I thought since we have a who's brewing this weekend and similar threads I would post up a thread that revolves around the "doom and gloom" of the winter solstice of 2012 aka "The end of the world/mayan calandar". We have all heard about it but is anyone actually planning any beer happenings around it?
Please feel free to post up any serious or just for fun ideas. Since we will only get 1 shot at this we may as well be ready for it! If I would have been thinking, I would have made a brew for the big "Rapture of 2011" but for whatever reason I did not...
I am planning to brew up a beer to age to be ready for "The end". It seems like an epic task but I am really leaning towards some sort of imperial brew that will be tasty on the solstice. I am leaning towards a whiskey barrel aged IIPA for the event but one that is based more on a wee heavy than a pale ale. I may not have time for a session beer...lol.
I would also like to have a brew day on that Friday. I am thinking possibly some sort of tribute to the Mayan culture? I really have not given it much thought yet. When I get my recipe worked out I will post back to this thread.
What are your thoughts plans?
