    Does anyone know of or host any bottle shares in the LA area? I've never attended a bottle share but they seem like a good bit of fun. I can definitely contribute some good shit that I've received in trades. Drinking good beer with good people is what I'm looking for.

    We had a couple really good ones at Beer Belly not too long ago that I know @Earlycsquid was organizing that were a blast. I looked forward to going to them ... Possibly starting these up again?!?

    i've been tempted to try and start an East Side one (Silver Lake area-ish) but my schedule is very unpredictable so it's hard for me to make plans. also, i've never done one so don't know what i'm doing

    With the world cup scheduling and my own schedule being a bit backed up, I haven't put one together for a while, but plans are under way for another bottle share in the weeks to come.

    One thing we were stuck on is if we should have it on Saturdays instead of Sundays during the day. I mean, it's not like we really go hard, but people were suggesting needing recovery time.

    Thoughts?

    I'm good either way. Earlycsquid, did you pay for some food for everyone at the last big one? I feel like I owe you some $ for fried twinkies or something.

    I live in sherman oaks and work in downtown la.

    If and when you put one together let me know I'd love to attend. I don't care what day I'll just need to clear it with the wife.

    @Earlycsquid Really depends on the specific Saturday or Sunday. Though I'd probably prefer Sunday because a) Not worried about "recovery time" necessarily -- as you alluded to, and b) As a college football fan, Saturdays are pretty sacred in my book once/if we get into September.

    Have a few brews coming my way in the next few weeks that are worth sharing. If timing works out, would love to bring.

    George (Sportstsar) was the one that bought a round of desserts for the group. He's cool like that.

    For the most part, any money you feel indebted to is better suited put into the venue. I always feel a bit guilty using their space, so I suggest and schedule it around the time when you'd be eating something anyway so that ordering from Beer Belly's great menu is just nature of a choice.

    "If we get into September"?! I really hope you don't have apocalyptic knowledge that you're not sharing with the rest of us. On topic, I think it'd be really fun to meet up for monthly or bi-monthly bottle shares. Looking forward to when this gets going.
