    Hey all, I just moved to Oakland from DC, and I was looking to get connected to the community out here. What's the climate like for gatherings/bottle shares? It looks like there is a lot going on commercially but I was looking for something on the low key side of things.

    Bottleshares in the Bay Area are not very common. Oddly. There are a few FB groups for bay area shares. The vibe is also a bit different when it comes to shares here. Could be the lack of venues for shares, and the geography that make it difficult.

    Tuesday night beer rev is sometimes a thing. Informal, if you have something you want to share there's a good chance of others but some night no one brings anything in.

    Not a lot of venues but I know a couple other folks in Oakland who would be down to set up something regular if we can find a location.

    The food truck park, StrEat,(near the 101 overpass),is a decent location for bottle shares, as long as it's mellow. Some good grub as well. Walkable to Cellarmaker too.

    And CBS and The Willows depending on how far you're willing to walk in SF.
    I'll host a bottle share if anyone is interested pm me. Darts, Nerf hoop, and Red Rider BB gun competition included.

    Looks like we have a few people interested in something at the end of the month. I'll keep in touch and see what we can work out, would be fun.

    You SF and Oakland/Berkeley folks are lucky.
