    Since I missed last year's, and heard that it was awesome, I say yes to Camp Beer!

    Loved last year's camp tasting! Let's do it again - great spot. You may want to avoid scheduling on Saturday, July 14 since the Southern New Hampshire Brewers Festival at White Birch is that day and tickets go on sale today at 9 am.

    Definitely going to the SNHBF this year - heard last year's event was all inclusive (no extra costs for food or water) and that they trusted the participants to monitor their own behavior rather than control consumption as is typical at these events. The other Saturdays in July are currently wide open.

    It took me a second to realize that you were saying this was one of your favorite meetings from last year...at first I thought you were saying that Upta Camp was one of your favorite beers from last summer. Is it bad that I read "camp beer" and immediately thought of Bob Marley and Shipyard?

    How does the 28th work for you all? I think that is a clear weekend.

    Assuming there's no bottle limit, I'm going to head down to Portsmouth tomorrow before the meeting, would anyone like some of Smuttynose's Brett & I?

    Count me in, Drazz! 3 bottles if you can... Do you need me to get some cash to you before hand?

    I'll take 3 bottles as well if you can get them, and can also get you cash ahead of time if needed and also cover Gary if needed, otherwise we'll settle up at the party. The Flanders that the Portsmouth Brewery is pouring on draft and on cask is also VERY tempting. Have one of each for me when you're in Portsmouth tomorrow. I really wanted to head down tonight but I'm trying to tame the crateur, who has been completely out of control the last month or so. So once again, plans are to just drink out of the bunker instead tonight. Thanks!

    Epic is an understatement. Such great beer. Thanks again for hosting Gary - let's do it again next year!

    I'd like to propose that the members and friends of the SMBDC raise a $100 donation to the Prodigal Brewer's Kickstarter campaign, which will get us a private tour of the brewery, our name on the wall and swag to fight over.

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1122986730/6324-pints-on-the-wall

    To keep this under control, I'm proposing a minimum contribution of $10 which will limit us to 10 participants for the tour. If you think that's too many then donate more. As soon as we hit $100 the list is closed.

    First come, first served as documented on this thread.

    Mercer and I are both in for $10 and so we're currently at $20.

    ps: working in the gardents today and currently enjoying a growler of Everett we got at HF on Wednesday.... OMG

    So, not sure if anyone has claimed May yet, but we'd be willing to host. Looking at the 12th or 19th but 5th could work in a pinch

    Have a theme in mind contingent that no one already claimed May...

    I thought Brian mentioned hosting May at his new place on the 26th at the sour tasting, but that may have changed.

    I actually remember there being some speculation that Brian should do one at his new place, but I'm pretty sure it was never locked down.

    Yep, I did offer to host the May tasting at the new place. Initially said the 26th but I believe that's Memorial Day weekend, not sure if that would impede any long weekend vacation plans so the 19th could also work if that's preferable to everyone.

    I think we mentioned that the May meeting be a mystery bag meeting where we try and guess what people brought by tasting, I think it's been awhile since one of those.
