    Was wondering if there was a group of BA's out there in the QC area that get together to have some beers once in awhile? I have several buddies I hang out with that would be interested as well....

    If you ever want to drive another hour to the IC area let me know. We are trying to get a group started here too and you're always welcome!

    I also make it down a handful of times a year to visit the in-laws and have organized tastings of RB and BA people in the past (Front Street in Davenport has always been really accommodating to us!)

    Davenport here

    I get together with buddies often but we don't necessarily make it about "beer." We drink good beer while there, both homebrews and commercial, and shoot the shit about sports/tv/whatever.

    I enjoy RIBCO a lot and would like it if one of these nights (prefereably $2 burger basket nights!) everyone got together.

    I would invite all of you out to my house if I had a house, but unfortunately I just live in an apartment so I can't.

    When is RIBCO $2 basket night? I'll be in town for a handful of days around July 4th and may hit that up!

    Bah, Won't be in until late on the 3rd. I still have yet to hit up RIBCO, will need to make it a point to go this visit. Perhaps a meetup for locals can be arranged?

    Wilco is in town the 3rd, and the 4th is obviously a bad day, but any day after that would be cool

    Like woodchopper says, we get together every Tuesday night. Here's what last Tuesday brought -

    I think I'll be going to RIBCO on Wednesday of next week, as well(depends on the schedules of a couple people)

    Let me know if you plan on hitting RIBCO on a Monday sometime soon. I can drop down there after work.

    If it's a Saturday, you know to count me and my better half. I'm not having a BBQ in July anymore(too much stuff to do to get ready for it), so my weekends are all free. We can talk about it tomorrow. I've got a growler of Snake Handler that's coming with me tomorrow, too.

    We're there, dude. Bryce and his brother might be in the area, too. Is this going to be the Eclipse tasting?
