    Hey all, I'm trying to get hooked up with some BA's in the area who either have an established tasting group or are interested in starting one. I have a Hill Farmstead so will regularly be sharing just about everything I can get from them, as well as anything else worth sharing!

    I know a guy down that way who is in to craft quite a bit and maybe be interested in doing a tasting with you, I'll forward him your username. I went to college at MO State and often miss good ol "SpringVegas." I'll be down later this summer and would maybe grab a beer with ya. Otherwise, I'd ask around at Mother's if they know of any tasting groups

    I haven't found any BA tasting groups, but I think there's a group of Brown Derby Wine Center regulars that do a tasting from time to time. I usually bottle share at the local cigar shop with some buddies. We're always cracking something interesting. I don't think we have a lot of BA members in the SGF.

    I used to hit up JFH all the time when I lived down there. Does bob still work there? I wasn't a fan of him. Bert was the man though

    No, it is under completely different ownership now. The original owner (Bob Gravett, who passed away last year) sold to the cigar manager and his wife and they have done a fantastic job. The customer base has grown tremendously and the owners are very passionate about tobacco, especially cigars. Plus they love beer! He's a personal friend so I'm a little biased, but it's a great place to hang out.
