I contributed two mixed four-packs of beer to the silent auction for a not-for-profit organization's event. They decided to auction them off together and, holy moly, the winning bid was $80! I like my beer, its good, but its not $10/bottle good! I know, they were supporting the organization, etc., but wow, I hope they like it! I talked with them for a while after the event, and gave them a link to our website with info about the beers. This morning, I got an email that they tried the WPA Wheat Pale Ale and they raved about it. Whew.
I also contributed a brew day - I've cut and pasted the auction sheet below. I fudged upwards the costs of the ingredients for the beers - to help the organization justify a higher starting bid price. The winning bid for this was $100. Again, wow! I better hope their beer turns out well!
I had no expectations that people would pay $80 for 8 bottles of beer or $100 to brew with me. I'm still stunned.
Here's to low expectations!
