    Hey guys, just wanted to know if it is kosher to talk about a weekly bottle share that is beginning this coming weekend at a bar/restaurant in the Twin Cities. Don't want to step on any toes but I do want the local craft beer community to know about it.

    Yes. 5:00 PM every Sunday night at New Bohemia in the NE. It starts this Sunday, the 6th. Standard bottle share basically. It's not being made widely known on social media so people who just bought something off the shelves don't show up. Bring a cellared, reserve, rare or non local bottle. Open share. $5 "corkage" but the $5 is a credit towards food.

    Sounds like a great idea; I hope to make it this Sunday. Is the idea to bring a large format bottle, or would a couple of 12 ounce bottles or a growler work as well?

    Anything of that nature - a bomber, two 12's or a growler would be cool. I'm hoping to bring a Pizza Port Ocean Beach growler in the next few weeks. Gotta decide whether to bring a RR sour or something else from Cali this Sunday :slight_smile:

    It was fun; 9-10 people, we opened some beers from the Lost Abbey, Russian River, Mikkeller, Olvalde. I brought a Curmudgeon's Better Half, my friend brought some Ten Fidy.. It seems like a fun bar - long communal tables, good food. I won't be able to make it every week, but I'll definitely be back.

    That's neat, I just moved from San Fran to NE Minneapolis but still go to SF on a regular basis, really pumped to find a new beer community/bottle share close to home. Will this be an ongoing thing for a while? If so, any CA requests?

    I'm pretty sure it will be going on for awhile, though I didn't go last night. Anything we can't get here, especially Russian River would always be welcomed.

    I as well am in this boat. Except I moved from here to San Francisco for college then moved back. Now I work for a startup out of San Francisco. I'll be out there again in March, hopefully my co-worker will have some Firestone Walker Parabola and Sucaba waiting for me. Currently I have a nice selection of Firestone Walker in my cellar, XIV, XV, Sucaba, 2010 and 2011 Parabola.

    I also have some Pretty Things stuff.

    Are they showing the golden globes? I need it to be silent during the ceremony, otherwise I'll shush people like I did to Dennis and the gang.
