    Maybe both? A smaller raffle with better odds tomorrow to draw people to the event, with a larger one next week? Just an idea, I don't think people would complain either way.

    The raffle tickets are only sold at the event tomorrow, correct?

    This is what I would like to donate for the raffle. One of the Sucaba is 2013, the other is 2012. KBS is 2013

    I like the idea of this, "reward" the people who come out while allowing those who can't make it a fair chance at some great beer and gear.

    Holy crap! Yeah good idea, let this thing build up and promote it like crazy everywhere. I'm gonna throw a Lawson's Maple Tripple in.

    After further consultation it would be needlessly complicated to extend this. So if you want to win these awesome beers you better show up tomorrow!

    I just got this in my Jacks Abby mailing:

    Sorry the link is not active - drawback of posting from an iPad. Maybe somebody else can hop on and make the link work...

    Basically a whole bunch of good brewers donated beer. not sure if this is tied to the previously posted item or not, but these a the details. The Tavern Framingham is the place from three to midnight tomorrow, all beer proceeds go to relief efforts. Nice to see folks pulling together so quickly in the face of an horrific occurrence.

    Look at the Buy Boston a Beer Thread and you will see where it all started - Marshall Wharf and Jacks Abby.

    Yeah....just found that. Opened my email and got stoked about it, posted before catching up on my reading, to late to delete my duplicate. The event looks awesome, there is a bigger event coming, and people are really stepping up for the raffle.

    More publicity the better I say.

    Maybe multiple baskets to raffle off? (says Dnuggs).

    Maybe a type of "Chinese auction" where people can buy tickets to put in for the items they want?

    There is another event tomorrow night, in Somerville, but I will be going to the one in Framingham

    Depending on what the Alström brothers conjure up, they might be able to have raffles at their event too.

    I absolutely love and support this idea. However, I'll be unable to attend which is quite unfortunate for me because I'd love to be apart of it. Hopefully the Boston event will be on a Friday so we can get as many more people as possible.

    Strong work by these businesses doing what they can. Their acts of support and kindness speak volumes.
