Baltibrew met this past Thursday at Alewife and discussed a wide variety of things. Mainly Chilibrew IV, which went over like gangbusters! But we also got into discussing our plans for the Guild Holiday Party. As mentioned last year, the event is tons of fun, and ALWAYS sells out quickly. We want to ensure that we have a very big presence at the event so make sure you get on purchasing your tickets as soon as we send out the notification that tickets are on sale.
The theme for the party is “TV Dinner,” so basically comfort foods from the 1950s, not necessarily actual TV dinner items like Salisbury Steak, etc.
As it went last year, there will be a club hour, and this year we can pick any theme we want, but it has to be tightly produced. The beer has to be consistent with the theme, as do the appetizers, etc.
We’ve come up with a few ideas, but we would like you to vote on them. We NEED you to comment when you vote on which theme you like with supporting ideas for each theme. Let’s do our best to win this year’s club hour competition with the most interesting, and cohesive theme. This poll will close in a week, and we’ll RE-vote on the top two theme ideas that are best supported with your own ideas for them.
First, MINUTES!
Then the poll.
What should our Guild Holiday Party theme be?
- Haight Ashbury/Summer of Love (45%, 5 Votes)
- Nightmare Before Christmas (45%, 5 Votes)
- Willy Wonka & Chocolate Factory (9%, 1 Votes)
- Apple Store (0%, 0 Votes)
Total Voters: 11


Haight Ashbury/Summer of Love:
Beer – California Common – I can cold ferment 10 gallons easily
Food – brownies with hop leaves, salad AKA greens, stuffed rice paper rolled like doobies, something with mushrooms – maybe chopped mushroom in a warm dip served on crackers
Decorations – tie-dyed everything, flowers, peace symbols, posters/pickets promoting peace, not war
Costumes – more tie-dyed, afros, hippie sunglasses
I should probably add that if the California Common isn’t doable, we could do a West Coast ale.
Nightmare Before Xmas, or Black Metal Xmas:
Skeleton makeup, dark beers, scary stuff on the tables, Nightmare before Xmas on the TV?
