Holiday Bottle Exchange at the December 12, 2013 Meeting

by

It’s that time of year again, time for the annual holiday bottle exchange at the December meeting! For members who have never participated before, or those who just want a reminder of the rules, it’s pretty simple: 

Step 1: Select your beer. Commercial is preferable, but homebrew is acceptable if you have solid award winning beer to choose from. Minimum value is $10 but if you want to go higher you are certainly able. Can be a single bottle or multiple bottles to reach the combined value. Basically, whatever you bring should be something that you would be excited to get. Extra value can be implied for aged or hard to get beer (ie: not available in Colorado). 

Step 2: Wrap the bottle.

Step 3: Bring the bottle to the meeting and place it on the gift table. Let me know that you are a participant and I’ll give you a number.

Step 4: Engage in the exchange. Numbers are called in order and you can select from the table or steal. Once a bottle has been stolen twice it is “safe” and cannot be taken again.

We hope many choose to participate. Good luck and happy holidays to all!

Tour Itenerary

Please plan on bringing enough cash to pay for lunch and beers. Unfortunately the club does not have the funds to cover these expenses for you.
  • 11:00 am – Leave Lone Tree Brewing
  • 12:30-2:30 pm – Fort Collins Brewery – We have reservations for all of us in the dining room for lunch.  Because of the amount of people in our group, lunch will be served from a somewhat limited menu.  This stop will feature a tour of the brewery from Head Brewer and Rock Hopper Adam Glaser.  It is also rumored that Adam may possibly join us on the bus for the rest of the day to our other stops.    
  • 2:30-4:30 pm – New Belgium Tasting Room
  • 4:30-5:30 pm – Odell Brewing Company – This is a short stop but it may possibly included a partial tour of their facilities.  They told me that it depends on if there is somebody available to walk us through it at that time.  It’s a Saturday and will be a busy time for them.
  • 5:30-7:00 pm – We will stop at a centralized location in Old Town Ft. Collins.  People will have their choice of where they want to go between Coopersmith’s, Equinox, and Pateros Creek.  You can do whatever you want as long as you are back to the bus at 7:00 pm.
  • 7:00 pm – Head back to Lone Tree Brewing. 
  • We will be back around 9:00 pm.

The 1st annual RHBC Brewery Tour will be happening on September 21, 2013.
