Whatcha gonna brew Kevin!?

I am still on the "brew everything" program.  There are still quite a 
number of styles left that I have not brewed.  I'm thinking of....... oh 
hell, the styles left are of course the kinds of beer I DON'T LIKE MUCH, 
and right now I'm not in the mood to consider it.

Or maybe I am, a little.  It's interesting, maybe predictable, that as 
soon as I really start to study and learn about a style that I'm not so 
familiar with, and about which I say "well I don't like that one, 
particularly...."

Well, that's when I start to kind of understand and appreciate that 
style a whole lot more....  (That's why I'm doing this nutcase thing, btw.)

Also BTW I am bringing as "door prizes" some of the very interesting 
things that Robert left with us when he and John moved to FL a few weeks 
ago.  Thee are some very neat things:

Two "Devil Dancers"  (Founders)
New World Porter (Avery)
Celebration Ale 2006 (Sierra Nevada)

there is quite a bit more including some 22 oz bottles and I will try to 
send that later. 
Gotta turn in for tonight....

See ya!

PS I will be bringing equipment and brewing, and I have extra stuff -- 
kettles, burners, ...that I can bring if there are people who want to 
use it.
