Bad News

Hello club,

Our primary location for the Homebrewers Ball has been cancelled. We will not be using the Harley Davidson location on Oct 3.

Presently, the Glenwood Youth Hockey club is reeling. At this time, they are looking for a new location, and seems that they cannot use the Glenwood Rec Center either. I will learn more shortly, but now also appears they will be changing the date as well.

Keep that beer cold. I believe it is their intent to have a fundraiser and participate with the homebrew club.

This is a new experience, for them and us.

hang in there...
-Wes.

Snowmass Chili & Brew Festival: KUDOS Homebrewers!

Dear Editor:
The signature summer kick-off event, Snowmass Chili Pepper & Brew Fest, June 5-6, was a smashing success! It couldn't have been such an enjoyable, entertaining, and tremendous weekend for all without everyone's dedication, hard work and community support. It was so great to see friends, families, locals, media, and out-of-towners enjoy the frothy brews — over 100 different flavors — delicious chili — over 50 different kinds, and amazing music — the best of the best, rock on Fanny Hill! Despite the rainy weather on Friday, the die-hards still danced through the night and Saturday couldn't have been better with sunny skies and mountain music to celebrate.
We have so many individuals and groups we would like to give a huge thanks to: The Aspen Skiing Co. for all their hard work on the site-set up, the talented Alchemy sound crew, the extremely organized ticketing office, Lamas Events clean-up crew, the bar staff, the TOSV Police and Fire Department, TOSV Transportation Department, RFTA free bus service, TOSV Planning & Public Works Department, the local ticket outlets, local newspapers‚ support, our extremely talented and devoted marketing company, Promotional Concepts, the entire Mountain Groove Productions Inc., the enthusiastic and talented Town of Snowmass Village Marketing, Special Events and Group Sales team who worked together to produce an remarkable event.
The volunteers this year were better than ever and we are so appreciative of all your hard work and getting involved with a signature town event. We can't thank you enough!To all the local cooks and homebrewers who participated this year, it was so much fun to have you as part of the festival Saturday.
Cooks: We love the returnee cooks and also, the new ones every year, your chili was delicious.
Homebrewers: It's such a great component to have you involved and this year we had more participants than ever! A special thanks to the Roaring Fork HAMS Homebrewers Club for gathering your homebrew enthusiasts and your excellent display of home-brews.
The Sixth Annual Snowmass Chili Pepper & Brew Festival was a success because of each and every one of you! We had a wonderful turnout, phenomenal responses about the beer, chili, and most importantly the music, so thanks again for your efforts and contribution of time. Our biggest heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who attended the weekend, we loved seeing you enjoy yourselves in our gorgeous Rocky Mountain town!
Cheers till next year!
