Pittsburgh Bottle Share

Sounds like fun. Will give me an excuse to get back to Pittsburgh

 

I might be interested in this. What kind of bombers are we bringing? Just anything? Rare treats?

 

High life 40's it is!!

 

How long do you think people will hang out for? As of right now, I would be there around 530. What is everyone thinking of bringing?

 

Curse my occupation and how it has me work every Saturday! I've met one whole person on this site so far and it's rare that I ever get to sit down and share with beer enthusiasts (basically nothing outside of random convos at the beer stores). My friends can appreciate some craft beer and I like to share with them but it's not the same as talking to peeps that know their shit (considering I figure myself for a novice still so it rings hollow to me being the best versed on the subject in a group). Ah well, maybe some other time. I'll hold onto that bottle of Old Raspy XIV in the closet a little longer JIC I can make a meet up one day.

 

Dreaded. I will be in DC that weekend. We should do this monthly/bi-monthly. I have stuff I'd love to share with other lovers of high quality beverage.

 

We tried doing this a while back, when we all first met. Alas, finding venues to host became more work than any of us wanted/had time to do. That is why the core group of us stuck together and we do tastings fairly regularly at someones house. We decided as a group to do a public tasting like this to get out and meet and interact with some new BAs. By all means if anyone checking this thread wants to step up and run with an idea like this or any other, I dont think there should be a problem in getting the support for us the community. I know personally I'd be in for more regular gatherings.

 

It might be your biggest but it wont be your tallest! Don't think i can make it

 

Lee your alive, missed for this years annual pre big pour tasting.

PS have a bunch of cans for you

 

OH YEAH! hold onto those i will be home soon with traders in tow.

 

Guess I will give this a little bump.

On a side note, this was my idea to kind of resurrect this idea. Unfortunately it seems that this might turn out the same way the last one did. A lot of talk leading up to it, and then only a few people showing up. Hope this is not the case though. Figured since its been about a year or so since we last tried doing one of these publicly there would be more BAs who were interested. Ive seen quite a few new names that I dont recognize replying to threads about Pittsburgh info and such yet not a lot of intrest in actully drinking beer? Weird. Anyways, I really looking forward to this and cant wait for saturday. Looking forward to meeting some new BAs, and I guess Im looking forward to hanging out with those of you I usually hang out with.

Cheers,
Sam

 

I am out of town or would totally be down for this. I'm down for one next month.

 

Yeah, it was kind of embarrassing telling Bocktown we were expecting 20-30 people & then have none of the 'Maybes' & less than half the 'Ins' show up. A good time nonetheless, but do you remember all the empty tables around us?

Wish I could make this one.
