We actually try to have a fair amount of food at ours. Hummus, veggies, chips, pretzels, meats and cheese etc.

In terms of the beer, we usually pick an choose from whatever we personally brought, kinda one-uping each other throughout the night. Makes for fun surprises.
 
Another suggestion. The "best beers" or ones you want to try the most. Drink them early. Trust me...a Fou Foune at 2am after a lot of other high gravity beers isn't near as good as it would be if it was the first of the day. Done both a couple times unfortunately.

+1 don't save the best for last.

Truth. Drink the turds last!

truth. alternately, time-box the tasting so it doesn't go until 2 AM :cross:

we typically hold our tastings from 4 to 7 pm and get all the notables done in that time period. the party goes on after 7, for those who want to keep drinking but the quality is ratcheted down a notch - there are few to no "must haves". folks with kids, lightweights, people with evening plans, etc check out at 7.
 
Brew day turned into a bit of fun! The 2 homebrew are sours that Abby brewed (4 years ago!) One was strawberry and the other cherry. They were fantastic! Wish I could have had those for myself :p but we had a fun time except I had to go to work at 8pm so we weren't able to completely empty out the fridge. Great beers, great friends and a successful brew day. Cheers!

Skeezer and Blizzard can both tell you that I found this out the hard way! Lol
 
Ridiculous bottle share which someone I had never met in real life until we got there and the only thing I had to provide was a taco dip (no beer).

Oh yeah and amazingly someone just gave me an unopened 2013 BCBS coffee variant at the end because I mentioned I've only had the regular (poor me, I know). He had brought one, but we didn't get to it, so he just gave me a bottle. I can't imagine having so much good beer that you would just give that out. And I had never met the person before. So cool!
