I'll be a judge at TAP NY 2014!

[Pumpkinman]

TAP New York - New York's Largest Craft Beer Festival, Around 100 breweries will be invited for 2014, representing well over 300 individual beers!

It's actually marketed as a Craft Beer and Fine Food festival, I've agreed to judge all three rounds over the course of 2 days.

This should be fun!

Well done Tom! I didn't realize I was getting brew advice from a Pro!

Way to go Tom. Now be sure to spit! Yeah right, like that's necessary for beers!

I guess that you have a point, I'd better leave the 45 home.

 

[LoveTheWine]

Nice work Tom. Sounds like a fun time!

Tom, I remember awhile back seeing a recipe for pumpkin ale where you fermented the beer in an actual pumpkin. Think of the size batch you could brew in 1 of your pumpkins!!!!!!! Congrats on being a judge!

 

[Pumpkinman]

Wade, Lmao! I read that same thread, or a similar thread, I guess that the bigger issue was the pumpkin slowly fermenting from the inside as well as the beer...LOL...that would be a mess and a half!

 

[Wade E]

Check out this 1! Imagine the size manifold youd have to make!!! LOL
