This is a summer sip

Welcome to the Summer Sip

Beer Book Club will return with the Summer Sip. This one is totally happening for realsies! Let me know if you can make it so I can get a head count.

What is Beer Book Club (BBC)?

This is a great opportunity to hang out with friends, taste some beer, and enjoy yourself. It’s a semi-guided, pot luck beer tasting where we all learn a thing or two about a thing or two! Here’s how it works.

• You bring some beer that fits the theme

  • How much beer? Enough to share with the group…6ish generally does it, but if it’s something nice and comes in a 4 pack, that’s fine. If it’s something that comes in a 22oz bottle, that’s cool too (maybe consider 2). If it’s something exquisite that comes in a single 11.2 oz bottle, that’s fine as long as I get to taste some 😊. Remember, sharing is caring!

• Everyone brings beer in this theme and we try to try them all

• I’ll provide some snacks, but if you’re in the mood for anything specific, bring it!

• I’ll have a tasting notebook, feel free to bring/start yours

• I’ll provide some beer tasting notes, we’ll all pretend these are super insightful

The theme: Summer Sip

This BBC theme is Summer Sip. Bring a beer that reminds you of summer. If you had a beer that was ‘Sandals’ themed, that’s summer too! You can bring a beer named after someone named Summer, you can bring a beer that has “Summer” in the name, you can bring 6 different beers that spell out “S.U.M.M.E.R,” you can even bring a beer that reminds you of winter (but is from FL where it’s always summer). Get creative with it.

Only rule: please nothing from beer sales. Second ‘only rule:’ bring what you like and, when in doubt, make up an excuse as to why it fits the theme.

Here are some Summer Beers to get you inspired

Beer Alexander

Internationally awarded beers from the North of Israel. If you can find one of these here, you win the night!

Florida Cracker

One of the better witbiers you can find this side of the pond. Doesn’t hurt that it comes from one of the crazier states this side of any pond. Watch out for the fabled FLORIDA MAN though…I hear he’s crazy…

Ping Pong Hopped Cider

Wait, this isn’t a beer!! No worries, it’s yummy and close enough. And there’s hops in there, so really, who can tell 🤷‍♂️

It's a Chair!

And also 4 beers! Is this the answer to ‘summer’ that we’ve all been looking for? Sure! Bring beer made by one of the members of the band “The Four Seasons” and just tell us this was the summer season, it’s all good!

Didn't we see this at the top?

Yeah we did, but it’s a good picture and it’s summery enough.

The logistics

This event will be hosted at my (new to me) apartment, address in the event details. Street parking is fine, but limited. Uber/carpool may be the way to go, especially if you want to drink beverages. Apartment is shoes off.

Got any more questions, just ask!
