Remember,
if you plan on sampling a few brews, bring a designated driver. Do
not drink and drive, it is very uncool, not to mention stupid and
dangerous. Bring a couple bottles of water as well. Bring a lawn
chair, and
dress
for the weather. The event will be held rain or
shine (or snow.) You are invited to bring some homebrewed beer, wine,
cider, sake, mead or a side dish (or a commercially produced beer
that you would like share) but it is not required. The club will be
providing Bar-B-Q chicken and bratwurst. If you plan on bringing a
keg the club will have a 4 tap jockey box (ball lock) available but
that fills up fast so it would be best to have a backup plan for
serving.
