    Just registered. Anyone else attending?

    I'll be just coming back from IN/IL/KY and should have some pretty good stuff with me.

    Looks like their rule is that everyone has to bring AT LEAST 1 22oz bottle of something not available in Texas and not produced in the last year. You can bring more than 1, but at least 1.

    HMM... I wonder if they will make an exception for a fresh bottle of Maine Beer Co. Lunch and Zoe

    All sold out it looks like. Should be fun! I'll be bringing an assorted case from Three Floyds and probably something nice from the cellar.

    Ask on their FB page, but someone asked a similar question, and the response was "the beer can not have been sold in the last 12 months."

    Tweet and website just said 22oz not from Texas, pretty shitty if it has to be something a year old if you ask me. Also, the event is at capacity.

    I spoke with the people at Karbach about this event a few weeks ago and they said that any beer brought could not have been sold in the state of Texas within the last 12 months.

    'in the state of Texas' is the magic phrase.

    That is more like it. Lots of great beers would have been excluded otherwise...Anyway I was going to sign up for this, and there was room when I first looked. I decided to check my work schedule before committing. Less than 5 minutes later it is all booked up. Oh well, next time.

    Definitely was an "act fast" event! I'm interested to hear about how a bottle share with 60 people goes

    I'll be incredibly happy if its anything like a smaller Dark Lord Day: Meeting new people and sharing great beer.

    I've never been to a bottle share bigger than 10-15 people, so this sounds pretty cool.

    I'll be there. Thinking Russian River as my entry. Lots of inquiries on Facebook re: homebrew and rare TX beers a la Divine Reserve 12.

    I refuse to believe DR12 is rare since I have a case sitting in my pantry.
