Saturday night we gathered out in the Doom Saloon to commemorate and celebrate the one-and-only @cavedave Friends from our annual VT beer camps, DS stout nights, a BA friend, @mltobin, as well as Dave's brother Richard. We shared stories and memories, as well as many bottles/cans, and even read some of his epic BA reviews. 21 different varieties, 30 total, which included: 2016 Super Kitty he'd gifted me years ago; 2014 HF Arthur 2022 HFAnna 2015 HF Dorothy 2012 Fantôme(another C.D. gift) Area 2 Black raspberry lambing 2023 Oude Kriek Tilquin 2020 Suarez100 ft.

CHEERS! to all of you for doing this. It still makes me smile when my FB memories show a post of his or a comment he made on one of my posts. Maybe make it an annual event, and I can swing by one year?
We'll continue to celebrate him at our annual Stout Night... I'll reach out here on BA as we get close in December. Full lineup:
No words - just infinite likes to all who participated. Great to see this kind of fellowship. Fantastic.
A great time was had by all on Saturday night at the @doomXsaloon ! And what a treat to meet his brother, who brought a cool photo of a very young Dave, for all of us to see. He shared stories with us and we all shared our fond memories of Dave.
Wow. Just realized my OP did not include a most notable BA atendee... the OG GPB, Mr. 15k, the Professor, @WillieThreebiers!? What? I blame it on the plethora of bottles, including the 17% DFH Utopia Barrel-Aged 120
