We had a great tasting last year, going from a smaller conference room of about thirty people to being upgraded to the biggest conference room with about 75 people. We opened some great bottles and met some even greater people. My wife and I will be there again. Who's joining us? Ill be bringing some barrel aged ciders, some sours, and some west coast goodies.
We are staying at the Fairfield which is right next door...I'm willing to walk over and participate if there isn't enough interest to start our own.
Last year was a good time but made for a rough morning. Hopefully they let us use the conference room again.
As of now there are three of us staying so we will definitely be in and bringing some Michigan goodies. I was planning on calling ahead about the bigger conference room, I don't see it being a problem.
Did you guys want to make a sheet that has what everyone is bringing or just be surprised? I for one like surprises.
I will be in attendance and seated at my throne as usual it turns out. I will bring some beer....thinking some Vintage Zima, couple Four Loko and maybe some Mickey's Big Mouths....what say ye?
Before anyone gets riled up and threatens to whip me the above post was sarcasm. I am going with Mr. Aasher here, and of course (for those of you that don't know me already) I will have loons in one hand and mead in the other. If I can get out the door before my wife notices I will likely have a Splinter Blue also, since it is a tradition and all.
Glad to see you'll be there. I hopefully want to meet up and enjoy a beer with you. I still feel the need to thank you for the Ballet you sent almost a year ago
Shit yeah man, just look for the slightly pear shaped white guy with facial hair and a hat on. I stick out like a sore dick in a group of beer geeks, let me tell you.
Anything going on here Saturday post DLD? I'm at the Fairfield but willing to bring some good brews to share.
Fairfield Saturday as well. Planning on opening stuff afterwards...I think we did like 5 bottles between 3 of us last year? I'm sure it'll be more concrete as we get closer to DLD.
Our group will be in the Fairfield Saturday night as well, but a couple of us are considering driving down before the rest to hit up some of this bottle sharing on Friday night. Well be rockin neon pink, team livebadass t shirts, most likely. We can even provide some ghost scorpion to match those bastards over at the Hampton Oh, and if anyone has spare floor space for a couple of fine gentlemen, it would be much appreciated...
Looks like our group will be staying Saturday as well, guess I better pack some extra bottles. Anyone have anything special they want in growlers from Kuhnhenn?
I'm SO in! Can anyone bring some New Holland Pilgrims Dole for an IP trade? I get zero response in the trade forum. BM me, yo. Also, any requests from Georgia/ south east?
Someone needs to get Pizza again this year as well. The look on everyones face when those showed up last year was priceless.
How did I miss this gem? And bro you know I ball harder than a blow up. The Real Doll folks were more than happy to work off the 1,124 Natalie photos I sent them.
She isn't making the trip, conveniently she is out for cleaning and "repairs" that weekend. So no worries, just tell them we need lots of extra pillows with our room. Lots.
I remember it being mostly bearded dudes last year but I must have left before the DONGs were pulled out! What's everyone bringing? I hope no one brings those shitty loons again...
So is this an open deal? Just show up to the conference room with good beer? Me and three guys will be in from Ohio getting to DLD around 6pm looking for a fun time after the fest!
Attention Michigan, if anyone can bring some bottles of Arbor Brewing Flamboyant Wild Red Ale Vintage 2011 I will gladly trade or bring cash....thank you!
Yep, where there is beer, geeks will follow. It may be later than 6pm but someone has to be the first person there
Oh I ment I'll be at Darklord at 6pm. Probley won't be back to the hotel till 11pm. I will bring some stuff I hope pleases the masses...wondering the chances of tring King Henry or CBS that ay.
