Message Odeed beers 1812 º places 15 º 19:44 Sun 8/10/2008 Originally posted by decaturstevo Originally posted by Naven In all seriousness, I hope someone makes a bid for Seattle. That’s a hell of a beer town and I need a good reason to go back. If it was there, I would seriously try to get there. SF is solid too. I would travel a million miles just for more of those Valley and Schooners beers. That is why I asked we’re planning a trip to Seattle this may if that is where the gathering will be it would be really handy to know asap. i think i asked about seattle and it was shot down for some reason.

Message DaSilky1 beers 2607 º places 66 º 19:52 Sun 8/10/2008 really, its between san fran and philly...so keep the proposals between those two. back to back cali rbsg should not be an issue nor mentioned, its irrelevant.

If it was there, I would seriously try to get there. SF is solid too. I would travel a million miles just for more of those Valley and Schooners beers. Vern from Bottleworks/Brouwer’s had a hell of a time with us down here and I know he’d roll out the red carpet for us in Seattle. It would be a fun time for sure if there are enough dedicated RBers up there to organize it and make it work. Trust me, it’s not easy to do it well. However, I have a feeling that Mike’s bid for San Francisco is going to be pretty hard to top if you happened to miss San Diego this year. Knowing Mike and his connections, it’s the only area in my mind brewery and bar-wise that can come close to what we had down here in SD this year. Who cares if it’s in California again? It’s about what kind of beer experience someone can put together - and now that bar’s been set pretty high!

No offense, but people like me who don’t live in california care. I’m not trying to make this an East Coast/West Coast thing or anything in between. It’s just that RBSG should be in places worth spending the money to go to regardless of where you live. Trust me, you’d rather spend the extra airfare going to a place like SF that has so much to offer than going to a place like Asheville, NC that might be closer to you, but only has one or two noteworthy breweries.
