Message jandd1983 beers 7629 º places 418 º 07:30 Sun 6/22/2014 Had a great time and met a lot of awesome folks. As we were getting ready to leave, our brown bag bottle was missing. Unfortunately, we were not the only ones missing a bottle. I hope whoever removed our bottles, enjoys them, I know we would have.

Liz and I made it away from the same table with both of our bottles at the end of the night. I hope someone finds them in their bag/cooler and returns them to you.
Message brokensail P admin beers 21480 º places 1691 º 12:17 Sun 6/22/2014 Sorry to hear about the missing bottles. Hopefully they turn up. Overall, a fantastic event and a great time. Thanks so much to Keir, Peter, and Will for putting together such a top notch event. I’m sure you guys were going crazy during it all, but it seemed to go off without a hitch to me. And the reception and generosity from all the breweries was amazing. It was great to see a couple of those I’d met before and meet lots of new people for the first time in person. Thanks everyone for sharing so many awesome beers, as well. TL;DR:

Message Homer321 P beers 5369 º places 54 º 14:28 Sun 6/22/2014 As I chill in the airport and think about the last four days, the work and effort and hospitality by everyone involved is truly amazing. Phaleslu was nice enough to offer to pick me up from the airport and even let me get in the rare Finn tick. This was my first RateBeer Gathering and I was truly amazed at the graciousness of the breweries and their staff; the well thought-out planning was executed flawlessly; everything was truly amazing. I am sure that Peter, Keir, and Will were stressing out at times, but they wore it well and I got to witness their enjoyment in it all Saturday night. These guys and gals did a great job and really put in a championship effort! Thank you all!
