How much beer do you guys bring for potluck?

Now here’s a question.

Last year, I’ve never seen that amount of good beer in one place, ever in my life. This year, @smakee has extended his reign as Beer Czar and has a local distributor donating beer(s) to the HIH cause, once again. We were giving multiple 6 packs away last year as people left.

I haven’t answered your question because it’s kind of impossible to, but my recommendation is to bring “some” beer. Hope that helps.

Free beer is awesome....but I really hope @smakee can pull together more NOT IPA’S!!! Because you know...IPA’s suck! And here is an interesting read about IPA’s:

The Complete Truth About the Origins of India Pale Ale (IPA)

Because of its popularity, most craft drinkers know – or think they know – how India Pale Ale began. Trouble is, nearly no one knows the backstory of IPA.

It is true that there has been a plethora of beer. Based on the last two years I've calculated that I need to bring 3.2 beers per night. That covers the Pot Luck sharing just fine.

Any beer nerds need anything from the San Diego area? Lots of stuff here that isn't available out of the area.

I'll bring some Marble Double White again this year. I'll put it in the community beer box and then enjoy watching you fighting people for it.

I think I'll try to grab some Bellaire Brown from Shorts Brewery from the mitten state.

-Trails are opening by the day. We're confident all will be open for HIH. Portions of some trails will likely still be closed, but the trail maintenance crews are working 12+ hours a day. Getting the trails open and safe is super important to the local economy.

-There is TONS of snow still in the high country. If you've never seen 20+ feet of snow before, this could be a banner year. A lot of it will melt over the next few weeks now that our temps are up.

-It will be muddy in a lot of places, maybe very muddy. If we stop for photos or lunch, please stay on the trail. Driving on the tundra or off trail will leave big ruts in the soft ground.

-Please be super cautious when walking near any shelves along the road. (There really is no reason to get near the edge of any road, but if for whatever reason we're out of our vehicles, please be careful) The ground can give way pretty easily when it's loose. The snowmelt will have the ground really soft in most places but especially in the talus and loose gravel. Pay close attention to your dogs and talk with your kids please.

-There may be some re-routing to a few of the runs. You may hit a portion of a trail that you've already done two or three times over the week as we work around some trails or sections that are closed. This is really only for the stuff E of Hwy550. (Cali, Corkscrew, Engineer, Alpine, Gulches, Poughkeepsie) There are places near Animas where avalanches filled the valley with over 100 FEET of snow.

Don't forget to leave some room in your 100. At the very least you'll have some new shirts and swag to bring home, but you may also have a new fridge, or awning, or roof rack or something huge. The polar plunge stickers will be well-earned this year. Bring a towel. Brrr.

This is all stuff for the trails. Everything is dry and warm in town. Once we get above 10,000 feet it still looks like spring in Colorado.

Forget the beer, who is bringing bourbon?

Amen brother! I wouldn’t mind trying any kind of locally made whiskey, bourbon or whatever.

Facebook reminded today of where I was 1 year ago. I'm so ready to get back up there!

I'll have a bottle (or two) of Maker's. Also bringing a TON of Pinthouse Pizza beers and a bunch of other local Austin beers. I'm picking up a bunch of my favorite Salida, CO beers as well (SoulCraft and Elevation breweries).

Been working on that one. They are working out the details on a Double IPA for that purpose. We'll see. Going to talk with them about it when I'm up there.

I think it's time to expand my collection:
