    I have a bunch of stuff I have not actually tried yet and would like to do a bottle share if anyone has some interesting stuff. At the moment I have:

    Bells Oracle
    Bells Two Hearted
    Westbrook/Evil Twin Mini Growler
    Sierra Nevada Estate

    And I might have tmrw CC Warmer Winter and Jai Alai

    Franch and Ceight put together an awesome bottle share at Top Hops every few months. It's usually around 40 people and it's really a fun venue with great people. Last one was in June, so I imagine there could be one coming up in the next month or two.

    Top Hops tastings are the best, but, if you are planning those beers for the next one,

    I would drink the Two Hearted, Jai Alai, and Oracle now, they won't last in good condition for a couple months. Depending on what is in the growler, i.e. something exceptional and not distro to NY, that one might be a welcomed addition to the tasting. Sierra Nevada Estate and CCB Warmer Winter probably not so much.

    I think that's fair enough - haha

    One thing though - "mini growler" is actually a bottled beer

    Alright i will check in at top hops but they didn't mention anything when I stopped by earlier this week. Regardless I would like to find something sooner than later since some of those will loose their freshness if I wait another month or two. If anyone is interested in either trading for some bottles or meeting up and doing a small bottle share let me know

    Its not really an event they advertise; they are just super accommodating and some BA's have a great relationship with them. That being said, I didnt really read what beers you had so yeah I'd just drink those soon and keep a look out for the next "This is Happening" thread from Franch, whenever that may be. Save some nice beers for it :slight_smile:

    Sounds good, I live a few blocks from top hops and was gonna bring some bells by since they were really helpful last time I was in. Looking forward to seeing some of you guys there next time they have a bottle share.
