Anyone going to the 2018 Homebrew Con in Portland Oregon?

[shoengine]

I couldn't find the session on the schedule.

 

[Yooper]

I’m speaking at 3pm ( or 3:15) on Thursday.

I’ve been going most years since 2008, and love meeting up with people. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all.

Sooo as HBC Virgins, Shall We Assume that we can collide with enough HBT folks at Yoops presentation to maybe make some plans for meetin' up once or twice at some of the zillions of places in this town?

 

[FloppyKnockers]

Could I get in for free if I speak there? I could speak on drinking techniques - the pinky-up, red Solo cup alternatives, shotgunning, proper stein grip, etc.

We have to do that! I can't wait.

Definitely can, but your presentation content might have to be bumped up a bit. AHA is always looking for interesting subjects and presentations. Give it a shot next year.

I do need more growlers...

 

[stella_tigre]

We'll be flying in early, sightseeing, and flying back right after. Prolly not going to get any growlers to bring home, so we'll have to drink it all there! We even picked up t shirts from several Iowa breweries to wear! And one from Wisconsin....

Looking at the schedule, seeing you at 2pm now.....https://www.homebrewcon.org/seminars/ferment-this/

 

[Yooper]

Yes, but he emailed me about a week ago and asked if I'd mind changing the time. So it may or may not be 2 Pm or 3:15 PM.

I'll be there, and would love to put faces and voices to some handles and avatars. Check out the Impaling Alers booth on club night - they should be serving my Golden Gorilla (nod to Victory's Golden Monkey) Imperial Belgian Triple (15% ABV.) Was a big hit with the club.

Brew on

 

[PeteSeattle]

Who else is getting excited? I’m a week ahead of myself. I seriously thought it was this weekend.

 

[Yooper]

If anyone doesn't have my phone number, and want to call/text during the event for a meet-up, please PM me so I can give it to you!

 

[Bobby_M]

This will be my 11th year in a row, damn. It's just nice to have it be a write off now. See you all there.

 

[stella_tigre]

We're already here! Although we will be spending part of this next week on the coast, we're in Portland for a couple of days first. Back into Portland on Wednesday and plan to be at Yoop's presentation.

Edit....

 

[mwilcox]

leaving today. Looking forward to it. Got car just about packed up with kegs, bottles, and growlers for the 27 hour drive. Not looking forward to that part.
cheers--

Terrific photo. Where along the coast are you all visiting? If you get out to Cannon Beach be sure to visit Public Coast Brewing Company.

We'll be in Newport, then Manzanita. Cannon Beach is on the list, we will be happy to check out PCBC. Thanks!

Be sure to check out De Garde in Tillamook when you are heading up the coast from Newport to Manzanita.

Btw, did you happen to recognize the Lodge from somewhere else?

Welp I'm not sure I even saw the movie, but that's a fun fact, thanks!

The exterior was used for a classic horror ... The Shining!

We were down in the southern burbs to connect with friends, and "had" to kill some time in some wine tasting to avoid the rush hour traffic. Between wineries, breweries and dispenseries, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting someone who wants to sell you some really good stuff!

I am planning on going here on Tuesday evening, or Wednesday, depending on how everything goes on my travel day!

That looks amazing!

I'm going to be heading out from the Emerald City around 5AM tomorrow. Hope I can get South of the Capitol before too much traffic forms.

Ugh. So early. Was thinking of leaving around 9ish from Seattle. But, hey, I’m not the one driving in my group.

I'm used to it. That is the time I get up to commute North in the morning. Don't worry, you'll pass me as I am dozing in a rest stop.
