    With 12 it's a good opportunity to crack larger size bottles (larger than 12 ozs/375 ml). I still have the Jester King I didn't open last time, so....
    Jester King Boxers Revenge b4
    Trillium Red Stonington (Wild Saison w/Raspberries)
    Bravery Bourbon Shroud
    and perhaps another

    Had a great time last time. Looking forward to meeting some new faces! Now to figure out what to bring....

    Going to try to make it after work! I told a few of my West Side buddies, but I doubt that more than one or two will make it.

    Will bring some interesting selections. Right now, I'm thinking of some beers from Tree House, Cellador, Bruery, and Jackie O's, but no final decisions made yet.

    Great meeting a bunch of you! Hit me up if you ever hit the Bay Area!

    Thanks for sharing all the great beer! A few of them were even pretty good!

    I have high standards. Also, I only got around to tasting less than half.

    It's also less about the beers and more about getting together with others.

    Thanks all for coming out! We had a great turnout and looking forward to planning the next one which would probably be the 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of May.

    Eventually I'll start bringing my own brews, once my homebrew systems are back up and running :wink:

    Had a great time Wed. Looking forward to the next one I can attend. Great to see so many people from the first share. Even better to see so many new people. Seems like we doubled the head count.

    I want to join those that have said its as much about the people as the beer. Its always fun to spend some time with other BAs.

    As for only a few beers being pretty good, I would say that is an an outlier oppinion. I've personally seen long lines of people line up for some of the beers that were in circulation. I can assure you this was not a disappointing share.

    As for having high standards, know your audience, we are all BAs, and can challenge anyone's standards.

    Finally thank you to everyone that brought bottles or cans. I enjoyed trying what you shared.

    Alright... I'm looking at either next Wednesday May 2 or the following on May 9.

    Same Bat time, same Bat channel.

    Preferences?
