Lets do Indiana sometime in April

I can dig that, my sister lives in Indianapolis, my parents are up north and I have friends there as well. April was a few months ago though.

I say we just hold our own, beat them at their own game :rockin:

That could happen.

 

[absoluthamm]

LOL I hear that Hamm. I have a good buddy that was sitting on an Arrogant Bastard that was his pride and joy.

My one buddy is finishing his basement and he's making a beer cellar room. I was talking with him last night and he said he was going to get a whole bunch of Chimay to stock the room... I'm like, I can go get that within literally 5 minutes, why would you stock the cellar with that?

That sounds like a challenge...

 

[coldcrash]

I could be convinced to join in

Damn right!

bump to new page ... didn't want our competing bottle share plans to completely derail the threat

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Next bottleshare will be in my neck of the woods.

 

[ivegot2legs]

We should try to put together a joint brew day/ bottle share at some point. Seems like there are a few HBTers in the Philly area who might be interested.

I've got a few bottles I don't really want to open just for myself and I'd love to share w some of you guys.

I'm not really in the Philly area but I could probably talk my sister into hosting it at her house in West Chester.

I would do this. I have too many quality beers that I need help drinking, and I want to share them with good people who will appreciate it instead of some random jerks at a large anonymous bottle share.

 

[skeezerpleezer]

Like, how about Chicago, I mean, it's the middle of the country, good airports, lots of direct flights...

Did O'Hare get shutdown and a new airport re-open since I was there in April? Luckily for me Delta flies direct into Midway and O'Hare from ATL.

 

[TobyG]

Rough week with a lot of folks on vacation with the family. Not in any rush here so if anyone is worried about not shipping right away or anything Lmk.

I'll add more later or tomorrow then probably leave what's here for the weekend. Cheers!

I'm working a couple angles to acquire something grant worthy so I can finally get in on this action. lol

That would be A+. I could only imagine what you would bring as I have an inkling of what your cellar looks like lol

I wouldn't say good or bad, after being stuck in LAX with a four hour layover. That place was a step above just a shanty town.

 

[wobrien]

I'll roshambo you to see which one of us drives.

Hire a limo?

Drive from Philly to Chicago picking up hbt'ers along the way. Rolling bottle share.

now THAT sounds like an epic adventure!

Me: hunny, I'm going to be gone for a couple days and spend about $500 to share beer with strangers from the internet.
SWMBO: lol
Process server: you've been served.

Pretty much....

 

[NuclearRich]

Philly area might be feasible for me too!

 

[TheMan]

Google maps says you're 8 hrs from Pittsburgh. If you're going that far you may as well drive the additional 4 hrs to Philly.

I was thinking to just leave after work friday night. Get to destination and be done. 8 hours is doable. 12...potentially.

:rockin:

Clarification: I'm in for bottle share, just not the multistate-rolling-divorce-causing version

 

[skeezerpleezer]

Should of got that Philly one going earlier. I am flying up there tomorrow. These are some of my travel companions, it should be a decent holiday weekend:

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

What if we did it Harrisburg and took over the Troegs taproom for a day?

Do you think they'll let us bring our brew rigs? Or do they have equipment we could use?

This group could get very big, very fast...

Or just hold on to those and bring them up w you in the fall when we do this.

I doubt they would let us use their equipment...we could perhaps arrange to have something down in their lot.

The answer is always no if you don't ask

Do you have a Wine-Check?

 

[skeezerpleezer]

I think I have a few more share worthy beers stashed somewhere . I'll try to come up if this thing happens and I don't have plans that weekend.

The system they use for the Scratch series would be perfect!

 

[sj3324]

Probably be the best beer that would ever be poured in that taproom... Oops

Could do it at my house right by Pizza Boy, though. Or Philly this weekend sounds like a good time to meet up with Skeezer.

 

[skeezerpleezer]

Do you have a Wine-Check?

No. I have 2 ways of doing it. Using a 12-bottle shipper and wrapping tape around the box and folding the tape on the sides over to make "handles", then checking that as luggage. Or pack them up in a champagne style case box (like the Bruery) then wrap all the bottles with bubble wrap/newspaper/etc. I have thick cardboard cutouts that I put on the bottom of the suitcase and in the top, then pack clothes around the box. I travel with beer almost every week, at least every other week, and have only had 2 casualties. One was an overcarbonated homebrew, the other was a BA pumkin beer that probably broke becuase I was lazy/hungover and didn't pack things up like I normally do. That one sucked though, all my clothes smelled like pumpkin beer the whole Darkness Day weekend.

Your not coming to Philly for that God awful concert are you? lol
The thought of Nicki Minaj doing anything 'live' makes me fear for the future of all music everywhere.
