A friend of mine here at work is throwng a party for his daughter when she graduates from college. I was asked to brew the beer for the party. He asked me to make 5 carboys of assorted beer for around 50-75 people, many of them '20 somethings' who will put away more than 1. I figured 10 gallons of a light BMC wannabe and 3 other easy drinking session beers. Most of these people are not beer geeks. I expect that most of them are BMC drinkers with the occasional Sam or Heineken drinker thrown in for good measure. I don't expect to bring anyone over to the dark side. Most of my friends and all of my family look forward to what I brew and I haven't had to modify my offerings at family gatherings or pig roasts for years, but I don't know these people so I figure that the wise course is to brew what they will drink.
Here's the catch. It's Memorial Day Weekend so I don't really have time to make a Pils or other lager that I could easily make like a BMC. And I'm not really interested in giving him any of the kegs I have down in the cellar lagering by the bulkhead door. (Too much time effort and love went into brewing my summer stock to offer it to folks who who't appreciate what they are drinking.)
I'm thinking an Amber ale, a wheat, a Kolsch and two kegs of something like BM's recent Sterling Gold. Anyone got a better idea?
