    Well, that'll certainly be a change. Ha ha...

    Actually, considereing how stellar the tap list normally is at GG, I can only imagine what your idea of a "few decent beers" might be.

    2:00 is perfect. I can leave Tacoma a lttile before noon and get there right on time.

    Wow, no reason to do that. You usually have great beers anyway. I think 2pm would be perfect. At least for the eclipse stuff to be opened. I plan on being there a little before.

    I'll be visiting your fine city this weekend and was already planning on bringing some bottles to share so this is perfect! Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting more Portlanders.

    So my brother has the unfortunate task of being behind the bar during the share. If 2 or 3 people are willing to each 'donate' a bottle (doesn't have to be anything off the charts) for him having to watch everyone gluttonize themselves with primo beer all afternoon I would greatly appreciate it and will happily compensate you. Please message me if you have any interest.

    Cheers,
    Brendan

    Way too young. You need to sit on that bad boy for a couple more years to really bring out the best in that beer.

    Hi all, I'll be driving down from seattle tonight and I'll try to attend. I'll bring the cinnamon coffee Bbomb (cinnabomb) from fremont that was just released today, as well as a jester king bottle (non-snorkel :stuck_out_tongue:).

    In the sake of keeping the 'crowd' control intact, I ask that we keep the share to those who have already entered their names on the spreadsheet and/or contacted me privately.

    I'll section off the right half of the store for the share. Let's try to keep things separated to that area as much as possible.

    A big thanks to everyone that came out to the share today- was a great time! Appreciate @Phobicsquirrel and @Raimalise for hosting (and for providing some outstanding brews), as well as @TaborTime for letting us use his space. Already looking forward to the next time we can all get together. Cheers!

    That was a terrific event. It's always good to put more names and BA handles to familiar faces, and I added a few more to my list last night. The quality and quantity of bottles was pretty absurd.

    Many thanks to @Phobicsquirrel and @Raimalise for putting the event together and being so generous with their Eclipse bottles.

    Special thanks to @TaborTime and all the folks at Growler Guys Portland for being such great hosts.

    A tip of the hat to @Sixpoint and Adrian for their contributions to the evening. Welcome to Portland, gents.

    Finally, a shout to @maltmaster420 for his Eclipse Grand Cuvée.

    Pretty hard to pick a favorite... there was SO MUCH great beer. The bottle of pappy eclipse phobicsquirrel opened really stood out, but at least for me, the various barrel aged, coffee variations speedways Chris brought were probably the best beers I tried.

    but it's hard to pick out one beer over another... there were sooooo many great beers last night. Many thanks to Brendan and his staff for hosting this event!

    Thank you all for coming out...I am so glad that @TaborTime and Growler Guys staff were so receptive to @Phobicsquirrel and I heart to share our eclipse variety. Its beer community at its finest... each person brought some outstanding brews. Happy Holidays everyone ....looking forward to the next big share.
