Houston Regular Tasting August 12th

might make it out. not sure yet.

 

I'd love to do this, but it's my week with the kiddo. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I'd be interested in seeing if Ben at Petrol would host a BA bottle share.

 

how big are these tastings usually?

 

Anywhere from 4 to 18 people has been my experience.

 

That's a wide range! Kind of hard to know what to bring!

 

Don't worry; large-format Russian River bottles always acceptable. However, not letting me know ahead of time so I can be there: unacceptable.

 

lol

I can't even afford the small ones! I'm just getting my feet wet with sours. I also need to take a trip up north to stock up on good stuff for shares. Actually I probably don't. I have way too much already... or do I?

 

What was real fun was when we had six show up and everyone brought enough for 16, there are pictures they were bad.

 

well, in theory you should bring the same number of bottles either way... you just get less of each beer. But I may bring different beers if it's a smaller crowd than a bigger crowd.

 

I had to miss the last couple but will be there this Sunday. Looking forward to it.

 

I'm definitely in on this. Looks like my brother will be along for the ride, too. Lots of tasty things came home with us from Chicago. What to bring, what to bring...

 

Yeah but I brought a buddy who is brand new to good beer and so I brought twice as much

 

I will be there for the first two hours and am bringing a 9, 10 expedition if anyone has some other years for verticle

 

Good turnout?
