CT Reuben/Beer tasting thing?

[davey101]

So apparently the cool thing to do in the beer community is to eat corned beef on some bread and drink walez while in a group? I know we have a few CT posters so is anyone interested in setting something up so that we can talk about Gandhi bot, females, and like football or something else manly? I've got the hook ups on some mean Rye bread and my toasting skills are unparalleled...lets do this!

[Dino1]

Still interested in doing this.

Some hot meat on a cold day with some Walezbro...

 

[averagjoe3]

I'd be interested

 

[ilovestouts]

Depending upon the time frame, if it's sometime in the Spring.... I could provide a venue and host it. Would be in the Hartford county area.
Considering I have met all of you in person, I could convince my wife the likelihood of either of us ending up in a bathtub full of ice is significantly less than say....the Craigslist casual encounters section.

 

[Dino1]

I can also host in Spring. I have a mancave to accommodate.

 

[lambandtunaphish]

Can also host in spring/summer. Full acre of yard for activities too guys!. North Haven.

Also not a problem if people need to crash, assuming they don;t mind air mattress' in said mancave.

 

[pjs234]

I would def be interested... although I don't think i have met any of you...

 

[Adam Jackson]

Dino, please count me in with the planning.

I'm afraid to 'watch' this thread because GIFs kill my internet connection but assuming you can just fill me in when plans are finalized, that would rock.

I got you Adam, don't worry.

Same here. I need an excuse to open some bottles from my cellar.

 

[gregkoko]

I got you Adam, don't worry.

Depending when it is, I'm overdue for a CT visit

What does one pair with the salty & filling Reuben ? A single hopped pale ale, like NEBCO Galaxy or something similar could work. Then when it is time for dessert, move on to barleywines ?

Everything?

Depending on the min .rarity requirement for this, I'd be interested. New to the area and would love to meet some fellow beer lovers.

With this crowd especially, I get the feeling that we're all at different levels and everyone that's graduated from BA to TalkBeer understands that. The dick-waving isn't the focus of people here and except for some tasting threads, it really is about the relationships and people you get to drink with.

I usually try to bring one really nice beer and 2-3 standard but out of distribution beers. I think the only exception to this rule is if someone brings a bottle of Sam Adams Alpine whatever-the-****, that's not cool.

I was thinking something along the lines of:

• Random Hill Farmstead Saison
• Nicer Hill Farmstead release beer (Norma, Elaborative, Damon)
• Out of Distro sour / wild ale (Upland, SARA, Russian River)
• 2 Bruery beers because I buy too many of them and please people drink my ****ing Bruery beers...I can't dome a Mocha Wednesday by myself.

I think what I'm bringing is upper-end standard of what people are expecting. Bring more or less and that's up to you. Just don't bring 40s of Cobra w/ duct tape. It ain't that kind of party...or is it?

 

[davey101]

So no to St. Ides?

 

[InfinityonTrial]

Ah well then me and my Colt 45 are out.

Btw I'll dome that MW for you.

And damn that's a ton if beer for a tasting. Don't you guys worry about palate fatigue?

I usually bring more than we can drink. I bring 6 beers, we get to 3 of them. Whatever.

 

[averagjoe3]

I was gonna bring some pbr and hot pockets damn

 

[davey101]

It's definitely more about having a fun time. I wouldn't worry about not bringing enough or something rare. There's usually way too much beer at a tasting anyways haha.

 

[Adam Jackson]

Best example of that was the bottle share during Farmhouse Festival at HFS. Holy lord sweet jesus, that was a ****ing train wreck. like 500+ bottles for 200 people? Bro whips out a 3 litre oil of Aphrodite and bros just pouring Double Black and Framboos like was a random Wednesday. My head hurt SOOO bad the next day.

It was a glorious yet terrible day for livers.

 

[tehzachatak]

Hey, this thread got resurrected!

After my liver recovers from gang bang/before my liver is assaulted by gang bang, I'm in.

 

[Brez071]

Probably due for a trip down to see the family late spring/early summer, so will keep my eyes on this thread (assuming you don't mind out-of-staters)

 

[Dicers]

I'm definitely in and Dino permitted we don't kill each other at the gangbang (insert joke here) I'd also probably take you up on mattress somewhere in the cave/garage/backyard/bathroom

 

[gregkoko]

Totally shottying some sort of air mattress/couch in the mancave. Trip to DeCicco's Brewster is also finally in order

 

[dgthrasher]

I'd be game for something like this, I have some beers I just can't crack open without sharing...

The hill farmstead bottle share, the last thing I remember is a flight of abyss, and then it was morning , just glad I made it back to my tent.
