Hey Hoppers!

Hoppers Gear Up For NHC!

by

Goin Mobile at NHC 2012

The 2012 National Homebrewers Conference is begins on June 20 – and six of your fellow Hoppers will be there!

Kjell Wygant, Billy Beeson, Mark Hartley, Steve Marquez, Jim Denier, and Geoff Humphrey will representing the club.

Our theme this year is…

Goin’ Mobile

On club night, we will be serving all of our nine beers at the conference from three mobile bars (see lower right – hence the theme) specially constructed for the conference!

Goin Mobile at NHC 2012

To give our club exposure at the national level, continue our NHC traditions, and to let people know about what our club is up to at the conference we have…

A mobile-friendly mini-website (https://rhbc.co) that has links to our t-shirt design and our menu of beers available at club night and our hospitality suite shift.

Stickers (see the design at right) that have a QR code for people to scan on their mobile phones that takes them to the rhbc.co site.
