    Nice, I was at Cascade in Portland last week and sure enough the Sang Noir had just run out. Keeps eluding me... Have you had that Schell Gose? It's sorta weird, real earthy but good

    Have not. Got it as an extra in a trade and figured it would be a good light beer for Saturday

    I have a bunch of de Garde, Jester Kind and Wicked Weed that I will be brining along with some HF. About 24 bottles in total, so we will have to meet up at some point!

    Having a vehicle as a home base would be nice, but I don't want to deal with the hassle. Just bringing what can fit in my backpack and hands.

    Hey all, anyone grab any extra glassware from DLD and willing to trade or sell for cash? Let me know and we can figure something out!

    Also, how does the 23rd of May looks for everyone for our next bottle share?
