    I vote for the Irish dry stout - foreign/exports would also be fine.

    I'm in.
    I like this idea. Several Iowa breweries are producing some excellent pilsners. It'd be a great opportunity to showcase some lesser-known examples of the style.

    I'll go with whatever the group decides (though if a sour I may drain pour), but what about AAL? The more BMC the better? Back to your roots? Remember high school (or grade school)?

    We did an AAL last year, I think August? Lotta folks, myself included, were a little surprised by Coors Banquet.

    I'm down for Irish dry stout, including foreigns/exports or local pilsners.

    Yeah, I hosted that one, although I'm sure it was earlier than that (I'm thinking May). Really great participation all around, too! I can see doing it again, but it's probably too soon at this point.

    Seems most are down with the idea of an Irish Dry Stout tasting, so let's do that,

    What day works for most? Honestly, St. Paddy's day doesn't work for me as we'll be going to a soccer match that night. Otherwise I can work in most weekends. Maybe next Saturday, 3/10?

    I could see doing it again as well, that was a fun night (except for the Bud Light...)

    Unfortunately the next two weekends are out for me, but I'm fine after that.

    I can work with the 24th. Might give people time to see if they can grab a local one.

    If we do it again it should be limited to Lite/light beers.

    So we haven't had an online tasting since the Irish Dry Stout one in March. Any interest in doing one in the next few weeks or so? And, if you are interested, what style would you like to see be the subject for the tasting?

    Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale should be out soon. It would be a great choice easy to find and inexpensive.

    I don't think we've ever just done one beer - it tends to be a style and generally one that is more obscure or less appreciated on here to allow people to explore something they might not otherwise explore. But thats an idea we could certainly consider!
    Its actually not a bad suggestion ...
    any particular styles you'd like to see?
