OVHA Chat

Mesker Park Zoo & Botanical Gardens is having their 3rd annual fundraiser, Zoo Brew, Saturday June 9, 2012 7pm-10pm. OVHA supports this event by serving samples of our homemade craft beers to the public.
If you want to help in this event we need volunteers that have beer they want to be used for the sampling, volunteers for serving (need volunteer servers permit or full bartenders license), volunteers to set up, tear down, support workers during event for ice running, talking/educating public on homebrewing.
If your interested please post beer and/or what you can help with.
Set up will begin at the Zoo at 5pm. Loading equipment will be at Turoni's by 4:30.
If anyone has a truck, or trailer to help move the carts will be appreciated.

I'll be there
I have the English Brown from Big Brew, some IPA and the Honey Hef.
If we get hard up for beers I still have the Bad Red!

I will be there with a black IPA.

I can bring my truck to help load if needed.

I will be there. I will meet at Turonis with my truck at 4:30 for loading.

I'll be there, coming back from Indy that day, so I don't think I'll make the load-up at Turoni's. I'll have an Irish Red (what's left of it) and an IPA that I brewed last weekend, if it's any good!

I have to work till 5pm but can be at the Zoo by 6pm, Elizabeth and I will bring our "South of the Border Porter" and probably "Marilyn Monroe, Honey Blonde".

I can't make it this year, we have a wedding to attend. I have the American Brown that I brewed at the big brew though. I just need a keg to put it in. Can you help me out, John? Maybe we could keg it up this weekend and you could get it carbed and ready by Zoo Brew day.

Let me know.

I can help you out with that Don. I haven't had the time to do my normal brewing, and have lots if empty, clean, sanitized kegs ready to go. At my current rate of consumption vs rate of beer production, I'll soon have space in one of my kegerators.

John, do any of those have a Norrick tag on them? I think it was left from Tap & Cork.

I don't have any one else's kegs. If I remember right, left over kegs went to Turoni's.

Abby and I will be there, I will bring a keg of something, probaby some left over English Strong Ale, Maybe some cream ale, no pepper this time though

If all goes well....

Belgian Pale, done
Coffee Stout, done
Brown Porter, done
ESB, needs kegged
Amarillo Amber, needs kegged
Watermelon Wheat, needs kegged

I plan on attending with my wife but won't be participating. However I am brewing an IPA tonight that I will donate to the cause...that is if you guys still can handle the lone pin lock in a sea of ball locks.

Is there a flyer for the Zoo Brew?

My wife and I will try to make it out around 5pm for setup. I'll bring a keg of witbier.
