intermixing celebration and ranger to start, saving hop dish for when I want really some tasty stuff.

Submitting my whole inventory for consumption during the yearly gathering of the extended family. I will then begin replacing it with fresher stuff. I have a few bottles each of 8 or 9 beers, mostly different styles.

+1. Everything's in the cooler with an inventory on a whiteboard hanging nearby. It gets messed up, so it's adjusted each morning. Cheers!

I've got a mix of porters, IPAs and sour ales. Breakfast,lunch and dinner.

No IPA's in Costa Rica so my rotation the last week was Bavaria Dark, Imperial, and Pilsen. Beer is extra good when it's 95 every day.
I had a home brew IPA when I got home last night and I'm excited to go to the beer store and restock on some IPA.

Despite the crowd, I probably gained inventory. The guests brought more beer than they consumed. The bash did result in my inventory having a different makeup, though. I see a benefit in that I will be trying some beers that I would not have bought and I will be out of my comfort zone.
As I have said many times on this board, "variety is the spice of life."
