Everyone,

You may have seen that I posted to TechTalk today that there were still our
“Hoppin’ at the Rock [1]” t-shirts that we sold at NHC Club Night available
for purchase through our website. Please, DO NOT order one of them through
the site. Instead, reply to this email and bring $10 cash to the next
meeting. There are men’s M and L sizes available. No XL, sorry.

The cost to members is $10 – NOT $16 as listed.

RHBC at NHC 2009

RHBC NHC 2009 Video

The following video contains some not-so-family-oriented language and fart jokes. You have been warned!

Basic Brewing Video

RHBC Communications Director Geoff Humphrey was interviewed by the guys from Basic Brewing for their video podcast series. The segment begins at roughly 5:00 into the video. A caveat: please excuse the gratuitous use of the words “Belgian golden strong,” it was well into the night and, well, you can imagine the reason Geoff’s mouth runneth over a bit…

NHC Beer Menu

by

Here’s a snapshot of the beer menu the Rock Hoppers are going to have available for patrons of Club Night and the Hospitality Suite at NHC.

The menu itself will be 11×17 and laminated, allowing us to “check” the beers that are available from our 6 tap bar (thanks to Doug Causey for the use of a four-tap tower).
