Masstoberfest 2018. Saturday September 22, 2018.
Jeezuz, ain't this thing ever going to die? Twelve years! Holy cow, why my wife doesn’t forbid me from doing this again is beyond me.
You guys know the drill by now. Bring your rig and brew with us. No matter how you do it, we want to see it. Extract batches, beer in a bag, all grain, di-lithium crystal warp drive powered mega-sculptures... It's all good and we want to see you doing the voodoo that you do so well.
Brewers arrive early, eaters and drinkers come later. I've decided to serve the BBQ a little later in the day so I don't have to be up all night cooking. Still, it takes a good six hours to do an all grain batch so time your arrival accordingly. I figure to have brisket, ribs and turkey ready around 3-4. Please bring samples of your brews to share with us. Not a competition, just sharing your stuff with friends. If you want to bring some food that's great, if you don't that's cool too. If you want to bring friends, that's cool too. (Assuming your friends aren't sociopaths) This started out as a party for, by and about brewers but has grown over the years to include everybody from my Mom to random strangers crashing the party as they walk down the street.
Corn hole, Horseshoes, Pin the Tail on Yeager
I'll have the Double D (Damned Drinkable) IPA of The Witches Brew fame, my Porter Square recipe and The Tallywacker American Standard on tap. If you want to bring a corney keg feel free. That being said, we're all adults here. If you have too much to drink you are welcome (and expected) to pitch a tent and spend the night. If you pass out by the bonfire I'll put a blanket over you and hide your car keys. (There, now I've covered my ass from a legal perspective.)
And then there is the Masstoberfest Cup. The most coveted prize in Home Brewing. Every year the former winners vote to decide who best reflects the spirit of the Masstoberfest. You know, back stabbing, tax evading, little old lady tripping, ne'er do wells with antisocial tendencies. You need to brew that day to be eligible, unless they take an enormous dislike to you and decide to stick it to you and vote you the winner. The only rule to winning is that you need to return the cup better than you got is.
OK, that's it. Let the bullsh!tting commence.
