I didn't see a thread for this, so I figured I'd start one to see if anyone planned on doing this. Where are people staying and does anyone plan on sharing some bottles at any point on Saturday? Myself, my gf and two buddies are staying at the Seaport hotel attached to the venue, and doing the Sat. afternoon session. I planned on bringing a few bottles, just wanted to see if people were interested or already had plans for one. Let me know.
0 answers, so I figured no one was interested. I hadnt really thought anything out yet, but I will bring some bottles and we can figure it out.
Staying with a pretty big group at the Boston Park Plaza. I'd consider it, though I usually can't function for hours after the EBF!
This will be the third year I go to EBF, and the other two times, I was in no way in any sort of shape to be drinking heavily afterwards. Meaning I was barely able to stand afterwards. Good luck to you.
Please remember that you can't bring beer into the Fest (for either trading purposes or for a bottle share after). So anyone planning on a meet up/bottle share/trade should drop the beer at the bottle share location/hotel/whatever before the Fest. But I really don't think you'll be wanting any more beer after one Fest session. You know, because of palate fatigue.
I'm in a somewhat unique situation, I'm moving in a few weeks and I don't especially want to move ALL my beers. I can't host a bunch of people(I could host say, 4 of you). I'm volunteering Saturday night, so really we'd be looking at Sunday here. I could break out some solid stuff and you could bring a few things. I'm in East Boston(off the blue line, or a short water taxi ride across the harbor and you can see the airport from my apartment). Let me know if anyone is interested. I do have an up to date trade list, not a ton of the sought after NE beers but there's stuff. Plus other things that are not on the list that I would open for a tasting. BM me if you're interested. I have a Bruery Bois, a 13 Sucuba, 13 Parabola, some westy 12, ba framminghammer coffee and vanilla. Various others. We could have fun with it.
Cool thanks for the share. Not sure if we will be around much on Sunday, but I will BM you if we can our plans. If not, enjoy!
