    In talking with a small number of BA's I've actually met in person and through BM's, I've often heard we are "too spread out" in DFW to hold proper tastings/gatherings. I know there are some small groups of longtime members that frequently get together. Since I've been on BA I've been to one "big" tasting, whcih was at the Addison Flying Saucer last year. We in DFW are described as "cliquey" by people from other cities and I feel we need to do a better job of knowing our fellow advocates and the new members who seem to be joining daily.

    I could go on, but in short I've made a public map on google, https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msi...9db11e4fc33&msa=0&iwloc=0004cdae2cfcbe7ec55c4 . I encourage you all to add your "location" on this map so we can learn who is near us to further our beer experience. I personally am a big fan of smaller group tastings with those around us. It limits drive time there and most importantly driving back home. I hope this map can help accomplish that, open our eyes to who is around us and make DFW a bit less "cliquey" and more of a community.

    If you dont feel like adding yourself and you'd like to just leave the closest interestion to your home/area on here I'd be more than happy to add you to the map. I'm open to other ideas and sugestions also. :slight_smile:

    RB users are welcome to include themselves.


    Drink Up,
    -Matt

    I had no idea, lets have a tasting at your place next time. Sounds awesome but we should probably do it in the very early morning so we don't have to yell at each other over the sound of the cars.

    Cool... I'll have to invite the hobos from across the river to join us(they'll eventually migrate over anyway). They make an amazing toilet/river water homebrew. Hope you like malt liquor... I'll build a nice fire for us and no worries... we'll have to yell all night, but you'll eventually get used to the cars echoing over us...

    *Oh, and I have plenty of cardboard and newspapers... if you guys wanna crash overnight. :wink:

    I live in the Park Cities, but if you could tick me on the map, the closest landmark would be the Whole Foods off Park Lane.

    (since I'm there all the damn time for happy hour...)

    Took a bit to figure out how to do it, but I added my location. Thanks for giving me an excuse to learn how to do a collaborative map! Great idea.
