USA Craft Beer Trip - from Australia

Hey guys,

My partner and I are going on a USA Craft Beer Trip from Australia.

Would anyone else be keen to join?

These are the details:

Visit Brooklyn Brewery, Sixpoint, Rogue Distillery, Sierra Nevada, Napa Valley, Russian River, Lagunita’s brewery, Stone Brewing, Ballast Point and more.

You will also visit the Fresh Hops Craft Beer Festival in Portland, an annual craft beer festival.

The price includes all international and internal flights, activities, transport, some meals and all accommodation included for only 8k. We think the price is pretty good considering the exchange rate and everything thats included.

Would anyone from BA Aust. or NZ be keen to join in??

Thanks very much!! Do you have any recommendations where we can watch the AFL Grand Final in Portland?
The trip was based around the fresh hops fest in Portland, but that means aussies are missing the grand final back home. a few guys on the trip dont want to miss it, would any bars play AFL in the US?

 

Cheers,
Much Appreciated

Thanks! Oh my I am SO excited now. We are visiting Sierra Nevada as part of the tour.
I actually met Ken Grossman from Sierra Nevada when he was in Adelaide recently. I showed him this trip and he took some brochures, he said it was so well put together. We are going for a tour of SN with him on the trip.
I am surprised noone from here is keen to join the trip!!
