Darkness Day 2012... No camping out?

This is what I am confused about as well. Sounds fine as long as your tent it up after dark & down before sunrise...(?)

 

I guess I have a hug coming.

 

I'll save a big one!

 

Since Corey has so shamelessly advertised which beers he wants to steal from your cellars, how 'bout if we all list some random things we'd love to see! Optimized tasting. And I'm not talking about all the usual suspects. Here are some beers you can bring for me:
New Glarus Unplugged Berliner Weiss
Boulevard Love Child #2
Maine Lunch
New Belgium Le Terroir

 

That's not the only thing i heard you were pitching Dave. HAYOOOOO!

 

I was shamelessly advertising the circle of love that is my warm embrace. Which is much more valuable than any beer could be.

Sadly, I have none of those beers, or I would race downstairs & write "Nilllllz" on them.

 

I've been drinking BA Blackout since around 06. I've never had a sour bottle. That would suck. I can say I wouldn't let them sit more than 3, 4 years at most. Great Lakes filters their stuff so its not a beer that cellars all that well. It really oxidizes fast IMO.

What I do now is I buy my allotment and slowly drink over the coming year. I still have about a 12 pack left from this years. The last bottle I drank was on 8/14/12 (thanks Untappd!) The Four Roses barrels this year has been my favorite so far. Cheers!

 

I'll be doing the same. I've got some fresh in my fridge and they will need to be drank. PH and Nelson are probably some of the best beers i've ever had. Oh, and Exponential on tap....that too.

 

Zwanze, please.

 

I can't find the link to it anymore, but I know Tewari set up a spreadsheet last year so people could list what they were bringing (Beer and otherwise). So I created one for this year:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ahqh8B2FsNlOdFBQSzU2a3IyY0hmTGlNT2JVdWs5OVE

 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ai15cKyYxWeXdGtqOU1wZFdvMWp4MHBZUURqYjVwVUE#gid=0

Was started a while back. Is it still legit? I know its says trading, but I'm guessing if it doesn't get traded its still with you so lets crack it.

 

As far as I know that sheet is specifically for IP trades. The sheet I created is specifically for bottle sharing.

 

Yeah, that was the first sour experience I ever had with BA Blackout, & I've had plenty of bottles, some of it courtesy of you, my friend!

Though my tastes must be different. My sweet spot for BA Blackout is about two years. Every year I have one fresh & think "huh, not as good as last year" & in a year or so I'm back in love. I do agree that 3 years is the max on these bad-boys.

 

Unable to add to this spreadsheet. What's the trick?

 

Should be editable now.

 

you'll have steak?

 

I use T-bones as place holders in long lines. Once used a filet mingon to save my place when I camped out for Pearl Jam tickets.

 

I'm a big fan of this, I added my gang's info. We'll be near the front of the line, come find us and bring something tasty and we'll be happy to share!

Also, should we start a new thread just for DC's Bottle Share spreadsheet, get it some better attention? And also possibly explain that it is distinctly different from the IP trading spreadsheet.

 

IP trade link is now in this thread, see above. Lots of West Coast love landing... Woot!

 

I added the stuff I plan on bringing to share, I think that's it.
