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!

Homebrewers Ball 2008
In partnership with Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers, the HAMS put on a great display of 15 disctinct, delicious beers this year, while RFOV filled table after table with incredible appetizers and desserts. Brewers designed beer labels for each of their creations, which we hung on the wall behind the taps, and on the taps themselves. One taste of any beer told you these homebrewers aren't fooling around. Serious beer you can't buy anywhere, times fifteen!
David Hamilton and the RFOV team of volunteers manned the entry positions, the food tables and some displays of the fine work they've been doing for 14 years, repairing, maintaining, and building many miles of trails we all love to hike or ride on. They served platters of shrimp, meat balls, desserts, and even Eileen Wysocki's famous "Nut Balls"!
For all of you who attended, our hearty thanks for your continued enthusiasm and support. We hope to see you all at our 2009 event, to be announced.

Showtime - Homebrewers Ball, Saturday Nov. 8
BREWERS!
Here’s the Drill for next Saturday (on the blog also):
4:00 pm – the Gym is ours until midnight. RFOV is supplying our tables. We move in with our taps station, two jockey boxes and Tom’s “Chaz-mobile” 4-tap station. That makes 15 taps.
Wes is coordinating CO2 tanks, manifolds. He still needs stuff, if anyone has parts to lend;
We need 3 – 4 more feed buckets or plastic trash cans for kegs on ice, and two “shallow basins” for bottled homebrew on ice.
Wes and I estimated we would need 20 twenty-pound bags of ice. RFOV will supply ice.
We need three 5-gallon Gatorade coolers for water, one per table. MT will supply two of them, anyone have a third?
We need 3 – 5-gallon buckets, one “spittoon” per table.
Ken Jones will supply six water pitchers for rinsing glasses, two per table, and bring sampling glasses (5 boxes) from the Brew Pub (these go to the guest sign-in tables).
Everyone’s keg(s) should arrive at 4:00 pm, chilled and charged. Wes and Jeremy are in charge of hooking up the kegs, they’ll coordinate help from fellow brewers.
MT will print poster-size beer labels to tape on the wall above the taps, as well as labels for shirts and for tap handles. Will need 3 helpers and a ladder (check with Eric @ Rec Center) to put up all the labels.
7:30 pm SHARP – doors open, taps ready, homebrewers help keep order around the taps, clean up spills, keep water pitchers filled, help people sign in and display “Guest Beer Labels”, manage voting by guests for “best label” and “best homebrew”, and help keep party rolling smoothly ;
9:30 pm – Announce voting closes at 10:00, introduce RFOV (if they want to announce anything);
10:00 pm – tally votes;
10:15 pm – Thanks you’s, Announce label contest winner, best homebrew winner, thank everyone for coming, announce buses;
10:30 pm – Close doors, begin cleanup (sorry we can’t come back the next day!)
12:00 – finished.
Questions? Suggestions?
