    Who here is going to this event on the 29th? Beer release/bottle share. Should be a good time.

    I'd love to, but I'll be in Decorah. Also, VERY limited supply makes it tough to think you'll get.

    There is still the price point to be announced (I think?) Which could determine if 27 people get bottles or 54. Might just have to catch it on tap. Regardless, pretty cool they are bottling something up.

    The best RISs Bill has yet brewed. Should be a great event. August 29th is the two-year anniversary for BGB; unfortunate coincidence for those already committed to attending TG that day. Also, there's a good chance there will also be at least one more limited, barrel-aged release that day (draft only).

    I'll have to see if the fiance is OK hanging around and drinking beer with people from the internet. If so I could bring a De Garde something, Ale Apothecary Carpe Diem Manana, or a Parabola or something if we're keeping it stouty.

    I am selfishly thinking I want to bring a homebrew imperial milk stout (~9% ABV), compiled from a Ten Fidy-ish recipe, to have beer enthusiasts taste and give me feedback that I can use. Maybe supplant that selfish act with a 2014 Black Note, KBS and/or Darkness. Any thoughts from the masses?

    Always up to try a homebrew, also wouldn't turn down the other beers either.

    I'm guessing this event will require lining up early!

    I'm going to try and make it from Decorah back down in time to at least try some. I'm really glad Solon is pretty much on the way home!

    I'll be there with my fiance. I'll be the tall bearded guy. I'm not sure that I'll get there super early, but I'll bring a bottle of De Garde to share. Does anyone have preferences among Saison P, saison T, spruce desay, equinox hose, and citra hose? EDIT: or I could bring a Parabola or Melange 3

    I'd ask via social media or just give them a call. Very nice people there.

    So what are everyone's thoughts on the whales? I think the hazelnut was my favorite. And what bottle(s) were you excited to try at the share? I didn't make it for the King Henry but I was glad to finally try Bolt Cutter, Exorcism at Sunset was really good and thanks to whoever brought the Flora!
