    The official thread for our D&T Old Ale Bottle Share. My favorite bottle share/tasting event we do every year. This will be the forth Sunday of October, which would be October 25th @ D&T Drive Inn

    What to bring with you:

    Old Ales, English Barleywines, Winter Ales, English Strong Ales, Wee Heavies...etc...This is our annual bottle share for anything from the UK.

    Where: D&T Drive Inn, back patio

    When: Oct 25th, 1:30

    As always bring something that the bar does serve. Everyone needs to order at least one beer, and preferably lots of food from the bar, and tip well.
    Hope to see you there!

    RSVP to the events page so I can get a head count. Also, we need to be respectful and not get out of control. Considering this is usually not as crazy as Black Sunday, I am not that concerned. Though, I don't want to get on D&T's bad side.

    I would love to come to this but fear I may not be allowed to after Black Sunday. I'll check and get back to you.

    Bump, @imperialhink you better be there :slight_smile: It won't be as crazy as Black Sunday. Looks like maybe 10 people, which is less than our regular tasting was last Sunday.

    I will try...Black Sunday really screwed me as my now wife came back from her wedding shower to find me in passed out and then vomiting several times. For some reason she now thinks this is what beer tastings do to you.

    Its going to be heavy rain on Sunday, but looks like the heavy stuff will be in the morning. Unless Heights Blvd is complete flooded, and I can't get out of my garage, which did happen on the Memorial Day flood this year, I will still be there.

    Since it is not going to be a big crowd, D&T will reserve the one big table inside for us. Hope to see you guys in a few hours.

    Did this happen or was it a rain/ flood out. If it happened did anybody arrive in a canoe?
