    Attending my first one (and bringing a few friends . . . and those friends will all have beer!)

    Wondering what kind of beer is best to bring? I want to make sure I'm not the guy bringing Barefoot Wine to a high class wine tasting (to mix analogies a bit). Any lists of past beers at bottle shares?

    Here are threads for the last 2 years- gives an idea of what people bring/what its all about. Just bring something cool, something you think people will like- some people will bring crazy rare stuff & some people will bring shelf stuff and no one gets judged either way. Its an awesome time to drink good beer.

    We're looking forward to meeting everyone at our first SS Bottle Share this Saturday.

    Any hints as to what folks are bringing, or is it usually a surprise? See you in a few days!

    Looking forward to Saturday. I'm bringing a Pizza Boy Abascio-Cell (Pinot Grigio) and a FW Stickee Monkee. Not sure what else yet. Maybe a growler? Should be a great time again

    I'm not sure yet. I'm mulling over a few things to Bring (SN Barrel Aged Narwhal, Ommegang XV, Maybe all 4 Goose Island sisters from 2013, Smuttynose Wheat Wine, maybe a growler).

    That's actually one of the reasons I asked. I'd like to try and bring something different. If there are already 3 bottles of BA Narwhal, I'll pick something else. Otherwise, I'll wing it, and we'll just have to drink it all (oh, the horrors).

    Hi guys, this event always brings me back into the BA fold! I cannot wait to see everyone! I will bring some goodies that I dig up, and YEH, I will have a heavyweight beer in the intended selection again this year.

    Another tip for first-timers: don't worry about rarity, because sometimes my favorite beers are the ones people bring that I have overlooked in my local shop when looking for "what's new" instead!!

    Anyone coming from South Jersey (Voorhees / Cherry Hill area) that would be kind enough to give me a ride?

    Alternatively, anyone have Max's contact info and could BM me? I know he's pretty close by, but he doesn't read these boards and I can't seem to find his email info.

    Thanks.
