    We had a great tasting last year, going from a smaller conference room of about thirty people to being upgraded to the biggest conference room with about 75 people. We opened some great bottles and met some even greater people.

    My wife and I will be there again. Who's joining us?

    Ill be bringing some barrel aged ciders, some sours, and some west coast goodies.

    FYI when I called today they only had King rooms (a King bed and pullout couch) and suites left.

    We are staying at the Fairfield which is right next door...I'm willing to walk over and participate if there isn't enough interest to start our own.

    Last year was a good time but made for a rough morning. Hopefully they let us use the conference room again.

    As of now there are three of us staying so we will definitely be in and bringing some Michigan goodies.

    I was planning on calling ahead about the bigger conference room, I don't see it being a problem.

    Did you guys want to make a sheet that has what everyone is bringing or just be surprised? I for one like surprises.

    A whole lot of successful winging it.

    Glad to see you'll be there. I hopefully want to meet up and enjoy a beer with you. I still feel the need to thank you for the Ballet you sent almost a year ago :slight_smile:

    The blow-up doll named "Natalie" should be a dead giveaway.

    Fairfield Saturday as well. Planning on opening stuff afterwards...I think we did like 5 bottles between 3 of us last year?

    I'm sure it'll be more concrete as we get closer to DLD.

    I'm in the fairfield and would love to join this bottle share. Is there room for two more?

    There is always room for more! By 10pm we had to have had at least 75 people.

    Our group will be in the Fairfield Saturday night as well, but a couple of us are considering driving down before the rest to hit up some of this bottle sharing on Friday night. Well be rockin neon pink, team livebadass t shirts, most likely. We can even provide some ghost scorpion to match those bastards over at the Hampton :wink: Oh, and if anyone has spare floor space for a couple of fine gentlemen, it would be much appreciated...

    Looks like our group will be staying Saturday as well, guess I better pack some extra bottles. Anyone have anything special they want in growlers from Kuhnhenn?
