Event Description

AKL Home Brew Tasting event at No.1 Queen St Cafe & Bar -  6pm Thursday the 21st August.
Our hosts have offered to put on some free food and host the first tasting for no charge.   (Going forward I think its only fair to pay a few $ for the hosting and food, but for the first one its FREE)
Also they have a fantastic Home Brew beer swap fridge idea going on,  but its not so well known about.  Basically they have a home brew fridge where you put in 2 of your bottles and take a mixed 2 back out.   I think this is a bloody good idea, they just need a decent stock of beer to get them started.  Its also FREE to join and use the fridge.
To support them, given the food and hosting above, if everyone could bring 2 bottles to donate to the fridge (and another 2 if you want to go home with something to try)  this would get a decent base stock in the fridge.
I will post a photo of the home brew fridge up soon, its a great idea.  All they ask is you post up your recipe, reviews  on their facebook page.  I can see this thing really taking off.
Re the tasting bring a max 2 x 750ml bottles, feel free to bring less or just come along as well, BUT please RSVP on here so we have some idea of the numbers.

Looking forward to this Peter. I take it the 2 for the fridge and 2 for home could be all the same as different people would be sampling?

yes perfect the donation is to get the fridge some beer equity...    home brew crowd sourcing

What an awesome idea. Gutted cant make this one, due to other beer related commitments.

I am already working on a second venue for 2 months time, this time in a brewery , we will revisit 1 Q St as the transport links are awesome after a few beers,  and Remember you can swap beers anytime once you are a member of their home brew fridge...

Hey Pete, can we drop the bottles off during the day so they chill and settle?

Comment by Peter Smith on August 18, 2014 at 7:24pm

yeah I guess so, I was going to chill mine in work fridge but that would work as well....   I guess thats the best way...

3 people RSVPd here, is that it?

I only have 2 bottles – 1 bottle each of the 2 kegs I currently have on tap. Didn't read the bloody instructions did I so I'm 2 bottles short.

I hope there is more than 3 going. I just popped down to drop off my beers to the fridge at lunchtime and it's a mint venue. I wouldn't worry about the 2 bots Barry, you could bring more next time. Come on slackers get yourselves down to No 1 Queen.

Great first event with 8 keen Home brewers present.   Our hosts put on a great spread of food and organised a trophy for best beer of the night which went to Mark Weusten with his Brown Ale.  We are going to have these monthly on a rotating tues/wed/thurs   schedule 6-8pm  so that the night moves around and it fits with most peoples schedules.  Great night, dont forget to add a few bottles to the home brew swap fridge.  I put 2 Petes pale ales into the fridge, recipe is in CS11 forum
