Big Strange Brew NB 2012

It's that time of year again! :spilly: Time to start dreaming of June. Big Strange Brew 2012 will be held June 15-17 in Kars New Brunswick at Camp Pascobac.

What is Big Strange Brew?
The Big Strange New Brunswick Brew is a celebration of all-grain brewing and associated activities such as grilling, BBQing, bread making, smoking, pickling, coffee roasting, and whatever else pops into your head when you read that sentence. We get together several times a year across the country in small private events, and so far the NB event is the rocking-est by several orders of magnitude. It is traditionally held on the 2nd weekend of June. We brew beer, drink beer, talk about beer and brewing, barbeque and/or deep fry a bunch of meat, and sit around a bonfire at the end of it all, telling lies and ranting. We also endeavor to be a family friendly event, and our current site, Camp Pascobac, has plenty of activities to interest non-brewers as well. So bring your family, and friends!

This year you are required to pay $50 in advance by April 15th, or the price increases to $65.
Keep in mind we have to fund over $2000 to have this event. We are not rich. We need cash up-front to do it.

Let's go for a record number of brewers this year! We can accommodate electric systems, or propane.
Please read the sign-up sheet, and sign your asses up!
Can't wait to see you all in NB!

I'll be working in town for the summer (finally confirmed). I'm definitely in, now just debating asking my parents to float the $50 or paying the $65 myself when my paycheques start arriving...

Gonna miss it again this year. :x

The closing date on our house is the 18th so we'll be busy all weekend. Oh well. Maybe I'll have a big party at my new place later in the summer :headbang:

Does anyone who's going need a ride? I still have plenty of room and can pick people up anywhere between Halifax and the site.

I'm going to miss this. My mom planned her yearly visit out east over that weekend and she really wants to see PEI. I tried selling her on the idea but I could tell she was disappointed, so its off to PEI for me. Hey, I owe her my life what can I say. Have a blast guys!
