberfest but I think we owe them a bit more than food and beer for their performance this time. Can we give them a donation from the sausage sales or will enough people commit to donating to a tip jar to compensate them?

Last time I checked X only setup a ass cam. Is there normally live music?

No. Personally, I have no interest in a band playing. They generally play at a level that makes it difficult to carry a conversation with someone...not to mention the difference in music preference throughout the club.

[CorneliusAlphonse]

I'm not going to be there obviously but.. My thought is if people want to bring a guitar and jam that's cool, but paying or expecting donations isn't gonna work and isn't really the point of hoptoberfest.
