Phoenix AZ gathering - BATF 07/09

Anyone in Arizona up to a get together sometime soon? I'm thinking some night next week, maybe at Papago -

I'll toss out the first idea of next Thursday evening -

any takers?

I'll be out that way next week.

CptMyCpt, when will you be in Phoenix this week - I'm up to seeing about getting together one night -

I'm up for it. Have you ever been to O.G's(think that is the name of it)? I never have but learned today that they have randled beer. something I definetly want to try.

I can make it if it isn't Thursday.

How about Wednesday night, around 6:00pm.

I looked for something called O.G. in Phoenix, any idea where it's located?

We can call it Papago unless anyone else can locate the O.G. -

Oggi's is on the NW part of the 101.
Kind of out of my range for a school night.

Ah, Oggi's -me and my literal interpretations.....

Is Papago pretty far out for you? If there's someone more central to us all, I'm up for that too - G.B. on Mill ave?

any interest in a future BATF in Pinetop, AZ?

Papago works.
If Central Phoenix is closer for anyone else, there is always the Lost Leaf.

The closest I've come to that part of the state in recent memory is Heber.
I was in Springerville about 5 years ago.

Papago is fine for me. I love that Sonoran IPA. As for Oggis I was just wondering if any had been there since I've been told the have a randalled beer. weds at 6pm works.

Very cool - so we'll do Papago at 6pm Weds night.

And the next BATF - hm, I have to admit I've not been anywhere up that area - if we can get enough people together, might be a good time on a weekend - what's the temp up there like in the next month? I'm guessing it's not 115 like here.

Ok Weds... I'll send off a PM.

I just checked that place out on a third friday. Bet it is packed on a 1st. Oggi's is pretty good and so is their pizza. Nice IPAs and Belgians. Never saw anything on a Randal. Maybe I'll stop by there when I see Chuck this week. Sorry I can't make it Wednesday due to work hours and I know you planned it that way. hehe

olllllo, we've got a meeting/pool party this Saturday and there's also the Mead Cup on the 26th where we need Stewards and Judges.

It's been in the mid-80s, but cools down to the 70s when the afternoon showers come in.

Thanks for the invite guys, I've got class from 6pm-10pm tho.

I'll catch the next one.

Jeep name guy - yes I will try to attend. My 36th B-Day is Thursday, so not sure how many things I can cram into one week

Definitely. Are you the old guy who opened the short-lived homebrew shop in Pinetop a few years back?

nope, but I wish it was still up here. No LHBS in the White Mountains....

damn, all you crazies in the valley and your 195 degree weather.......


Come on down here if you guys want to cool down. Were in full blown monsoon season :rockin:

Springerville is a long ways away. I found out last monday. I had to take a load of bagged sand up to that SRP generating station they have there. That was one long day. 13.5 hours.

Just noticed your location DT. Can you park your rig in the Papago lot tomorrow?

I work here locally so I am home every night. I can't make it tonight. Getting last minute stuff done for my wedding.

Looks like I won't be able to make it... damn work has cut the hours

Hope ya all have fun!

Today is not looking good. I am out here training with a group and class has been running long. I will do my best to get away in time. I hate work!

So we had a good showing last night, and had some good beers as well.

Desert Monkey, olllllo, beerthirty, coyotlgw, Iordz all showed up for a few rounds.

Thanks for coming out you guys, had a good time.

Had a good time, gents, nice to meet you all

Anyone remember the names of some of the beers we all tried? I'm most interested in the name of that sour - didn't think I'd like it, but it actually came off pretty good.

Jolly Pumpkin La Roja.

Fun time. Lets do it again.

Which one of you is the Iordan d00der from Bulgaria?

Also, finally kegged my Light Lager but it has a hint of Sulfur... will need to hit the books
