Been brewing all fall and winter and it’s time to empty my kegerator again. Please stop by for a couple of hours and see if you can find a beer you like. Bring your own lawn chair and if you have a favorite beer you want to share with others, bring some along.

As in the past please bring a (drinking buddy, or designated driver or friend, or a wife/girlfriend), lawn chair and a snack to share.

There will be Brats, Hamburgers and Hotdogs on the grill most of the day.

Plus there are some bottles I found in the refrigerator, Ole Ale, Double Alt, English Special Bitter and several I don’t remember what they are…

And most important “Drink Responsibly…..Drive Responsibly”

Don’t forget your chair!

Sounds like a great time, Don. We will definitely try to stop by for a few.
If your beer doesn't come out exactly right, call a brew-over!

Sorry I missed it this year; my wife had already made reservations for a scenic train trip at Bardstown with some of her family. I enjoyed the GHBF very much last year and hopefully things will work out next year.

I was bummed I couldn't make it. I was "snake wrangling" at the Earth Day event at Howell Wetlands. I think I need to cut back on my non-beer volunteer activities.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed it.
My DonWeiser, Turkey Smoked Porter and root-beer were drained.
My Heisler Red seemed to be a big hit with 4 of the 5 gallons gone.
I was surprised how many people liked the Bourbon Ole Ale and Winter Warmer (there's still some left for Randy).

We went through @ 70 hamburgers, 40 brats and 40 hot dogs and estimate about 100 guest came through Saturday.

The only change I plan for next year is to cut my beer selection down to about 8, which should be more manageable.

Thanks everyone for coming and spending time with us.
I Plan on the 4th GHBF for next April so keep your calender open.
