    Excellent. Sadly magerob's not able to make it, and I've gone and changed my mind as to what I want to bring. I think I'm going to bring 3 sours along - De Garde's Cornelio Nunez Porter, something from my stash of Cascade's, and hopefully a Commons Biere Royale if they are still around when I get to Portland on Friday. If not... I'm sure I'll find something down there :slight_smile:

    That is a bummer. On the plus side, I'm sure there will be more in the future! :slight_smile:

    Looks like we're on for October 26th, 3pm! :sunglasses:

    Sounds like there's 6 of us so far so still room for more. Come on out, share some awesome beers and meet the local BAs! :slight_smile:

    Hi Brad,

    I'm currently in the midst of a move from Kelowna to Calgary. It would have been a great event if I could swing a trip down to the coast and see some family and meet up however it's not in the cards right now. However.... I do make it down to Vcr probably once a quarter so if you need me to be a mule I would be happy to bring some Alberta based products down to the coast. Wild Rose / Alley Kat / Village Brewery etc. I'm upset there is no Driftwood out here in Calgary I'm really going to miss their farmhand release!

    Enjoying some Upright Brewing 'Seven' Saison right now!

    Talk soon,

    Shawn

    That's too bad you can't make it for this one Shawn. Hopefully the timing will work better next time around. Enjoy those Alberta beers and great imports. :slight_smile:

    I was humming and hawing on whether I wanted to join in the fun, and now that I've learned I actually know Lurkaholic (small world), I might be pushed over the threshold into coming!

    I don't have a whole lot of exotic beers on hand really. Some options I could bring:

    Cascade Blueberry
    Rodenbach Grand Cru
    Dogfish Noble Rot
    Uinta Birthday Suit
    Oregon Trail Bourbon Aged Porter

    Everything else is either local or staying in the cellar for now. Whadaya think?

    Sounds awesome Jason, glad you'll be joining us! Haven't tried the Birthday Suit or the Porter and the rest are great stuff. I'm sure everyone will be happy with whatever you choose to bring.
