    Anyone up for anything post-Zwanze?

    I'm interested in sharing some bottles after the Zwanze event. I'll have some beers from SC/NC.

    I can never see how people can bottle share after an event like Zwane, DLD, Fobab, but I always see people suggesting it. How much can you drink? I usually am thinking about giving up beer for good after these events.

    I'm 25, might as well take advantage of the last 15 years that my liver works a damn.

    I didn't score a ticket to Zwanze, so I'll be fresh and ready to drink.

    @5EKF was there any traction about a share today? I wont be at Zwanze either, but I would be willing to host a small group of folks tonight. I live near Lawrence and Western, about 2 blocks from the Rockwell Brown Line, easy all-night access to the 81 bus and, from there, the Red Line.

    Only caveat is I will be at a Steppenwolf show until ~6, so would need to start no earlier than 730 or so. This is last minute, but I got snacks, TV for college football, and there's delivery options nearby. Maybe 1 or 2 bottles per person. Wasnt thinking of whales or anything - to give an idea of the "rarity," personally I'd like to crack my Alewerks Cafe Royale and Triple C BB Chocolate Pretzel Stout. But I've got rarer stuff if so inclined. If anyone's interested, let me know, I can shoot an address and details via PM.

    Hey @StoutItOutLoud, unfortunately no but I am definitely up for pretty much anything. I used to live in that area so I know it pretty well. Let me know if you get something together. Thanks for offering to host!

    No replies yet, so I'm going to pass on tonight . . . probably for the best, since most people will be in Zwanze / GI recovery mode tonight. I'll schedule something soon, with more notice. Cheers!

    Bump.

    Is there any interest in a bottle share in two Saturdays (2.6.16) in the Lincoln Square area, close to the Rockwell Brown Line stop? I was thinking an "alternative barrel" theme (i.e., other than bourbon barrels). Off the top of my head, I got a wine-barrel beer, a cognac-barrel beer, and a rum-barrel beer I need to open. Would be early afternoon, 3 or so, I'm thinking. Reply here or by PM. Cheers!

    I'm off of the Irving Park brown line and absolutely in if I'm not working that night. Should have a few wine barrel aged sours to bring.

    Let me look in my cellar. I'm sure I have at least a few things to share.

    I'm in Lakeview and have too much stuff and need to share. Would love to get in on something on the north side.

    Hopefully this will not be a one-time thing, so there will be other chances.
    Great, when I zero in on the details, you'll know about it!
