I need to pick 3-4 beer styles for my brother's wedding in August!
My other brother and I will be homebrewing 150-200 bottles.
There will be about 180-200 guests, only about 100 will be drinking and most will drink moderate amounts (2-4 drinks).
There will also be 50-60 bottles of assorted homemade red wine and store bought whites and about 50 of the drinkers will probably drink nothing but wine.
Here are the 4 styles of homebrew we are thinking of doing for the event:
for the BMC drinkers:
1. Cream Ale (4.3%abv)
2. American Wheat (blue moon clone 5.5%abv)
For the more refined beer drinkers:
3. American IPA (Columbus/Cascade, 6.5%abv)
4. Belgian Tripel (9.0%abv)
Any suggestions on our choice of brews for a crowd? I already have a good recipe I've done before for the American Wheat, Tripel and IPA.
I'm still thinking there should be a few cases of BMC for those who don't like our homebrew, I'd rather they not waste it!
It's pretty exciting to think about serving up to 100 people our own homebrews! I get excited when even one friend tries one of my best brews and is amazed that I brewed that!
