    I believe Covenhoven in Brooklyn does a bottle share the last Sunday of every month. Obviously it wouldn't just be you and your buddies, but that's always an option.

    Are there really that many bars that are cool with outside beer? Doesn't that defeat their business plan of selling beer?

    If you were talking Philly, I'd suggest a casual BYOB restaurant. Not sure if New York has BYOB places though.

    I believe The Sampler in Brooklyn also does a bottle share on Thursday nights, unofficially, of course.

    Tuesdays...and it's only the third Tuesday of the month...as in last night.

    But yeah, BYOB restaurants and shops that do bottle shares are your best bet.

    Nice, did you go? What have you tried there? It's too out of the way for me, but I always have delusions of going.

    I still haven't made it there for any of the bottle shares unfortunately. I only live about 10 minutes away, so I really should, but the days they fall on always end up being bad for me (work wise).

    You could always stop by Other Half tap room. Just be sure to hook up the crew! :slight_smile:

    I'm interested to hear about the Covenhoven share. Is this Sunday the first one?

    I believe it is the first one. I keep trying to convince myself to go but it's a bit far away from me

    Curious by what you mean by this. If I brought. Couple cans of heady down there, what would happen?

    I mean you could open them up and share them with the crew. :slight_smile:

    Yeah I'm not saying you could bring heady there and someone else will have something to trade you with. That's also not to say you couldn't meet up with someone there to trade with them.

    Well when I did it the Heady got poured and consumed. YMMV.

    Top Hops has had its fair share as well. I can't say if they'd be open to one though.

    Have you been? What are the details about this?

    My brother in law and a bunch of people I know go to those. They had one last Thursday and he said there was about 30 people there. I've never been to one. I met the guy who runs the hop shop next store the day after at a buddy's house and he seems like a good dude.

    We should all go! Did your friends say what kind of bottles were at these shares? I've always wanted to crack my good bottles at one but I don't want to over-do it lol
