It feels like we hear of a new microbrewery opening almost every week, so with all the new brews at our fingertips, we started to wonder how we were ever going to try them all. Enter the brew tasting party. We’ve found that hosting a beer tasting party is a great reason to have friends over and sample several types of beers at once. And, hey! what would a brew tasting party be without beer flight paddles?  Below is a step-by-step tutorial on how to make the ones we used at our Brew on the Roof Party. With just a few simple materials, you can whip these up in a matter of hours, and throw a beer flight gathering of your own! Materials List One 6′ long, 2×4 wood railing or stud cut into five, 13″ long pieces. We used a WeatherShield Plus Handrail from Home Depot and had them do the cutting for us.

And a warm fire on a chilly fall night. These were the elements that inspired our  ‘Brew on the Roof’ party that we hosted earlier this month. Here’s how it worked: We invited a bunch of friends up on our rooftop for beer flights and asked them to bring a batch of their latest home brew or simply their favorite brewski to share. We strung bistro lights, pulled out the fire pit from our wedding and loaded the rooftop with fall flora and candles to set the ambiance. Instead of purchasing several beer flight paddles, (which would have been quite expensive) we made our own! As the week unfolds, I’ll post the flight paddle step-by-step tutorial along with a few others as part of my Brew Party Series.
