East Coast

Safron Triple sounds like something I'd like to try.

Got ya!

 

[dryboroughbrewing]

I'll take the east coast juniper rye bock if it's still open.

 

[MapleGroveAleworks]

I think we've reached a point of critical mass where we will definitely be doing 2 groups this year. I don't want anyone to be left out. So let's get those groups filled up! Feel free to join the group 1 if you're west coast etc, just be reminded shipping will be slightly higher.

All yours! Welcome back!

Because I'm around Chicago and it is a throwback from here, I will take the gingerbread ale.

Can I get in? East coast with the quad, double, or stout... depending on what’s available.

Take at look at the OP. It shows what is currently available. For group 1 all that is left is the Christmas Gruit and Abbey Weizen.

I thought this thread was gonna get going today. Ha, it’s like a Black Friday sale on this thread. Luckily I can still get one of my top west coast picks. I Am Gruit!(spoiler)

All yours! And sorry I do think I started it a day early.

Ok. Here's my two cents, and I know it's kind of a dick move. It seems to me that lots of people want to take part in this activity. I don't know that it's fair to the group that anyone who signed up last year for a recipe but then didn't actually ship beers should get first dibs at signing up for 2019. I was really looking forward to getting 12 different types of beers this year.

Seems like there should be a penalty of some kind. Maybe it's a year's suspension from signing up or maybe they have to wait to see if there is a beer that nobody else signs up to make. Anyway, that's my two cents, but I'll go along with whatever the majority thinks, or whatever @MapleGroveAleworks thinks since MapleGrove is taking on the responsibility of organizing for 2019.

Understood and totally agree. I withdraw my request. I'll follow along just to keep track of all the fun you all are having brewing these amazing beers.

Ok thought we would have a little more time. Looked in and this forum was lit up.

I’ll take the Abbey Weizen, but still will likely be brewing the quad for personal consumption. [emoji482]

The Abbey Weizen is all yours! Welcome to the group!

I would like to do the Crabapple Lambicky for the West Coast.
I participated in 2016 and successfully sent all my beers!

[Jmarsh544]

Super excited for this! Just wondering, how many of the West Coast individuals are in the Orange County/ L.A. region of Southern California? I am in Orange County - I would think out of the 12 individuals a few of us might be from this area, which would be a benefit in combining shipping and maybe “testing” some of the progress along the way! Hope everyone is having a merry Christmas Eve!

 

[anotherbeerplease]

I'm close enough - happy to make the drive up!

 

[TwistedGray]

Maybe we can map the West Coasters and see where that puts us?

Another San Diegan, nice and about time.

I met scturo and gromitdj up in San Clemente for the 2018 exchange. It was fun and I hope we can do it with a bigger group next year.

 

[tochsner]

I am in the Seattle area.

 

[Scturo]

It looks like we got 3 in OC, and 2 in SD. The more the merrier.

Well, I’m west, but far from the west coast-N Central Montana, actually.

I see Jmarsh has the Griz logo in his avatar. A Montana connection?

Yes sir! Went to the U of M and still spend about 2 months a year in the Bitterroot Valley!

I'm in the Denver area.

 

[dawn_kiebawls]

I'm in Eastern Nebraska...I'd love to visit any of you though! lol

A fellow cornhusker. I’ve been back in Omaha for a few days visiting family. Enjoyed a few local beers while here, too.

- Cinnamon Roll Imperial Stout from White Elm Brewing.
- Lucky Bucket Snow Suit Winter Warmer.
- Lots from a visit to Nebraska Brewing Co. Sneaking a few bottles/cans home in my luggage today.

 

[biochemedic]

I'm resisting for now...would like for someone who has never participated to join in, and I've brewed the Gruit before anyhow......

Glad you enjoyed your visit back. White Elm does some fun stuff, I'll have to look for that Cinnamon Roll stout...My family is all from Tempe and my brother still lives in Phoenix. If I get the chance to come visit and golf to escape the cold this winter I'll let you know! Cheers

 

[dryboroughbrewing]

just threw together a german pilsner to propogate yeast for my doppelbock, and figured I'd bump the thread to see if we can get the last few spots filled.
