Schaumburg Area BA's

I'll prolly be going today after work if anyone wants to join. I can bring something to share.

 

any Friday or Saturday in May should work for me. Hopefully TG does their stout releases next month, I'll be heading through IA in mid-April. We'll see what I can find.

 

I went to a bottleshare at Bigbys a couple of years ago. We had the outside patio and the staff was great.

 

Ill be there about 430 or 5 today if you guys wanna stop by for a beer.

 

I won't be able to make it tonight, but hope we can get something scheduled for May

 

I've caught whatever bug is going around so it looks like I have to sit out this round. If anyone is coming from the city, let me know and I can still donate something to the event

 

Sorry to hear it. Rest up and get well.

 

Thanks man. Started feeling better yesterday but mad the mistake of having a few beers which feel like it took me back to square one :/

 

Two words: whale tails.

 

Thanks again everyone for coming over and making it a great night last night. Very laid back group and I enjoyed talking and sharing lots of great beer. Coirm is going to post the photo. We had exactly 50 open bottles and cans (list below).

Wow, nice list. Hopefully the next share won't be the same day as a release so I can make it. Got a bunch of decent stuff (imo) coming in from trades and hook ups.

edit: what were some of the highlights? just curious/jealous lol

 

tell him Bibgys is awesome!

 

Hey! This is Jess (met ya a couple weeks ago at Bigby's with Corey; he's cool with me logging in here under his screen name so I can keep an eye on any trades he has while he's in St. Louis).

Anyway- we owe you and would definitely be down for a tasting! I was there for a little bit on Thursday with my brother (who, coincidentally, said he's 99% sure he met and traded with you last yr for a bottle of Beer Hates Astronauts). I'm sure we could get enough people there for a private event.

Thanks again & I'll remind Corey to hit you up when he's back from St. Louis next Monday- Cheers!

 

Ha you guys don't owe me anything. I know your brother too. I gave him a bottle. Nice guy. I was with ed today and brought it up to him. He wants it to happen as soon as possible. We just need a date.

 

I'm in the area as well and love Bigby's. What a cool little spot and easily can go under the radar. Looks like you had a great tasting, HighWine. Man do I miss Fat Head's.

 

Aim for May 10th and I can make the trip up from Joliet. Always looking for opportunities to reduce my cellar. I can't make the 3rd or 17th due to the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, so hopefully the 10th could work for most folks.

 

Whoa I need to get in on the next tasting. I should be able to find some good toys to bring

 

May 10 tasting? Can people make it?
