Beerstock 5060-5 was a resounding success this last weekend. It may have been 90+ degrees but we all kept hydrated (we did have a keg-o-water) and drank homebrew for 12 hours before wandering around camp until we found our tents and collapsed. Anyone that loves homebrew, loves to talk about homebrew, loves to sample other’s homebew and share thier own needs to attend this event.
The CDBC’s second showing at Beerstock went very well. We had a new jockey box rig and were pouring four beers (sometimes 5):
1) It’s Raining Gose: An Artisanal American Lite Gose
2) Blonde Perdition: A Westvleteren Clone
3) CDBC Saison #1: Belgian Saison
4) CDBC Saison #2: Forbidden Fruit Saison
5) Old Skool IPA: An Oaked Belgian Sour IPA
We shared our beer, sampled plenty of good homebrew, made some new friends and got ideas on how to strengthen our club. There may be some field trips to other Seattle area club’s meetings.
At some point during the evening we started blending our beer. A mix of both saisons was delicious. Things then got a little hazy. Hopefully we can convince a few more to join us next year. I’m thinking we should rent an RV…
