    I've been on edge waiting for my work schedule to be finalized for this week, but I'm all squared away for Saturday. Can't wait to open some brews with you guys.

    hmmm....i was about to come here and say that i might not be able to make it (trade-offs with the wife so i can go to other tastings), but if grumpy is saying i will not want to miss this...i might not want to miss this. although to my wife's point, mike always says that...but then again, mike doesn't lie.

    i'm on the maybe list for saturday...might be too much for me to get killed on saturday and need a few days to recover.

    Just went up to Peekskill Brewery yesterday. Would anyone be interested in me bringing a growler of Shotgun Willie instead of a Bligh's?

    Sadly I will also have to back out of this one. Very sick relative needs my attention. Same reason I have missed BOTH Tired Hands bottle releases. It's just beer I guess.:slight_frown:

    Anyway I will take my name and my wife's off the list and offer my apologies in that I won't be able to attend and bring the Saizon Bretta, Bourbon GBS, BA Church, etc. that I was hoping to.

    Also I can attest that this is a freaking awesome event; I got to try at least 25 terrific beers last time including some pretty whalish bottles and big time wants. Also met a lot of terrific people. Enjoy everyone. Hope I make the next round.

    Hi Tobelerone -
    Sorry to hear about the illness of your relative. My wife and I were in Philadelphia last weekend and were able to make it to Tired Hands. If anyone is interested in tasting Prunus, we were contemplating bringing a bottle to Saturday's sharing but we do have an extra bottle or two of Nebula. If you would like to try, let me know.

    I'd love to try some TH. Was going to hit them up last week but plans fell through.

    The anticipation of this is just making the work week feel that much slower. Saturday morning needs to come like tomorrow. Looking forward to the craziness!

    My work trip got pushed back and now I can make this - wish I had signed up for this sooner. For now, just an alternate.

    I'll bring both. So my final line-up is:

    BCBS Cherry Rye
    Bligh's 2012
    Silva Stout x1
    Shaggy x1
    Shotgun Willie

    So are people actually only bringing 2-3 bottles? the list makes it look like much more, don't want to be a clown who shows with way too much or way too little.
