SoCal Homebrew Fest 2010

[kal_ale]

Yes! Have been spending the whole day getting ready: Kegging, bottling, baking Shakespeare Stout cupcakes...it's gonna be epic. Come around Campsite 'C' (Creekside) tomorrow evening and I'll be walking around with a Scotty of Cherry-Smoked Brown Porter/Shakespeare Stout clone blend.

Sounds dope, dude. We'll be camped out in area F - the Long Beach Homebrewers have most of the sites in that area.

I don't even know where we are this year.. somewhere out in BFE.

I finished the kegs tonight. Push helped serve as independent "evaluator" of the beers.

Spring Saison with Citra
Hop Woo IPA+ (dry hopped with Centennial)
American Pale Chocolate Oat Malt Mild
Apple Wood Smoked Boddington's Clone (aka Popo the Smokey)
Pecan Smoked Wee Heavy (aka Southern Highlander)
Tempting Midnight (Dark Belgian Wild Ale aged on Pinot Noir infused French oak)
Belgian "Cream Ale"
and..
a Sour Cherry Sparkling Tupelo Mead (this will be an on the side serve since it's such a small batch)

Those all sound crazy awesome - I can't wait to try 'em!

On deck at the Long Beach booth I'll be serving:

1) "Tovarish" imperial stout with espresso and blackstrap molasses
2) "Laurel IPA," a la west coast
3) "Belga Pacifica" Belgian-style IPA
4) "One-Ten," a saison brewed with rye, triticale, and sage honey. Two bottled versions will be present: one conditioned with the primary yeast (WLP530) and one conditioned with "Montrachet" wine yeast from Burgundy, France.

Oh yeah, I'll be in site F43, bitches!

The SLOBs are testing the effects of social networking and beer drinking at this year's SCHBF.

If you are on twitter, we'll be posting updates to the serving line up and keg changes to twitter user name @the_SLOBs during the fest. Well, at least as long as we're sober enough to do so...

Follow at will.

Great to see all of you there. I think everyone had a fantastic time. Cheers to all the participating clubs and the BN.
