olllllo's Brewery Open House

olllllo is having an open house on March 10 at his Phoenix brewery.
azmtnbiker and 1 other brewers will also be sharing their brew here as well.
If you chose to attend you need not feel pressure to supply any beer, however inter-brewer trades are always welcome.

PM me if you are interested.
Be prepared to answer one of SWMBO's, "How do I know he/she isn't an online freak?" questions.

I am prepared to do the same.

LMAO!
My wife was the same way when I was planning to meet up with homebrewer99. "It's not like it's myspace or anything."

You never know, someone may be posing as a homebrewer in order to take advantage of you.

My wife thinks I'm crazy for swapping beers with you poison adding freaks.

That's why he's holding it the week AFTER I'm in Arizona.

Man, oh man what a blowout.

10 tapped beverages. Fresh brats and sausage. Fire pit. Overnight temps in the 70's.

All I could do on Sunday is catch up on Season 1 Lost episodes (I watched 8).

Thanks to azmtnbiker and wild for bringing their beers.

Sounds like a great time, man. How many people turned out? Were any of them freaks?

(I'm assuming you've kept certain recent HBT "events" secret from SWMBO? )

Where was the webcam?

Glad you had fun! Did Chimpone and Desertbrew make it over?

No "bunny boilers" (orfy's words) this time. Had a great turnout of 30ish.

Chimone and DesertBrew would have had to stay in town (Several hours drive) so I wasn't expecting them. DB had something else going on and if you've been following his threads, he's had a rough couple opf brewing weeks.

I thought I was happy with the sweetness of my milk stout, but wild's Obsidian clone was awesome. It had more body and sweetness than mine.

Webcam. I would have had to have 3 or 4. The whole house and backyard were rocking.

The coolest thing was switching out the kicked Apfelwein for another keg of Apfelwein. Made it seem like a real festival.

Lotta people loved and hated me for that.

Forgot to mention that I had friends make Zwiebelkuchen, Beer Cake and Treberbrot.

The Treberbrot was made from spent grains from a Milk Stout that I made.


I'll post pics. Not sure if I took pictures of the food.

Glad your party was a success olllllo! Yea, I couldn't make it up there this weekend Dude although would have if I didn't have conflicts.

As for my bad batch of luck. The hefe just had a blow-off but is fine. And the pub ale has actually started tasting ok now Dude. WTF was wrong when it was young I have no idea. Not great but not undrinkable like it was early on. I think I rushed it for my party. Lucky I didn't dump it!

Wish I could have been there-we were actually in phoenix that day, but I didn't even bother suggesting it to SWMBO because of the "online freak" thing. Plus, we had our kids along and I wouldn't want to subject anyone to that

Sounds like it was a blast!

Good food,
good beer,
good peoples!

Thanks again Rob for the invite to a great evening.

Sweet! I wished I coulda been there. It is an awsome feeling to watch the faces of those who blew the keg when I bring a fresh chilled one out of the garage ready to go. That happy feeling pretty good face, ready for another cold one go to CRUSHED, go to feelings of elation!
