    I'll be out in the burbs this weekend, but safe travels Dan. My family and I are moving to Denver next June! Maybe we'll try to catch up for a bottle share out in the rockies.

    Hey all, wanted to post a quick heads up, we are on for tomorrow at my place 12:00 noon start time. Anyone who would like to join, please BM me so I can give you the address and my phone number. Looking forward to a great bottle share and saying so long to some of you guys as I depart Chicago for greener pastures. No one is leaving until we finish the keg of MOA Imperial Stout FYI :rolling_eyes:

    If you all do this again I hope I can make it. Just moved here from New England and got lots of bottles to drink.

    @Canada_Dan, I wish I could have made it! Kari and I got a last minute to watch the Air and Water Show from a boat. You did some good damage though! Safe travels to Colorado and I hope to make it out there for GABF one of these years, soon...

    Next share is Saturday September 12th at Gentile's Wine Shop around noon. If I don't have your email already, message me with it so that I can get you on the e-newsletter that has the details.

    Anyone interested in a small share after work this Friday? Like 6pm-ish in the South loop?

    Hi all. Any plans for future shares? I follow this thread but the shares always seem to happen on days when I have other plans or I am out of town for work. I think the only BA in this thread I have met is Andy as we traded several months back but I'd like to attend one of these shares and meet other beer people in the area. I have a few bottles that I think would be perfect to share and some local beer buddies who I am sure I can convince to bring out some of their cellar gems.
