    Yes unless something pops up/someone seriously objects 3:30 it is.

    I have been talking with Jaimie and she said anytime is fine. I know that in the past she asked us to be done earlier but this time she said we could hang til around close if we wanted to.

    We should all buy a beer or two (or more!) from their fantastic selection as a thank-you.

    I only have to work until 2 surprisingly, so I should be able to make it.

    I'll be there. Sucaba and homebrew IPA plus small card table and 4 folding chairs. I may bring a surprise beer as well. And I'll try and buy something if I can. I hope :stuck_out_tongue:

    You're more than welcome to come. I think it goes without saying that any of those would be welcome. Fwiw I would love to have some Rye on Rye (my favorite Boulevard offering to date). Saison Brett would be very welcome too.

    I'm also curious about The Tide and its Takers... is that just an Alaskan saying or something? It's also the name of a 36 Crazyfists album (metal group from AK).

    Sounds good!
    The Tide & Its Takers is a Tripel aged in Chardonnay barrels from Anchorage Brewing in AK, so it must be a tribute to that album(?). I will bring one or 2 of the ones you mentioned!

    So I was supposed to attend a tasting last night but wasn't able to make it. I was going to bring something special to that, but I think I'll share it with you guys! I'll keep it a secret :wink:.

    I'll bring the Swamp Head/Cigar City Roosevelt and this mystery beer. Plus maybe another one (just in case).

    Last night, eh? Way to make us feel left out! J/k

    Anyways, mystery beer is always fun... bring it on.

    haha, I would have loved to get a bunch of BAs there but it wasn't not really my place to invite others to it.

    I'm not entirely certain what I'll bring tomorrow. Maybe you guys can help me narrow it down? I'm thinking 1 22oz and maybe 1-2 12oz bottles.

    2011 Abyss
    2011 Parabola
    2012 KBS
    2011 BCBS
    New Glarus Cherry Stout
    Zombie Dust
    Half Acre Daisy Cutter

    Thoughts?

    Small chance that my noob-self and noob brother-in-law might be able to attend. Never been to anything like this... All I would have to contribute are 2 bottles of Pliny the Elder that are only a couple weeks old, and/or the most recent bottle releases from Jackie O's (Baklava Braggot, Kentucky Monk, Vanilla Bean Rum Barrel Dark Apparition), and/or Founders Better Half. If we were able to make it, would any of this be enough to participate?

    I personally would love to try the Parabola and either Abyss or BCBS! Just my $0.02

    Jackie O's and 750ml Founders are always welcome, trust me. But honestly, bring whatever you want! This is about getting together and drinking good beer, not a bunch of people trying to outdo one another in terms of rare beers.

    Any of those are great options. I for one loved Parabola last year and would love to have it again. That said, I have never had Daisy Cutter and only had about 1oz of ZD before so those I think I would be equally happy to see. Anything New Glarus is always tasty too, so yeah, just bring whatever.

    I missed out on the last round of Jackie O's beers so any of those sound good to me. I doubt anyone would object to Pliny either though, so as stated above, just bring whatever, it's all good.

    I haven't attended a BA event like this before but would like to stop by. Was just in Asheville and picked up some NC beers I could bring (e.g., Olde Hickory Daniel Boone). I also picked up Terrapin's Anniversary Ale and Phlux Capacitor, if anyone is interested. I could also bring other beers, if those don't intrigue the group.

    BCBS and Zombie Dust ftw.

    I'm bringing the beers I said I was, plus a mystery beer. The only hints I'll give is it's from Michigan, and it's a very, very odd (yet quite tasty) beer.

    How about putting up an avatar next? Huh? Huh? Think you can be all lazy b/c you're a cop?!?

    Ohh, btw, everyone freak out b/c Brad here is a cop. He'll bust us all for public intoxication and serving beer without a liquor license if we show up tomorrow... so, yeah...

    Edit - before someone goes apeshit... I'll add this: :wink:
