So the wife and I have been thinking about having a somewhat official but intimate beer tasting sometime in October/November. Nothing too crazy, we would probably invite about 20 people. Alot of the people that would come like my beer but arent exactly beer snobs.
I figure the idea is to have between 10-15 different beers. I have been brewing as much as I can and have been bottling off 6-12 beers of each batch I've made. Then I would probably also brew up a low alcohol blonde or cream ale that can be the permanent staple beer. I'd like to have a large variety of styles, but am also interested in slight modifications to a particular batch. Something like 3-4 different types of dry hops in growlers from an IPA. I may even try to build a randall for the event.
Has anyone else held similar 'events'? Any tips or ideas? How about good food pairing ideas (something that is simple to make/serve so we can focus on the brew)?
