[jsmurphy]

I'm still planning on the 10th. Looks like several BA's will be there that day too.

I'd like to make the last day, (18th) as well.

[L.H.H.H.Brown]

The 10th sounds fine. The first day is always good. The 18th isn't bad either but the good stuff will probably be gone unless he saves some, which he has been known to do. I just wanna savor the doubles.:p

[jsmurphy]

Yeah, Dave is notorious for stashing away something special until the last days of an event.

He's a "brew-tease"... :D

[fidcastro]

I'm good for the 10th and the 17th. I plan on going both Saturdays, but I'm not sure if I can make the 18th.

I will absolutely, without a doubt be there on the 10th.

Time?

[hopjack13]

im gunna try and make it by noon, which means i'll probably be there around 1 or 2 pm (indian time)
i'm gunna try and take the metro link to the goldline. i also have a plan to beat this drinking and driving issue! i'll fill you guys in on it at the fest!

[L.H.H.H.Brown]

No comment on the d and d. I will try and be there around 1ish on the 10th. As usual I will sit outside if possible.I'm also hoping I won't have to bring my son. Look forward to seeing y'all and drowning my tongue in hops.:p Oh, everyone have a great 4th!!!!!

[jsmurphy]

I'll be there in the afternoon.

[L.H.H.H.Brown]

beer is important

That's what I've been trying to convince my wife of but she will NOT listen! Oh well.

[hopjack13]

oh i've convinced my wife, and she loves great beer too!
which can be both a blessing and a curse, for instance , the yule smith, i bought a case......she gets half!:mad:

[L.H.H.H.Brown]

Whoa! Half the case!?!? Maybe I shouldn't complain!! I must admit though, that mine did enjoy our excursion to Belgium and she is looking forward to going back. Enjoyed the lambics, yes she did.

[hopjack13]

i haven't tried many lambics, the lindermenss (sp?) or something like that but i hear they're kinda the budweiser of lambics so i am waiting till something better comes along as that is all that seems to be availabel to me for now.

it was good to see you all , i had a great time! next?????? stone 8th???? and of course we're going to have to crash lhhhbrowns party next month too ;) fid you in?

[L.H.H.H.Brown]

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. We tried quite a few and after that first batch everything was not too funky. I lost track. Luckily there were enough of us to drink it and not get hammered. I will say that the bottle of "old, past its prime" 90 minute was my fave. Aug 17th is at Naja's. I know it's a Tues but you gotta get over that. Cask Franks...mmmmmmm. Aug 21st is the Stone Anniv. I am shooting to be a pourer so if you guys get in and see me behind a tap .....:D don't be shy.
