Just figured I'd share that a few of us BA's plan to get together at the Beer Authority on Saturday 6/1 around noon or 1pm to share a few bottles from around the country. If you plan to head over, either post here or BM me with what you'd plan to bring. All styles are welcomed, but this time we plan to focus on sours and saisons, though BA stouts usually make a pretty strong appearance as well. Hope to see a good turn-out. Cheers!
Hopefully making it after my golf tournament with some Crooked Stave goodies and maybe a AC Golden sour. Of course my sons birth could derail that too...
Finally stopped in to the Beer Authority's new space. (I'd been to the old place a few times.) It's really nice and spacious and inviting in there. Seems like a great place for a share. Not sure I have anything too impressive to add to the share, though!

I think we need to have a little more mix-n-match next time..but tyats just me.. I'm hopeful to do it all again in a couple of weeks!
We were talking about doing barley wines towards the end of this one, so I expect that will be what we do. Now to figure out a date...
Maybe it was just all of the palette-wrecking that was going on, but there weren't any the blew my mind, but... The ones that stood out for me where: Love Child No. 2 Blend Love Coolship Red The Dissident (2008) But there were several very good ones (mostly expected): Rosé de Gambrinus Sahalie Sui Generis Belgian Red The other thing that really stood out to me was that there was no Russian River
