11th and Arch, 12th and Filbert. Or you could just let the hotel valet it for you. No matter what, it's going to cost you. Judging by your avatar I'm guessing you're from the DC area. If so, consider the train from Union Station to 30th Street Station in Philly. From there, it's a short cab ride. Philly is a very walkable city, so you shouldn't have any problems getting around.
Barnesie said:I've taken the train many times up for work, so I'm familiar with that route but I'm planning to carpool. If I can get into the discounted lot then it will be less then one train ticket, if I can't then it will be slightly more then one ticket split between two people.
First timer here as well, and absurdly excited. Our club, BARF out of SE Virginia, will be pouring at the Liberty Well on Thu from 4 to 6 and then during Club Night, too. We'll have about 22 kegs all told, but since my wife & I are coming in on Wed for BNA8 (woot!) the LWSC beers will mostly be my session ales: Saison, porter, IPA, & herbed Belgians all below 5% ABV.
We're saving the big dogs for Club Night: barrel-aged RIS, Tart Cherry Farmhouse Braggot, Oaked Old Ale, Imperial Gruit, Smoked Porter, Raisin Dubbel, Chimay clone, etc.
I'm signed up for the DFH tour as well as the BNA8, so make sure we find each other so we can say "Hi!". I'm looking forward to it.

I'll be there with a lot of DC area homebrew friends! This is going to be epic!! Hope to share a pint with all of you who have helped me in my quest for brewing great beer!! Big questions on my mind are a) which seminars to attend, and b) how to drink all I want without getting so **** faced by 11AM that I can't function...sigh!! Everyone have a great time and be safe!
Cheers!
I didn't realize there was stuff going on Saturday (haven't received my ticket, even though I paid). I knew I wasn't going to the banquet, and was planning to head for Rochester Sat morning (depending on how Friday night goes).
ONE WEEK!!!!!!!!
is there any point in organizing a HBT meet-up/bottle share/bottle swap? is there ever any down-time when we'd want an additional source of beer? (of so, we could just trade instead of drinking on the spot...)
thoughts? maybe in the evening, immediately after the last seminar?

is it possible to buy a pass just for a event like club night and thats it?
wait, i thought they moved club night to a new larger facility and then started selling club night only tickets... am i making this up?
and Yooper: would LOVE to trade for the raspberry tart! anything in particular i might entice you with?

The PPA is rape.
Now that Traffic Court has been abolished, maybe PPA is next!
