Metro Detroit Meetup/Brewery Tour 1/31/10

GeorgeH · Jan 11, 2010

Would anyone be interested in a metro Detroit meetup?

I have a friend at Liberty Street Brewing Company in Plymouth who has agreed to give HBTers a tour. It's also a nice space so I figured we could do a tour and then get to know local HBTers. I've tentatively scheduled it for Sunday, Jan 31st at 1:00pm. Please post a note here if you're going to try to make it.

Sounds fun George. I'm not familiar with Liberty Street. I'll check the link out for sure. I'll let you know when it gets a bit closer to the date.

Edit: I've checked the link. Porter is my wifes favorite style. Tart cherry Porter sounds delicious. I may have to go there before the 31st.

GeorgeH · Jan 15, 2010

The Tart Cherry Porter is sour, ask for a taster before you order a pint. I'm not saying it's bad (they won a medal for it) but it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of beer. The rest of the stuff they have on tap is at http://ontapnow.com/supplierdetails.do?supplierId=20

Hey, count me in!! That's a great day to visit... the off week before the Superbowl!

stalintc · Jan 18, 2010

I plan on being there, barring any crazy circumstances.

BigHefty · Jan 23, 2010

George,

Have you heard if others are going to be joining? This is still a go right?

I think we've got 3-4 here, I've heard a couple "maybes" in PMs and I've got a friend who's a lurker who'll be coming. It's still on, we'll see if we get more late confirmations.

Feel free to PM members from the area to bug them to come

Mustangj · Jan 25, 2010

Put me down as a maybe. I'm going to try to get out of work.

lieb2101 · Jan 25, 2010

I'm in as a maybe along with the SWMBO.

GeorgeH · Jan 25, 2010

FYI, if anyone wants some brewery fresh yeast bring a sanitized container with you. I checked with the brewer and he's happy to send you home with some. It sounds like it's Mauribrew ale yeast, which I haven't heard much about.

lieb2101 · Jan 28, 2010

Confirming that I'll be there for sure with the Mrs (it's cool, she likes beer).
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

Scooby_Brew · Jan 28, 2010

Awesome, I'll be there with Mrs.! 1 pm sun, but how do I find you in there?

lieb2101 · Jan 28, 2010

Good point... I'm new here and I don't know the secret handshake...
Would making HBT name tags be too lame?
I've got a photo of me in my profile though. I'm kinda hard to miss...

Scooby_Brew · Jan 28, 2010

Cool, I'll see you at the bar

GeorgeH · Jan 28, 2010

Surprisingly, I don't look like my avatar picture.

I don't think the place will be too busy at 1:00 pm on a Sunday, but I'll let the staff know who we are and where to find us. I'll see what I can do about a sign. I'll try to grab a table upstairs if it's open, otherwise I'll just yell at people who walk in and look confused :drunk:

BigHefty · Jan 28, 2010

I'll be there as well. I'm trying to convince some of my friends to come along. They've all talked about brewing but have never done so. Maybe this will convince them. See ya Sunday, just look for the 6' 1" 350lb guy with salt and pepper hair!

Scooby_Brew · Jan 30, 2010

Hey is the brewery tour still on?

GeorgeH · Jan 30, 2010

Yup. We'll plan on people getting there around 1:00pm and do the tour shortly after that, and then hang out and drink for a bit after the tour. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

BigHefty · Jan 31, 2010

Guys, something came up and I'm not going to be able to make it.

((((( I hope everyone has fun.

stalintc · Jan 31, 2010

I will probably be 10 min late, got stuck a bit later than I expected at work. See you later

George,

Kris and I had a great time. Thanks for putting this together. It was really good meeting everyone and sharing some quality brew. I look forward to meeting up again! We'll have to do a Plymouth area tasting or something.

Cheers!
