Before last Saturday’s Auburn/LaMonroe game I had the pleasure of discovering the Auburn Brew Club’s tailgate. When someone pulls a wheelbarrow by you with a cooler sporting 6 beer taps, it catches your eye. The Brew Club is a group of home beer brewers in the Auburn, AL area. They meet once a month to discuss brewing tips and sample homemade brews. The group I talked to seemed to consist of several current engineering students. Which would come in handy with their elaborate tailgating setup.
Though it’s available at Dick’s Sporting Goods, their double awning tent is the first one I’ve seen of it’s kind. We were so impressed we went out and bought one on sale for $200. I’ll have a review next week.
The focal point is obviously the the six tap cooler. I think I’ve had dreams about this before.
A second cooler contains the soda kegs (a.k.a. Cornelius or Corney keg) of home brewed beer. The tubes lead to the main cooler which also contains some sort of device that cools the beer quickly.
The menu is pictured below. If I remember correctly the Saison was a Belgian White Ale that was delicious. The guys were very happy to explain the process to us and even better they offered us all the beer we wanted.

Feel free to stop by any time we set up. We plan to have 6 new beers on tap each time. We plan to set up for LSU and Georgia in the same general location.
Concerning the canopy, it is difficult to set up the 1st time, but really easy after that, so be sure to set it up at home before gameday. Second, it is difficult to get the canopy back into the bag and the bag zipped up at the end of the day. We just bought a Timber Creek? 50″x30″ duffle bag to carry it in, and there’s plenty of room for everything to fit without having to fight the canopy.
