    From PhillyBeerScene.com:
    "We are proud to officially announce our third collaborative bottle share with Philly Tap Finder, and this one is looking like it could be the best yet. It will be held at 1:00 on February 24th at Han Dynasty in the Old City district of Philadelphia. The format is going to remain mostly the same as the past two gatherings. Registration is required to attend and it will once again cost $15. The $15 will cover food, tax and gratuity during the event. Han Dynasty will put out an array of dishes to snack on throughout the event.
    Everyone is asked to bring at least 2 special beers to share with the group. We ask that you do not bring any homebrews and try to stay away from beers that can be regularly found at any beer store. Try to bring something that you think sounds interesting. Once you decide what you’re going to bring, send us an e-mail and we will update this page with a listing of all the beers to help make sure we dont’ get too many of the same. The only other rule will be that, once at the tasting you can only drink from bottles that are open and you can not open a bottle that is not yours. Some people bring some very special beers and we don’t want the whole thing to be drank before they even get to try it. Feel free to bring your own glass if you have a special one you prefer to drink from.
    We have the entire downstairs of Han Dynasty reserved, so we can fit up to 70 people this time, but do not wait to register as these fill up extremely quick and after 70 we won’t take anymore requests. Please RSVP to bottleshare@phillybeerscene.com. Please include full names of each registrant."

    List of what everyone is bringing so far: http://www.phillybeerscene.com/2013/02/3rd-bottle-share-with-philly-tap-finder/

    These guys really know how to set up a good share. The last few have been great, and this one is set to be epic. I know I'll be there. Anyone else going?

    Half the spots were filled in the first 5 hours (remember, with PBS and PTF, you're talking thousands of Facebook and Twitter followers).

    Also, the event is now up on the BA calendar - http://beeradvocate.com/events/info/59544

    I'll be there. Totally unsure of what to bring, however. Probably going to look like a homeless glutton wrecking the food, though, so look for the guy with crumbs on his shirt that looks like an 18 year old.

    Ask PhillyTapFinder on twitter. He'd probably know.

    Also, I'm coming but don't know what I'm bringing yet. Probably should decide.

    The event is full now - no one else is being RSVP'ed. The list is already stacked though.

    I'm bringing:

    50/50 Eclipse - Elijah Craig 12 year (xmas gift)
    Spring House Big Gruesome
    + perhaps 1 other

    Can't wait to try Fou Foune for the 1st time!

    This wil finally be the first one I am able to attend. I pretty much only been to bottle shares between close friends where once something is open anyone can have a small pour. Are these open bottle shares the same or do people have to ask permission to try something from the person that bought it.

    Nope, pretty much the same thing. If a bottle is open and on the table, go ahead and take a pour. If it isn't opened, don't open it. Sometimes you can find the person the bottle belongs to but sometimes you just miss out and that's okay.

    they didn't add my beers to the list, but for the record i'll be bringing 3-4 barrel aged evolution beers

    Yeah same here but only one was added. I am bringing the BA Old Numbskull, Arctic Panzar Wolf, and Unibroue Grande Reserve 17. Might bring some more, will decide at the last minute tomorrow.

    Glad this one is starting earlier in the day than the last few. We're going to need more than a couple of hours to get through all of these bottles.

    I'm opening the 50/50 Eclipse I'm bringing right off the bat. Been waiting forever to try an Eclipse, and I want to experience it before the eventual palate destruction of hour 2 and 3 (and 4?).

    I just checked and looks like i'll be bringing:
    Evolution 2011 Fall Migration
    Evolution 2012 Spring Migration
    Evolution Menagerie #3 Redux
    Evolution Menagerie #8

    Going to open the 2011 Fall first. I haven't had one in over a year and I want to see how it's developed. It's also the most delicate and my favorite of the Migration series (was bummed that a 2012 version never came out...)

    I'm actually looking forward to the food as much as the beer...

    Really looking forward to trying some Black Tuesday (was suppose to try it at EBF but we know what happened with that).
