Annapolis Area Tasting Group

Would love to join, but can't claim I have any kind of stock. Would be happy to pick up something good, but probably won't be anything everyone doesn't have access to.

 

There are definitely bottles around that lots of people haven't had for various reasons.

When in doubt, bring: Mikkeller/To Ol/Evil Twin/HaandBryggeriet (basically anything that is nearly unpronounceable), sours or something that might have been in a barrel once.

p.s. State Line is your friend. Everyone in MD needs to do themselves a favor and take a trip there at least once.

 

I could host in April. I'm out of town for two weekends in March, so that might not be workable.

 

Damn, you guys already skipping over March!?

 

Not yet - it's too cold to get anything out of MN (and probably too cold to get anything into MD, at least on a consistent basis). Should have growlers of Czar Jack at some point. Don't think they'll last until April though even though they're counter-pressured filled.

 

Expensive is another route though:

 

Stateline?

 

If anyone really like obscure sours, i've got a couple tucked away for a special occasion like a tasting

 

Wine Source.

 

i'd be down for something dc metro accessible. i've been saving tart of darkness with cherries & vanilla, black note, black tuesday, event horizon, raspberry tart and noyaux for a bottle share. and i have a pseudosue that needs to be drunk asap.

 

perennial sump and big sky ivan the terrible are also on the table.

 

I edited the Google Docs and added an Availability/Hosting section to make it a bit easier to coordinate.
