    There is another crew that does them from time to time but they dont post on here much anymore. Plus a few of us from Bayview share beers just about every weekend.

    LET US UNITE THE CLANS!

    Dave, I'm on the SW side of Milwaukee (practically Greenfield) so I'd be up for random shares whenever.

    I've hosted a couple times for Jim Donahue's group (new patio this past summer) but I'm always willing to travel if someone has an in somewhere else.

    Cheers!

    So long as someone has a venue they're willing to offer up, I'm more than happy to put the thing together and coordinate. Sounds like there are a number of individual smaller groups that have their own weekly rituals that may be served to have a larger monthly ritual to diversify their pool a bit. @Vinithing - shoot me a note if you're serious about hosting and we will get something together for between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

    Where were these guys four years ago when BA was cool and our tasting group actually enjoyed drinking beer together?

    I travel to Menomonee Falls periodically and would love to join in when I can. I regularly host bottle shares in Schaumburg and often coordinate them in other cities when traveling. Always looking for a reason to open and share the good stuff with cool people.

    @JLWalker20 , will you use this thread to announce dates and locations for future shares?

    Once we get back to the warmer months, I'd be willing to host. We have a patio with a poured in fire pit to sit around and share beers and tell our tales of craft beer. But in the meantime, I'd be willing to travel around to wherever and share some good brews with you folks!

    I'm going to get a small share set up for a Monday night in January (12th or 19th most likely) at Draft & Vessel. He'll still be open, but an after work share from 6-8 is probably the best time in that space. Anyone who is interested shoot me a BM and we'll get the ball rolling.

    I've heard about a group in the racine area that meets in downtown Racine once a month, I heard some of the beers being drank are very good.

    @robear Invite me to that share in Bay View if you want. Anyone else, I'm on the border of Greendale/Franklin and right by Three Cellars. I'm often interested in sharing good beer or trading stuff.

    Alright, @Vinithing has graciously offered to host at an empty restaurant sometime next week. We are going to shoot for Friday. If you are interested in this or any future such bottle shares, I put together a Facebook group and will cross-post in this thread. I'll fill it out with more info later today/tomorrow.

    I'd be interested in getting involved in a bottle share or two during the warmer months if there's room. I'd for sure host it if people wouldn't mind driving out by me (Alpine Valley Music Theatre) I've got horseshoe pits, poker table if you like to play cards, and a huge fire pit with plenty of seating to enjoy an afternoon/ night on a Saturday drinking and sharing some beers with fellow BA's. I'd also grill for everyone as well or make some bluegills. I'd also drive out as well.

    Cheers,
    Dave

    If love to do that in the summer. I've been to the DMB shows every year since 2000. I really miss that place since they didn't stop at Alpine this year.

    I like poker. Count me in. I host a game/bottle share in Schaumburg periodically. You're always welcome to those.
