CHAOS New Year’s Dinner: Food and Beer Pairing at Moxee’s and Mad Mouse Brewing
Sunday, January 15th, 3 pm
I’m taking the pulse of the club to see if there is sufficient interest in getting together for a food-and-beer pairing dinner, to celebrate the New Year. Just to get some basic parameters, I met with Phil Zelewsky and Rob Strom at Moxee’s and Mad Mouse Brewing. They would serve us four courses each paired with a beer for a cost of about $40/person (paid individually) and we would include special glassware for the event, that you could keep as a premium. Phil (the brewer) would visit with us about each beer.
We’re looking at Sunday, January 15th at 3 pm. Members at any level can make a reservation and bring guests (adults only). We would need at least 25 people to make this work and could go up to 60.
If this is something you’d be interested in, please go to this Google doc. I’ll get back to Phil by Friday November 4th with whether there is enough interest to move ahead.
Well, I completely forgot about our monthly board meeting and membership meeting, on the 8th. So switched this to the following Sunday, January 15th. I need to promise Phil at Mad Mouse that there will be at least 25 of us in order to pull this off - so go to the RSVP sheet and let us know if you and a guest or four would like to go!

I have not had any of their beers. Are they decent?
Yes, he tends to focus on small to mid-size beers - Kolsch, California Common, APA. He'll throw an English or Belgian style in sometimes. If we give him enough time, he'll probably brew something specifically for us. He's a one-person brewery, its a small operation and they don't distribute anywhere.
The food is mostly Cajun, BBQ and smoked meat - their jambalaya is to die for.

Do you know if there will be veggie options to this dinner, Jim?

Ugh, date change will put me out! Damn!
I'm sorry, Kyle, that stinks. None of us, though, could have made it on the 8th because that's the January date for the board and membership meetings. I don't want to move it too close to Stout and Chili night, either. Maybe we can look for another date that will work for everyone for expresses their interest. We're still a little short of 25, though, so if people want to do this they need to let us know.

Oh no worries. I actually might still be able to make it after speaking with my scheduling advisors :)
We've got 23 folks who have said they would be interested in a CHAOS beer-and-food pairing dinner. We need two more folks to express their interest, if we want to move forward with this.

Hey Jim! I just noticed this event on my calendar. Is this still happening? I don't see it on our events calendar.
Jim, are we all set for Sunday?
I'm still up for it - planning on bringing a guest as well.
I'm planning on being there at 3 either way, so I'll see some or all of your for BBQ Sunday!
Hi all, sorry, but we're rescheduling this for March. Stay tuned.

The fact that I can now watch the Steelers game kind of makes this okay....
Sounds good, Jim!
Anybody else interested in meeting up for BBQ and beer anyway?
