    I'll be there. First time for me - I had no idea we should bring bottles to share and trade. :slight_frown:

    Don't really have any bottles on hand, we keg. I'm already in the city today - maybe I can grab a growler of my Kolsch I have on tap. How exactly does this sharing stuff work?

    I do have a question - The Spiegelau – Beer Connoisseur Tasting, did you have to sign up extra for that? Or is it open to just social package people?

    Now that I think of it, I asked a funny question... Unless your a 1st grader that is knew to sharing toys. I think I'll figure it out.

    What I can say is that I'm pretty much already check out of work. I'm ready to go!

    I will be there tomorrow night with the ANNiHiLATED out of NewHope/Lambertville. Have a cask that has a Belgian Tripple Aged in an Apple Brandy Barrel been sitting on brett for a while. Going to be fun watching that thing pop open.

    Heh. My can got a little warm (I guess) and blew out. Soaked my bag of swag.

    A buddy in my brew club had his can explode in his book bag which contained an ipad and various other techno gadgets.

    Did round guys/aha say anything about that? I haven't heard anything out of anyone, but to be fair, the conference isn't even technically over yet.

    Round Guys / AHA - Not that I'm aware of.
    I was in one seminar on Friday (forgot which one) and the speaker did mention it / warn the attendees about it.

    That bruclear saison was very highly carbonated as well, but the belgian bottle w/ cork and cage naturally dealt with it better than those cheap ass cans the round guys brew came in.

    Yes you should. Smells like a Brett infection.

    Several guys I know had them blow in their luggage driving home.

    My wife saw one let go setting on the table at registration. Much strong language ensued by the staff.

    “Several guys I know had them blow in their luggage driving home”

    Oh boy, Round Guys didn’t do themselves any favors by giving away free ‘bad’ beer.:grimacing:

    Cheers!

    I opened up my can of Round Guys beer with the can sitting in my kitchen sink. The beer immediately foamed up. I slowly poured it into a large (20 ounce glass) but I could only pour about ½ of the can into the glass: 2/3rds foam and 1/3 beer. I eventually filled up the glass and took a few sips. My wife took a sip and stated: it tastes like a Belgian beer.

    Yup, there is definitely something wrong with this beer. After two small sips I dumped the beer.

    Cheers!

    Jack, I am not 100% on this, but I think the AHA funds the production of the commemorative beers now.

    As an AHA member can I request that the AHA obtain a refund from Round Guys for the can bombs!?!

    Cheers!

    I've heard of a dozen instances when the can exploded. If you still have yours, either wrap it in a towel before opening it or toss it against a hard surface to burst the cane. My roommate at the conference had his burst while in his baggage for the trip home.
