    Hey, to clear up the confusion (because of my late posting) we are in fact doing our monthly bottle share this Sunday. Come by 1-4(ish) and pop some bottles with some really rad people. The share has been overwhelmingly successful in my mind and we are always looking for new faces to show up. The caliber of beer is becoming worth a drive, so you SF/South Bay/East bay people should think about making the trek!

    Especially by Caltrain, as I do -- it's only a two-block walk to G&G from the station. Really bummed that I'll probably miss my second straight share. Ah, well. There's always October.

    I might be able to make it. Still trying to figure out just when I'll be back from this wedding.

    I am hoping to make it, but what time do these tastings usually go until? Also, I wouldn't want to bring something people have already had. Would either Crooked Stave Blackberry Petite Sour or both Avery Muscat d'Amour and Avery Recoulte Sauvage (as combo) be appropriate? I'm deciding on which to bring...

    I think the last one was also from 1-4 like he mentioned. Don't worry too much about what you bring, everyone has hits and misses but everything is appreciated. All of that stuff sounds awesome, although I'd have to vote for that blackberry sour, sounds amazing.

    My participation is looking more promising. Planning to bring 2010 Darkness and Batch 1 HotD Michael. Might change it up, of course.

    I'll bring over the Petite Sour and an Elder Brett. Where should I head to when I get there?

    There should be a table set up. If not, head straight to the bar.

    So yesterday was crazier than I thought, looks like it's gonna be just water & football for me today. I'll try to make the next one though.
