    Three Floyds
    Revolution
    Goose Island
    Half Acre
    Dryhop
    Haymarket
    Sprecher
    MKE
    Two Brothers

    Sounds like a Craigslist ad.

    This should be a new category, Beer Personals. SMBNWM seeking SBNWC. Enjoy long walks around mash tuns, awkward car rides, and sharing beer flights.

    It didn't help that he used the phrase "I would kill..." In the post either.

    I could see carpooling to a release, but this is just weird.

    Seriously? Is this any different from IP trades, looking bottle share participants, getting a tasting group going, or the "Hey, I'm in town for X days, anyone want to meet up?" threads?

    Dude does't want to drink alone.

    Yes. There's purpose to all of those. There's no purpose here besides, "I have no friends and no car. Take me places."

    you guys aren't exploring the possibility that this is some test from a demented willy wonka type trying to find a genuine fella amongst the cynical, average BA member. The first person who said yes may have been granted ownership of an amazing cellar and the keys to the most amazing brewery in the world.

    There's no earthly way of knowing, which direction this thread is going

    You could get to know the people who you drink with at your local brewpub or craft bar. Making friends the traditional way should work for you.
