NHC - how much beer for clubs to bring?

[beerrat]

Hi experienced NHC attendee's and hosts... how much beer does a club need to bring for something like club night or to be a hospitality suite host?

[krazykrausen]

Last year in San Diego, my club (SNAFU), brought 27 kegs. 10 were used (not all kicked, but used) on club night and the hospitality suite kicked 8 kegs. Our hospitality suite was right after club night however

I sent 4 kegs to the hospitality suite last year and they all kicked quickly.  I'm not sure how many kegs total we went through, but it was a lot.  If your hospitality suite shift is before club night, don't plan to have those beers available at club night.  Bring as much beer as possible

Bring it all!

Our club is doing both the hospitality suite and club night this year.  Our goal is 50 kegs total.  I've committed to brew 5 of them.

Do you want to win the Golden Urinal (or what ever it is called)?  That takes a LOT of beer.

This brings up a totally unrelated question I've been mulling over.

Do you have to be affiliated with a club to pour beer in the hospitality suite? Or can I just show up with a few kegs and say, here you go?

You probably won't be able to get a tap at the "official" bar, but there a people pouring their own beer all over the place.

That's what I figured. I'll probably bring just about everything I have kegged anyway (market research, right?). Have beer, will travel.

If you have beer, I will drink.

We're planning on bringing 3 or 4 and pouring on club night.

I think our club is bringing 12-20 for Hospitality Suite and Club night. I need to come up with something tasty for my contribution of 5 gallons...

If you want to serve in something like the hospitality suite or club night, even if you are unaffiliated, we can find a way to hook you up.  Anyone who wants to bring some kegs to pour should send me a PM and we'll work it out.

If you just want to walk around with a keg at random pouring beer for people, that's cool too.
