Disclaimer:  I'm not a beer brewer or beer drinker, although I am an
avid wine and cider maker and consumer.

We have at least a couple experienced home brewers on the list (I know
Rob is certainly one).  My old group at Compaq used to have group-brews
at Incredibrew, but I suspect something could be arranged without having
to involve a brew-on-the-premises operation like Incredibrew (not that
that's necessarily a bad thing).  Those of us in Nashua are lucky that
we have Jaspers a short walk from Martha's, where one can pick up pretty
much anything you might need for beer/wine/cider-making, including some
excellent advice from our friend Jeff who owns/operates Jaspers.  But I
think amongst people on this list we already have quite a good selection
of equipment that could be used in a brew-fest (and I can harass Rob
into finally harvesting some of those hops he's been growing for quite
some time).  Don't know where we would host such an event if not at
Incredibrew though.
