Presenting Homebrewing at Festivals
dbeechum:
Here's a great topic for us to explore, that I have no good answers for - how do we (as homebrewers/clubs) effectivel promote the hobby in a festival scene where we're not allowed to pour beer. An obvious answer is to brew, but even that might be dodgy for some folks.
How else can you guys think of?
I ask for the very selfish reason of I've signed up the falcons to do a booth at the LA Beer Week Festival and I still don't have a good way to tackle it.
dbeechum:
One thought that had occurred to me the obvious - do a grain and hop display.
Here's another one - get LME, make an LME dipper out of it, let folks taste the LME - off of breadsticks or pretzels or something.

that would be interesting except, at least to me, LME tastes kinda nasty. I don't know what they do to ovaltine but it is not the same. Grain and hop display is a good idea. Brew day at the festival might be kind of cool if you were already interested in homebrewing, which given that it is a beer festival seems likely. If youhad a couple of systems so you could have a batch is several stages of completion that would be better. then you could pull the cooking show trick, Mash in, turn around and sparge and start the boil. as long as you don't pitch yeast I don't see how anyone could have a problem with that.

As long as you don't put the yeast in it, it's just soup!
