I posted the idea of bring a homebrew made specially for WCR 2011 and while back in the original WRC 2011 thread and strawman chimed in about bring one as well. We talked about it at one of the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunions and thought we might get together and brew them at the same time, kind of a 914world brew day. I belong to brewing club, Elk Grove Brewer Guild (EGBG) and we have brew nights periodically where we gather at some ones house and brew, talk and drink beer. The PNW is well know for home brewing and I thought if there were other world members that want to bring beer maybe we could coordinated a 914world brew day. We can all gather at the same place but we could gather locally on the same day.

I have only brewed ales so far and ales don't require the same aging that lagers do, so I have some time yet before I would have to start my brew for WRC 2011. If there is interested I a 914world brew day for WCR 2011 chime in and suggest a time frame. There maybe other members near you that brew and you don't know it yet. I don't have a running 914 to bring to a world event but I could bring my brewing gear to somewhere near to brew.

strawman is a brewer and is in Davis
gopack is a brewer and is in the Sacramento area
I am a brewer in the Sacramento area

So strawman and I have both committed to bring some home brew to WCR 2011 and this is kind of a challenge to other world members, in particular PNW members.

I am planning to brew an IPA for WCR 2011 but I also have a couple American Pale Ale recipes that are good. EGBG is part a home brew demonstration Sunday for Sacramento Beer Week and I may start a Double IPA that was requested for an annual camping trip a group of us do in April.
