The "Official" Hill Country Ride Thread *May29-Jun2*

Just a heads up.
I would bring a little of your fav. label beer as well. It IS a long weekend and I still don't know how much I am bringing. Most of it is still fermenting, and most of it is not standard fair. There is a Pale Ale conditioning but I expect that to go pretty fast when we come in hot and sweaty off a ride.
There is no lager, since we haven't quite started that. By next time I should be lagering.

Also, someone mentioned not liking "hoppy" stuff. FYI. Due to my own current preferences and the hop shortage, nothing I am bringing is very hoppy. (I am considering dry hopping the Pale Ale though)


On the grub deal.
I failed to notice last time since I did a one day deal, does the big cabin(hangout) have an open grilling setup?

Of course we'll grab more beer! 

[Duc L'Smart]

I'll have room in the pickemup for a coolor or 2...
Happy to carry down foodage, liquid refreshments, or whatever's needed

Food & Beverage is now the topic for the weekend.

I think we have beverages are covered by our very own Jason aka MurDuc    Although we'll probably need a few bottles of the non-alchol variety as well

Do we want to cook out like we did last time?  *cough*David*cough*

I'm assuming the usual BBQ fare and a few vegan friendly things for Patrick should be on the menu.

I'm not sure if Swanny is going to be able to hook us up again with food last time, but here's hoping  

Were looking at 3 nights of cooking or traveling to a nearby town for some local grub.

I have a couple of cases of ribs....which do you guys prefer....imported Danish ribs or midwest domestic ones?  I have some Dos XX beer battered fish fillets if you guys want some of those as well.  I will try to round up some shrimp and other goodies too.

Who signed up to bring an extra cooler or two? For to put kegs in. For to be iced.
I know somebody raised their hand. Bryant was that you.

DOH!
I was gonna make up a couple gal of malt vinegar for a big fish fry. Just hadn't got around to it.
Or planning a big fish fry either.

Plenty O' Time left to plan. Speak up, watcha need?

[MurDuc]

I need to get off my ass. 




But seriously.
I need to delve into the unknown.
I need to reach a final verdict I have never made before. That a batch cannot be saved.
Then I need to turn it into some yummy malt vinegar.

But it wouldn't be ready in time for this run.

I do have a turkey fryer that used to be my brew kettle, so if we ever did want to do a fish fry we could.
Speaking of which. I have a turkey fryer... 
Or a big gumbo/chili pot. What ever you need it to be.

I think I can squeeze a cooler in the truck bed.

I think we need 2 for the kegs, 2 for the food and probably 1 more for extra beverages

[MurDuc]

Aught to be some more local area peeps that could squeeze in an empty cooler. I am going to be running low on room myself. And I only have to bring me. You guys making long the long treks are really gonna be pressed for space.

[LYD]

I have a 2 large coolers I can bring, plus I am bringing the Tahoe, so I should have plenty of space.  Just need to ensure I have room for Rum and pepsi in the cooler!    So if we need to bring something SPEAK THE F UP!

Awesome! I didn't get near enough Duvel last time.     Luckily Jason came in the nick of time to save our parched throats. 

[LYD]

I think I have a couple of shiner bocks left and maybe a half small keg of that hinney stuff??

[Duc L'Smart]

Hey, Svoloch, cancel the Sport Chock.... I think we'll have enough coolers in the truck bed to keep the bikes upright

'Twas me.  I can bring two coolers.  I'm also in a Tahoe, so I have room to bring some extra items.  Except for weed.
