    Does anyone know of any bottle shares/trades during RAGBRAI? I'll be riding but would love to set something up!

    I know of a couple beer geeks that are going to be on the ride. There is a guy in Sioux City that I met that had a crazy amount of whale beers (like 3 cases of BCBS for example). At the very least, I'm sure we can see if he is going to be around.

    Club 76 in North Liberty is having bands and half price beers on the 24th. Jeremy always has great selection on the taps.

    I'm in Sioux City and could prob put you in touch with a couple guys who might be interested.

    We're tapping some reserve kegs and having a free tasting with Marto Brewing at The Diving Elk Saturday afternoon. Rare stuff from Surly, Founders, Funkwerks, Great Divide, New Belgium.

    Ben - Sounds like we have a winner right here! Squashington, you had me at rare stuff, but what are we talking? If we are in Whale land I want to make sure I bring something decent to pop also :sunglasses:

    This sounds great! I think we should go to the rider meeting and then head here. We'll tell Sarah they have fried brussel sprouts and she'll be in!

    Hell Yeah!!! Are you going to be busy with the above or would you want to do a bottle share also?

    Hopefully I'm too busy. Otherwise I'll drown my sorrows in some whale bottles with you. You guys are welcome to bring a couple bottles provided you order some drafts or food. I'll send out a couple texts and see if anyone else is interested.

    Guys, I'm one of the ones in Sioux City he reached out to. Haven't done any trading here but I have over 50 between reddit and Facebook. I definitely have some whales in the cellar if you want to get crazy. You guys can email me at [email protected] or text me at (402) 304-7370
