Northwest suburbs kilt night?

[GrainReaper]

Alright gents, after the great time meeting Jordan I figure we need a fresh thread to set up monthly gatherings, heck.. Twice a month Might be an idea so those who might not be able to meet on one night could make the second.

What say you?

And perhaps suggestions on a host location etc?

Just tossing it out there.

I am all for it. As for a location, I will have to think about it. The last several meet ups have been very close to my house, so perhaps moving a little closer to some of the others would be fair.

@sample_m I was going to brew some beer here soon, perhaps you would like to come learn how to brew beer and drink a few while we are at it, anyone nearby who wants to learn a fine craft is welcome to attend, I might even brewcast it live on ustream.

The whole brewing process takes 5 hours start to finish, I plan on making spent grain bread, smoking some ribs or a pork butt or three... Maybe some smoked stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon.

Wow. Sounds amazing. How soon is soon? A couple of days or a couple of hrs?

It's going to be a weekend thing, I need to check my calendar to confirm a free weekend day and make sure everything is ready.

And then I need to decide what recipe to make

I'm sort of thinking of a RyePA, I love a nice hoppy IPA but I've been craving the crisp bite of rye as well so why not combine them both right??

Or maybe a different style.... Hefeweizen, oatmeal stout, ordinary bitter, wee heavy, strawberry blonde ale, chipotle spiced pumpkin ale..

I'm open for ideas, what would you like to see?
