    It's a group of people who enjoy beer, rather than some jerks who sit on a message board complaining about beer.

    this was the original one, there was another in august, per the comments. then the third one was the 'end of the world beer tasting' or something along those lines.

    Might be worthwhile to attend just to have the chance to try BA Abraxus alone.

    Due to the shenanigans at CW especially the "Anna" incident as it is now known as, Fitz has abandoned bottle shares indefinitely.

    Looks like a bunch of geeks sharing different waters in a warehouse. How'd the "Smartwater" taste, I heard its made from clouds! :grinning:

    Yes. It's a group of like 20-30 people that meet up once every 2 or so months to drink some killer beers. As far as I know, it's a standing open invite, but probably best to confirm with the guys who organize it.

    Unfortunately, it is true. He has changed a lot since the event. I've tried explaining that it was a relatively isolated incident but so far he's not buying it...

    second stonecutters reference in one week, nice. If fitz is upset at the recent rash of douchbagery in the chicago/midwest beer scene (and seriously who could blame him), we could pick up the reigns and do something on our own. Anyone know a decent venue or warehouse that's cool, with 30 folks sittin in the back drinkin and shootin the shit? I mean WLV is usually down during a friday tasting or releases, but after that dark element infiltrated zwanze day, kristina might not be cool with it. Discuss........
