I got a question or two about if Hooch wars was happening this year at TBBQ.
Well Year 1 and 2 it was more of a last man standing event, which we kept pulling back on. It seems more and more of you would actually drink anything in abundance to the point of passing out just to win a blue ribbon. So that was a bad idea for a number of reasons.
Last year evolved into more of a taste contest with both really bad and really good concoctions. I still cant believe someone actually drank vodka, oreos, bad milk, pepper and coolaid - yuk.
So for this year, hooch wars will be there, but more of a best of breed event.
Mix of your best batch of booze, drinks, whatever and share with the group. Ive got mine planned out and hope to compete against some of the more exotic homemade stuff we saw last year. Make it taste good this year...
At worst case you could bring a six pack of your fav beverage and SHARE... at best, you could bring a nice sized cooler full of refreshing vodka,tequila or similar mix and show off your skillz.
Its all about having fun, getting the group to share in the experience and in my opinion SHARING. GIFTING IT, whatever..
As always TBBQ "powers that be" have the power, right, and such to change, eliminate or take all concoctions to themselves (as they work their asses off).
My suggestion is that you bring something your proud of, share it, buy a TBBQ T-SHirt, donate some cash, bring some roadkill to grill, help the cooks and SAY THANK YOU to the hard working TBBQ folks..
Later..
