HBT at NHC

[Yooper]

Here's a picture of a few of us. We met pseudochef today, but he's not in the picture.

Left to Right: Edwort, OllllllO, Clayof2day, ChrisK, YooperBrew, Richbrewer.

We're meeting up with some others, so keep tuned!

 

[Yuri_Rage]

So....freaking....jealous!!!

Keep posting so I can live vicariously (through the internet?!).

 

[Yooper]

ok, so take this:

Some of us aren't visible (me, Mrs. OllllO), but here we are having drinks and dinner at BJs brewpub tonight.


Edit- the guy on the end, smiling, is someone we don't know. He was a judge for the contest, and ended up with us. His name is Paul and he's a professional brewer in Toronto.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Man, I can't wait until tomorrow.

 

[Revvy]

I hate you all!!!!!!!!

Not really I'm just jealous as all get out, if it were two weeks from now I'd be there with you...

*sigh*

Have one for me, gang!

Yooper...I've said it before...you're such a babe!!!

 

[Brewtopia]

Hey, I've met everyone in that first picture but you Yooper.

Have fun, wish I could be there.

 

[BlindLemonLars]

Hey, I've met everyone in that first picture but you Yooper.

Clearly, you're saving the best for last.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I'm drinking the last beer from my fridge while you guys are at beer Mecca.

I need to go shopping.

And I need to go to NHC next year!!!

 

[Bearcat Brewmeister]

Sorry I couldn't meet up with everyone tonight. I got up there pretty late and by the time I was able to check the keg I brought for my local club for Club Night, it was getting past 9:30 and both SWMBO and I have 10 hour days at work tomorrow. I am very happy to be employed again, but the new job is kicking my ass right now and I don't get any vacation yet (if I did, I'd be there 24/7).

Looks like I will be able to make all the social package events, as I most likely will have to work Saturday and Sunday, but not in the evenings (sorry Ed - no spare banquet ticket). Hope to see you all at Club Night.

 

[Yooper]

We had a GREAT time tonight!!!!! Lots of beer was consumed, and we laughed so hard. There are a few funny stories that I just can't share with you all. But trust me, we all laughed all night. I don't think there is a single picture of me with my mouth closed. When I wasn't talking, I was laughing. What a great time!

Left to right: RichBrewer, Clay of 2 day, Yooper, pseudochef, chrisK, mrs OlllllO, and OlllllO

And a portrait of 4 drunk moderators: (with ChrisK the wannabe)

 

[aekdbbop]

[Yooper]

OK, here's another picture from last night. That's Charlie Papazian and me, and on the right is Charlie's wife, Sandra. There is a funny story behind Charlie's pose for my camera.

Awesome picture! There's one to frame and hang on the wall. Glad to see you're all having fun.

You got to hang with Charlie!!!??!? Holy Bock that is freaking awesome! Damn I hope I get to meet him at club night tonight. I'm still in NY, but flying back home this afternoon. Can't wait to meet up with you guys.

 

[Revvy]

Charlie's got his hand on you @$$, right?

Jk...it's clear he's playing "pocket pool" while standing next to HBT's Uberbrew babe

He's become Drukken Perve Grandad of homebrewing...sheesh.

 

[Yooper]

I have ALL the pictures on photobucket. Here's the link (if anybody cares....)

[Revvy]

WHat are these? Baby bottle sized samples of Utopia???

 

[Yooper]

Haha- no, it's bourbon. Richbrewer and I went on the Bourbon Trail Distillery Tour on Wednesday, and those are small "special" bottles from the bottling line. They didn't have them for sale, or we all would have bought them, I think! That was taken at Buffalo Trace distillery. We had some nice bourban tastings then went to Woodford Reserve for a great tour and lunch, and then to a brewery after.

We're looking forward to it, too! We are having a wonderful time! I've met some other "quiet" HBT'ers who said hello and we've had a chance to visit. One really nice guy said he's been a lurker here for a long time, and reads many of the threads, even though I didn't know who he was. He said he's got some special beers for us to try for club night!

I"ve met homebrewers from Hawaii, and from Maryland, etc. Every single person I've met has been wonderful. Homebrewers are so laid back and friendly that this is one of the most fun conferences ever!

Public Service Announcement for page 11 please.lol

Well, crap! I thought I had deleted all the other pictures in that photo bucket album!!!! You all can safely ignore page 11 (and probably 12, I didn't look)

 

[Rhoobarb]

Man, I am bummed that SWMBO & I could not make it. Looks like you are all having a great time. To keep ourselves there "in spirit", we went to a big bottle store in Chicago last night and met Jim Koch. If you guys get a chance to talk to him while you're there, he's a great guy.

Keep the postings coming so we can live vicariously!

 

[olllllo]

PsuedoChef tells Justin how to produce a radio show.

You're going out to San francisco next year?

 

[EdWort]

Just to show you the crowd for the technical sessions..

And now for some beers I can't find at home in Austin. So far, so good.

 

[Professor Frink]

You're going out to San francisco next year?

Is it in San Francisco next year? I'll be able to coordinate it with a trip to San Diego if so.

 

[Brewtopia]

Great pics, keep'em coming.

Looks like you're all having an amazing time.

 

[mrkristofo]

If it's in SFO next year, I'm there. Totally there. 100% there. Sounds like a fantastic graduation present from me to myself.

Glad to see you guys are having a good time. Prost!

 

[AnonyBrew]

Ed, Old Foghorn is available at Grapevine Market in Austin.

 

[RichBrewer]

I also had the chance to meet Charlie Papazian. This photo was taken right before Yooper's.
