    I'll be punishing my liver at Strong Ale Fest. Might hit up a taproom or taste some brews at my house later in the weekend, though.

    Nice. Yeah, that one's a no-go for me, but word has it that it's one of the best events around. I think me and my wife are doing Renegade this evening and maybe hit up something like Dad & Dude's or the B&B on Saturday. They've got Release the Hounds right now. My wife is a huge Berliner Weiss fan, so something tells me we'll crack open a bottle of the Crabtree at some point in the weekend.

    I've been collecting some BVs as my girlfriend loves them, too. I'll shoot you a message and let you know what we end up doing. My guess is that I'll be letting the liver rest tomorrow!

    Unfortunately, I'll be out of town that Saturday, but I would love to be included in future events. Is there a specific page I can check periodically?

    I just figured I'd throw this one together to get things rolling, but I think it might be a good idea to just make a new thread for each additional meet up anyone proposes. That way we don't have to wade through a 40-page thread every time. Maybe just scan the Mountain forum once a week and see what's going on.

    Wish I could make it, but I'll be out of town... maybe next time.

    Oh and thanks for putting this together. It sounds like a barrel of monkeys

    son of a bee hive. Co-worker is heading to FLA and I have to work that evening. Bonus: he's picking up some Cigar City goodies!

    How late do you think y'all will hang out? I may get free by 10

    10PM? Yeah, I think barring any weird issues we'll still be around by then. Tell you what - just shoot me a note and I'll give you the situation.

    I think Strange will be in the cards next. Lots of people seem to be fans and they're really close to Renegade, Breckenridge BBQ, and the Rackhouse, too.
    I'm thinking of heading over there tomorrow afternoon to do some "research" if anyone else isn't doing anything.

    Hey guys... New to BA. Heading to Denver in mid April. Any advice on where to get the best stuff? Bringing an empty 12 pack carrier to bring stuff home with me. Open to suggestions. Coming in for work from Monday thru a Friday (16 thru 20th April)

    I know it's not the purpose of this post, but I recommended Shrode21 post here. Let's show this BA some Denver love!!

    Not a problem. Shrode21 - you think you'll have a car? The best stores in the area are all in the 'burbs, although I guess it depends on where you'll be at for work.
    Anyway, all of these are on BeerFly, so you should be able to find 'em pretty easily:
    South end of town: Lukas and Davidson's
    East: Chambers Wine & Liquor
    Central: Argonaut, Joy, Mr. B's
    West: Mile High Wine and Spirits, Applejack, Tipsy's
    North: Total Beverage

    Alright folks - the weekend is nearly upon us. For anyone that didn't see the initial postings, there will be an informal meet-up at Wit's End and Pints Pub tomorrow (the 24th) night. Everyone is welcome, so come out and support some local breweries and have a good time. Bring a friend or significant other, too. Right now there are roughly 7-8 people and a few maybes, so it certainly won't be a mob.
    If it seems like there will be more than a dozen of us I'll give Pint's a call, otherwise I'd imagine we should just be able to show up. Scott at Wit's End knows we're coming, so no fears there.

    Post any questions here - otherwise I'll see everyone tomorrow!

    Just checking in, Dom...after the EPIC tasting Friday, figured this one needed to get resurrected. Are you all still coordinating after the first one?
