Anybody going to this? Anyone have past experience with CABA events?

I was thinking of going just for the $50 dinner (which starts at 5:30) because the idea of hanging out all day seems like a bit much. However, you can only sign up through PayPal if you take the $60 day pass, and I'm actually too lazy to mail a cheque.

I've tasted very few homebrews though, so I'm eager for the chance to try some out.

i'm planning to attend (and i think viggo is too). no experience with past CABA events, but the gentleman who took my entries for the competition portion was quite nice. looking forward to checking it out.

What are you entering?..."A copper colored pilsner from a 200 year old recipie"?? Just raggin' ya Grub.

Will there be a large tasting? Awards?

There will be a homebrew tasting, and awards for the competition. The brewmaster for Nickelbrook will be speaking about thier green apple pilsner. There will also be a mead tasting after dinner.

If you have been to any of the Evening with a Brewer events, you know they are a great time. We will be making beer on the patio for those interested in how to make beer, whatever your level of brewing.

If you brew or just love beer you will not be dissapointed.

My cheque to CABA came back to me, apparently they're no longer at that address.

EDIT: Called the Rhino and emailed CABA, both offered to put me on the list for the dinner, and I can pay at the door. So I'll see y'all there...sounds like a good time.

Apparently Canada Post does not like us right now....

You can pay via credit card on the website through PayPal or send the cheque to me:

Drop me a line at homebrewer@sympatico.ca to let me know it is coming and I will put you on the list.

Sorry about any confusion

had a blast at the gchc on saturday. it was my first caba event and i didn't know anybody, but quickly made friends. everybody was quite nice and it was fun sharing a couple beverages and talking about brewing all day.

i entered 3 of our beers: an imperial stout, a wheat wine, and an eised smoked scotch ale. i'm quite happy to report that 2 of the three earned medals: a bronze medal in the barleywine category for the wheatwine and a gold medal in the stout category for the impy. so one of them was 'copper coloured', but not 200 years old or a pilsner

looking forward to the next one.

the full list of winners in the competition is now up: http://www.homebrewers.ca/competitions_ ... inners.php

congrads Mr. Grub
Must have been a greatly interesting tasting

Congrats Grubster, It looks like there were som very imaginative beers entered...wish there were some marketing people from OCB there to see that innovation and experimentation can be tasty

We''l have to share recipies/ideas for a super bock some day
