Beer tasting on Friday April 10

[niall_]

So the best date is April 10, 8pm. List of beers here.Location is highly likely to be my place - there's my impetus to clean up. I will attempt to make my chili on the Wednesday so that it's ready and in full strength for then. And no beer in it this time. Those who want chili can arrive an hour earlier, but I'll confirm this on the day before

Sadly, I have other plans that night. Enjoy the beers without me.

Understood - at least you're less unhappy about missing those than any sakés...

[dagibbs]

Definitely.

Ok sounds good.
Probably just me - I wanted to drag the WhimsicalOne along (she had previously expressed interest, came to one of the sake tastings and liked your friends, and her beer taste runs mostly to porters/stouts) but I don't think she'll be free: another friend of ours had asked us about a girls' night out on April 10th, and I temporized until I knew what night the beer tasting was and theWhimsicalOne told her that she was already busy the 10th.

Two questions:
1) Would it be possible to make the chili "Beable friendly" by not including pork?
2) I have another friend who expressed interest because she overheard me and TheWhimsicalOne talking about the beer tasting. I don't think she knows a lot about beers to begin with, and may not be the target audience, but would it be ok to invite her?

Unfortunate about The WhimsicalOne, I enjoyed her enjoyment and learning of sakés. You can bring your other friend along, certainly! It can be an education, and the social atmosphere is not a bad one - I always hope.

My previous chili did not have pork, and I do not expect to have any in this one either - I can either skip the sausage, or find a non-pork one. Otherwise it's mainly steak, ground beef, beans and select veggies.

Thanks again for hosting! It was a very good time, and as always I learned a lot.
