    I'm in luck. The nearest Hamm's is 80 hard driving miles away (NJ or CT), plus significant tolls. And I don't trade for ANY beer.

    I suspect it's a lot closer for me, but no matter. You couldn't pay me to drink the stuff.

    For some reason AAL consumers out here are fond of modelo and Corona. I see stacks of the stuff at every grocery store. I assume Hamms is available as well, but I've never seen it. Then again, it's not something I ever look for.

    You going? I am very likely heading there (and going to Bells of course).

    What could be more official than a banner? Not sure if I’m the one to make it a bonafide event here but I’ll gladly toast to Hamm’s come Oct. 11!

    Anyone who is willing and able should celebrate Hamm's Day on October 11th. I plan to.

    Definitely in spirit! Not sure I'll make it out mid-day for the actual festivities. Are you making it a Kalamazoo visit or a larger SW Michigan tour?

    This time just Kalamazoo. I went up through the UP and down to Green Bay this summer.

    I stumbled across this picture on my phone that I took last time we were in Spokane, where my wife grew up.
    We were staying with her friends that have a house on Libery Lake.
    As I recall, I has hoping to see the eagle I saw that was fishing that morning while I was drinking a cup of coffee.

    Enjoy a Hamm’s I just bought in West Virginia, with a bag of Guinness potato chips my wife found at the grocery store.

    Hamm's day this Saturday! Throwback pricing to 1982?

    If I get my act together for next year maybe I'll try for an official BA tasting.

    Bell’s is pouring Sideyard now. If you’re at all into fresh hop beers you’ll be in luck.

    Hamm's and a pickle. $2.50. Sign me up! Although, what's up with the 3pm ending time? The party's just getting started at 3pm. Unless they think they'll run out of Hamm's by then. :laughing:
