I have been tossing this idea around for the past month or so I wanted to present it to this group.
Here's some background:
I am part owner of a 12 unit hotel with a bar/restaurant inside on the shores of Lake Superior in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. I've always wanted to dedicate the entire hotel to beer geeks for a weekend, and have a nice bottle share/tap event that everyone could enjoy. I've talked it over with my partner, he's into the idea of possibly shutting down the dining room one evening and having a group of beer appreciators enjoy our space.
My thought process started because we have a three year vertical of BCBS sixtels, and I want to share it with people that appreciate it.
Quite a few of you have been to our place, and numerous others have individually contacted me about coming up this summer on a vacation...
I realize we are far from most of you. But I also realize that everyone likes a good vacation now and then, so why not couple the two together.
So I'm thinking maybe setting up a reduced rate in the hotel for TB'ers, book the entire hotel with beer minded people, close the restaurant down one night and enjoy ourselves. We can host upwards of 30 people in the hotel, and there are some nice houses owned by friends within a hundred yards of our establishment. This would not have to be limited to beer, people would be encouraged to bring bottles of whisk(e)y, whatever they wanted to share. We also have an all wood Oyler smoker that fits 700 lbs of meat.
There is alot to do outside of beer drinking in our area if you're into the outdoors, like canoeing, fishing, hiking, beach lounging, swimming, bond fires. Our beach and surrounding areas are very kid and dog friendly, and I would encourage folks to bring them with.
I was thinking of sometime in September, as that would give us enough time to get bottles, select drafts together, maybe some things people out of Michigan would appreciate, (Short's).
Feel free to flame me, as I know it's a long haul up this way. Just wanted to gauge interest if there were a group that would like to converge on a small town, have the place all to ourselves, and rage.
Discuss if wanted.
P.S. If Gene or any of the mods feel this is a plug, contact me, I'd understand. I'm not posting any names of establishments as this is not a business ad, merely an attempt to get some good beer/whisky drinkers together.
