    Is anyone up for starting a tasting group here in Orange County?
    Seems like a good way to try new beers and meet some fellow
    BAs.

    I'm sure there are so many of us, we'd need a big place. :slight_smile:

    I live in Tustin.

    I live in the anaheim/orange area and could rather comfortably (albeit infrequently) host 30-40 people.

    I'm down for another tasting group. I live in old town orange and could host a tasting every few months.

    I'm down to go anywhere, just wanted to see what we could get going. I live in Laguna Hills but would
    drive anywhere. JP that would be awesome if you could host!

    Anyone have any idea now how to set it up?

    Maybe call February stout, IPA or sour month and everyone bring a bottle or 2?

    I have always liked the idea of targeting people with styles so all bases are covered. Pick a name out of the hat style.
    xxxx gets a BA this month, next he has to bring sour, sorta idea.
    This is just an idea and obviously host makes the rules.


    2-3 bottles pp.
    BA
    Sour
    Stout/Porter
    Belgian
    IPA/Lager
    Seasonal
    ETC.

    edit: I'm in laguna niguel

    This sounds fun, I would be interested in hosting a smaller RIS specific event in the Mission Viejo-ish area on a weekend night.

    Edit: smaller only due to the limited space I have.

    I'd be interested. I live in Long Beach near the OC border and can comfortably host 8 - 10 people and can uncomfortably host more than that. I work in Orange right by Old Town Orange so on a Friday I would be up for a tasting there too. I've got some friends that I infrequently have some pretty awesome tastings with but I've got a beerchive that I'm looking to drink down so I would love to participate in some more regular tastings.

    I live in Laguna Beach and can host about 15 people. All the beers will be served. If more than 15 want to attend, we can make it happen nearby.

    Depending on the timing I'd also be interested.
