I think phaleslu, STLWILL, and I are meeting at Perennial Wednesday evening. You should come hang out with us. And if anyone else is in town early, head down to Perennial Wednesday evening. Really good food served there too. They usually let us pop bottles as well, so......


What time are you guys planning to go? I will be at the hotel at 6:30ish, and can swing by if anyone is going from the hotel.

Heading out of town until Thursday night - is it a big deal if I don’t make it to UCBC to pick up my packet? Will it be available to me on Friday at the launch of the brewery tour?

That won’t be a problem.

Sorry guys, start lining up early because I only have 12oz of each.

Added

OK, I’m shutting it down and hitting the road. All entries received by 1:24 PM EDT today have been added to the spreadsheet. Check it for accuracy, folks. Let me know if I fucked something up. I’ll stop a couple times at "hot spots" along the way from south Florida to St. Louis in order to fuel up and update the RBSG Grand Tasting Doc as requests are received by me via beermail.

It’s already a very impressive list.

Btw, I haven’t driven this far in about 24 years and I have a tendency to fall asleep when sitting inside anything with an engine (cars, trains, planes, etc.). So, if you don’t see me tomorrow night at Urban Chestnut, I’m probably dead. I will try to update the RBSG Grand Tasting Doc before I suck in my last breath of burning petrol and carbon monoxide... you’ll probably see what’s left of me on the news.

... and you will miss my userpics/avatars/profile pics, no matter who you are or how vehemently you’ve protested against them over the years. Just sayin’... there are some things you don’t think you’ll miss ’til they’re gone.

Reminder: Sheet 1 is listed in alphabetical order by ratebeer username and Sheet 2 is listed in alphabetical order by brewery name.

Drive safe man! Chew some sunflower seeds, alternate between talk radio and music, experiment with those energy shot things, and take a break if you feel yourself nodding. I need my racy avatar pics.
