Tacos and Beer meetup (July 21)
Hey folks,
I've noticed the last few monthly meetings have had a drop in attendance and that's totally understandable with everyone's busy lives and all!
I've been wanting to organize a food and beer meetup (July/August) outside the monthly meetings so we can get a group of people together to hang out and sample some beverages...and eat some good food of course!
I'm happy to host and cook (I'm a taco/Mexican food addict so am happy to provide that side of things), so if people are interested or have other suggestions I'm open, I just wanted to lay it out there to the group.
Cheers!
Edit: Here is the sign-up sheet for those coming on July21st (sheet is open to anyone) - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Food and Beer meetup (July/August)
I'd be up for that, as long as I'm around.
EDIT: It is something that used to happen a few times a year, usually with great results.

I'd come just for the Mexican food, but if there's beer too I'm definitely up for it.

I was thinking of middle of July, either the weekends of 14th/15th or 21st/22nd? Are you folks around then? If so I can start a poll for dates.

Re: Tacos and Beer meetup (July/August)
Depending on the timing I'd like to make it out for a few hours. It would be good to see everyone and have a chance to share some homebrew, since we don't get to do that at Stillwell or grain splits.

Re: Tacos and Beer meetup (July/August)
I just added a poll for those who are interested.
On any other those days it would most likely be an afternoon get together.

Re: Tacos and Beer meetup (July/August)
This is right up my alley. I got a tortilla press last week and have had tacos 8 times since. Just experimenting with different tortillas and meat (sous vide beef tacos kick ass).
I'm not sure if I can make it though so I'll keep an eye on it.

Re: Tacos and Beer meetup (July/August)
Having a bit of experience with polls and trying to get people together (a.k.a. herding cats), I suggest allowing people to select all the dates they are available for. Otherwise they tend to choose the date they prefer, which doesn't necessarily lead to the date most people can come. As the host you have final say, of course.

Re: Tacos and Beer meetup (July/August)
Folks with more experience with polls can chime in, should I leave the poll/topic open till the end of the month in case anyone else wants in? That can then give me sometime to get my shit together.

Re: Tacos and Beer meetup (July/August)
That sounds reasonable. Once you have a date some sort of sign up sheet would help if you're expecting people to commit and/or bring things.wcturnedec wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 1:26 pmFolks with more experience with polls can chime in, should I leave the poll/topic open till the end of the month in case anyone else wants in?

Re: Tacos and Beer meetup (July/August)
Ok sounds good Kyle, I'll put together a sheet at the beginning of July. I'm happy to do most of the food, I'm just excited to try other Brewnoser's homebrews!KMcK wrote: ↑Tue Jun 26, 2018 9:01 amThat sounds reasonable.
