    I should be getting a Societe Pupil growler today and tracking says Fuzzy Baby Ducks tomorrow. I'm waiting for the okay from a local establishment in Buffalo to host the share. Thinking early evening Saturday. I'll update this tonight and confirm if this is a go.

    Buffalo wouldn't be a horrible drive for me. I may be interested if I can get an pass from the wife. Unfortunately, I don't have anything too exciting right now to bring.

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOO maybe man but I have a thing in Farmington earlier that day so I may just sit home and drink my pliny clone depending when I get home.

    I know the first time I join in bottle shares with folks I don't know, I always make sure to bring something amazing, it's a good way to establish relationships (and not make it look like you're just mooching their hard-to-find brew).

    Yeah, I for sure wouldn't want to be a mooch. I guess by exciting I mean anything out of our immediate region. I probably have the same MN stuff everyone else has.

    I live in Maple Grove and I am having a fire Saturday night. I have growler of FBD and GB from New England. Get a hold of me if the establishment you were going to have this at doesn't get back to you. I always like to meet new people and share some beer.

    A friend's daughter's birthday if that makes things better :slight_smile: heh, they've only lived there 4 years and I've never been so I figured for the 3-4 times a year they wander up my way I could at least show up once every 4 years.

    You should check out Crooked Pint on Pilot Knob on the way, usually has a couple cool things on tap...

    Here are the details. I'll go forward if I get 2-4 interested.

    3:00 Hayes Public House in Buffalo. It gets busy and they have music later, so earlier is better. It is a great place and they have a really solid IPA and a Peach Ale on nitro that I want to try.

    I'll bring a porketta from Paul's Italian Market in Eveleth. If there was a Mt. Rushmore for Minnesota meat greatness, it would be on it along with Thielen's bacon. I'll also bring some venison sticks. The Societe growler arrived today and the NEBCO Fuzzy Baby Ducks tracking numbers say tomorrow.

    Don't worry about brining anything, just drink my growlers and Hayes' offerings.

    I'll put the meat in the slow cooker tonight if I can get a few to make solid commitments.

    If I lived near buffalo I'd come just for Porchetta. Love the spicy ones from Zup's.

    Damn, wish I could make it, sounds like a ton of fun but I am heading out of town for work bright and early tomorrow. Guess I will have to settle for drinking Societe at the source tomorrow :slight_smile:

    Thielen's bacon puts all other bacon to shame!

    Cheers to you for sharing; I wish I could make it!

    Awesome advocacy Todd! I wish that I could make it tomorrow but it looks like family plans will make me a no-show. Super generous offer from a super generous guy! I look forward to future tastings sir!

    The Societe is here, but the FBD is stuck in CT.

    Thanks to @mnbuffalo for getting me out to Hayes Public House and sharing some beer. I have been meaning to get out there and now I am kicking myself for not going sooner. The Imperial IPA was great, but I could not get enough of the Hillbilly Peach Picker on nitro, it was fantastic. It was also great that Pugs let us sample a russian imperial stout he was trying, just 1 week into fermenting. It tasted really good for being so young. Can't wait to try it when it is ready. In fact, I can't wait to go back!

    It also was awesome to get to try Societe Pupil. It was great and I will now have to try to get my hands on my own growler now!

    It was great time, thanks for throwing this together. Would like to do something like this again.
