RHBC Site Hacked – Photos Lost – Photo Gallery Re-installed

by

Update: the photo gallery has been enabled. It may look a little funny for a while, but you are able to upload any photos you wish to.

Cool

Some a-hole with too much time on their hands and a penchant for being a first class dickweed hacked the RHBC site today. I’ve managed to recover most of the items, but, I’m sad to say that ALL off our photos were deleted by this assclown.

I’m working on another solution, but for now, no photos.

If you contributed photos to the site in the past, please take a few minutes and locate them. I’ll post instructions on how to re-upload when I get things squared away.

NHC 2010 Beer for Club Night – The Eis Challange!

by

NHC 2010

Use the sign-up feature below to put your name into the hat to brew a special beer to represent the Rock Hoppers at NHC.

This year’s theme: ICE (Eis). If you can, brew a beer and Eis it following the traditions of Eisbocks and Eisbiers.

  • It doesn’t have to be a traditional Eisbock or Eisbier – it can be an EisBarleywine or EisOktoberfest. Use your imagination.
  • Eising your beer is NOT mandatory. Simply donating 5 gallons is AWESOME enough.

Please, no bottles – only kegs (we’ll be able to scrounge a keg for you if need be).

Particulars:

  • Brew your best brew as soon as possible!
  • Donate 5 gallons to be carted to Minneapolis and represent RHBC – it will consumed by the masses at NHC’s club night and in the hospitality suite.
  • Feel good about yourself.

Dear Hoppers,

Hope you take a step back today and enjoy the fruits of your labor this year. What a wonderful day to pull out some special beer and treat yourselves to some amazing beer. Pretty sure everyone  has some, so sit back, pull out the fancy glassware and revel in the warmth of tasty homebrew. I raise my glass to you all,

Happy Holidays,

Jason, Kelly, and Knuckleheads
