Message Terminus beers 3784 º places 391 º 17:09 Fri 11/16/2012 So, is this going to be Minneapolis or is it still TBD? If so, my vote is for St Louis.
Message bytemesis P beers 15308 º places 1595 º 17:32 Fri 11/16/2012 I vote Minneapolis!!!
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 18:22 Fri 11/16/2012 I want some bbq and I’ve already ticked MSP but i had enough good beer there to get my vote.

Message DalzAle beers 2046 º places 14 º 18:27 Fri 11/16/2012 Still finalizing the details and getting agreement on dates from the breweries in the next few weeks. Making no assumption on MN at this point, and am planning on others to finish proposals so we can have a proper vote.
Message AdamChandler P beers 6124 º places 278 º 18:35 Fri 11/16/2012 Originally posted by daknole Minneapolis or Chicago would be awesome. Chicago has my vote. Portland Oregon would be awesome as well. Of course, Burlington Vermont is beautiful in the summer. A bus tour around Vermont hitting breweries would be incredible but honestly Chicago and Portland are both great beer cities

A bus tour around Vermont hitting breweries would be incredible but honestly Chicago and Portland are both great beer cities I think both the potential organizers from Chicago decided they werent going to do it this year, though if it was an option I would definitely vote for Chicago.
Message drowland P beers 11069 º places 430 º 21:36 Fri 11/16/2012 Any updates? If the dates work for me, I want to try to make it. I have only ever been to Winter Gatherings and it’s time to change that. Plus I plan to suprise Greg with a blumpkin.

Message DalzAle beers 2046 º places 14 º 16:07 Sun 2/17/2013 Bumping this back up, we’re just trying to secure the timing for one last brewery for our proposal. I’m curious if there are any other cities who also have pending proposals?
Message JulienHuxley P beers 6219 º places 450 º 16:21 Sun 2/17/2013 I’d try to make it to Minneapolis!
Message radarsock beers 1226 º places 112 º 16:23 Sun 2/17/2013 Why not MA? Has there been any RBSGs in MA in the past? We have some dope spots for beer, but it’s totally spread out, though.
