    Yea, I am completely down for an IPA tasting. I wish it were sooner than next month though since I have a fresh Alpine Nelson...

    Verticals are totally doable in my opinion, I know someone already offered up the possibility of an Abyss and/or BCBS vertical. I have a bunch of verticals going in my cellar I wouldn't mind bringing up eventually (ie...Dark lord 8yrs, Darkness 6yrs, Double Bastard 6yrs, Behemoth 5yrs, Oude Tart 3yrs, Moloko 4yrs)

    I'm sure no one would complain if you brought that Nelson on Saturday :wink:

    I am up for everything. I just like drinking good beer. IPA tastings, IMO, don't really work out beyond 5 tastings...after that, they all taste the same.

    Yeah that's what I keep hearing, never actually experienced that first hand. We could probably set up a blind tasting with 5 beers each of 5 different styles or something along those lines

    The share is almost upon us. Are there any questions that still need to be answered? I am swinging by Gentiles tonight...

    Anyone that is heading out tomorrow, there is still some FFF Behemoth and HA Navaja left on the shelf at Gentile's. It goes without saying that we all give them our patronage before, during or after the share as they are great hosts.

    On that note, Dan and I will be there a bit early to setup (whatever that means), so feel free to show up at any time you want, but the bottles will be cracked at 3pm. They open up at noon...

    I have zero recollection of anything that happened after about 6 PM, but I will go ahead and echo your sentiment as well. Good times.

    Appreciate the invite. I'm not often on these forums and would've missed this otherwise. There were some great beers and even better company.

    Billy, I think we were all by the end of the share! Yes, we put your glasses on the side at Gentile's if you want I can grab them this weekend and hold them until next time. Just let me know...

    Absolutely awesome share. I might have been a little past drunk by the time we went to 3 Aces, but overall I think it was a great first share and I am already excited for the next one. Thanks again to Dan and Flavio and Gentile's for hosting the share
