Message Brigadier P beers 4930 º places 334 º 10:41 Mon 7/28/2014 Does anyone have preferences on northeastern Ohio drafts that are not down south yet? I was planning to bring a growler from Willoughby but if time permits I can also swing by Platform (just opened), BottleHouse (a solid up and comer), and, of course, Fat Heads Tap Room.
Message JStax P beers 10650 º places 821 º 12:05 Mon 7/28/2014 No preference, but I always like getting to try beer from new breweries. I’m probably gonna bring some el Catador stuff and a barrel aged alesmith. I’ll keep the particulars to myself...cheers!
Message alexsdad06 P beers 17945 º places 78 º 18:53 Mon 7/28/2014 I also enjoy new breweries. Preference goes toward IPAs and stouts but I like anything new.

Message phaleslu P admin beers 16538 º places 792 º 19:15 Mon 7/28/2014 I think I’m going to make this. Is there room for me, Tom?

Are those Willoughby Nut Smasher bottles out yet? I would love to try that one.

Message Tmoney99 P beers 21149 º places 819 º 09:49 Tue 7/29/2014 I still have three seats open. Like to get count to eighteen. That would also put event in top three for August.

Message phaleslu P admin beers 16538 º places 792 º 10:13 Tue 7/29/2014 Okay, then unless something dramatic changes, I’ll be attending. Here’s the article mentioning Nut Smasher bottles "in July" - http://www.ohio.com/blogs/the-beer-blog/the-beer-blog-1.273124/willoughby-wins-annual-fat-head-s-heavyweight-brewer-s-brawl-1.500411 - and there are some other mentions here and there. I have a growler of this: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/funky-buddha-tripel-lindy/159530/ And a crowler of this: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/cigar-city-5-beers-for-5-years--imperial-oatmeal-cream-porter/254233/1/1/ And can bring a few neat things from STL.
Message Chudwick beers 4909 º places 251 º 11:14 Tue 7/29/2014 I might bring scotch, like the people who brought vodka to Dark Lord this year.
Message DrSilverworm beers 11383 º places 123 º 08:59 Wed 7/30/2014 I just acquired a 32oz crowler of a new West Sixth Oaked Black IPA called Castlewood (filled 7/29). Plan to bring it to share. Also plan to bring a few other things, some Jackie-O’s bombers, likely. Will update here when I finally get around to looking at my cellar.
