    Hey guys, it's about that time again. My calendar says that the next tasting is less than two weeks. Provided that they'll still have us, it'll be at Beer Revolution on Thursday, January 3rd at 6PM.

    Bring a bottle or two (try not to bring more than 2 750's equivalent of beer, unless you want to bring some home) or buy something there. Actually, buy something there anyway, a bottle or something on tap, because Beer Rev doesn't need to generously host us and we should show them we appreciate it.

    And remember, DO NOT OPEN BOTTLES YOURSELF, you MUST take them to the bar to be opened by a Beer Rev employee. This is the law. Beer Revolution doesn't have to host us, please don't make hosting hard on them in any way.

    If you have any questions just let me know!

    Also, this doesn't affect this tasting, but since the February tasting is scheduled to be on superbowl Sunday I'm considering moving it. Since the week after is beer week, the options are moving it a week forward (to Sunday, January 27th) or doing Thurs-Thurs-Sun-Sun (so we'd have Jan 3, Feb 7, Mar 3, Apr 7). I'll probably do a new thread with a poll sometime later, but wanted to let people know.

    If the Sunday regulars (all 3 of you) have opinions, feel free to chime in here or BM me.

    I'm in walking distance to all my favorite pubs. I don't know how I can leave the area! We've done a couple of pub crawls in the area. 4 years ago, it would have been a rather short crawl.

    I'm replying to you just because you seem new around here and may not really understand what this is, but it's a general post to any new people because I don't really explain it in the OP. This "event" is a bottleshare/tasting, which means everyone brings their own bottles. Beer Revolution isn't involved except as the venue (although occasionally they'll pull out bottles and join in on the fun). Anyone can join in, the only rule is to bring something or buy something there.

    On a more general note, because it's now winter it's liable to be more crowded than we're used to because no one will be outside. Also one of the big tables broke, the tall large one, so it'll be a little bit harder to be a cohesive group. As always any efforts to to get there early and snag tables will be appreciated.

    If my flight arrives on time I should be there with a couple of 32 oz growlers from Tired Hands.

    Doesn't look like I'll be able to make this one unfortunately. Thought I would be able to, but not being in the office since the 22nd means I'll be buried at work :slight_frown:

    My friend and I can bring cigar city humidor IPA, guava grove, and probably something else. Sounds OK?

    PS- don't worry, no more garlic beer...
