Message Cletus beers 6349 º places 233 º 17:13 Mon 11/9/2009 Originally posted by j12601 23-26 is probably a no go for me as well. The weekend earlier might work, but if we end up getting into the program we’re trying for, we leave the country from NYC on the 24th. 23-26 might conflict with BCTC.
Message ketchepillar beers 1218 º places 18 º 17:26 Mon 11/9/2009 I’ll hopefully be going to this.
Message miketd beers 5 º places 125 º 17:28 Mon 11/9/2009 Originally posted by dankman38 I’m happy to hear, I intend on making it. You can’t even make a tasting 5 miles away.

Message mattmc1973 beers 479 º places 13 º 17:43 Mon 11/9/2009 Sweet. My wife is expecting and due in early July. So not sure if the whole 3-4 day weekend will work for me, but I can probably get over there for a day in GR.

It is a possibility, although the last few years it has been first weekend in August. I think at this point if it did conflict with bctc I would be about 50/50.

B/C of budget/work issues, I probably will end up choosing RBSG over BCTC this year. Sad, cuz I love that fest. We’ll see though...
Message TURDFERGUSON beers 4067 º places 154 º 18:24 Mon 11/9/2009 Oh and Congrats to Michigan! Sounds like this will really be a good time. Never been to Michigan and I love all those breweries. And meeting new, awesome ratebeerians is my favorite part about being on this site.

Message masonjer beers 609 º places 15 º 18:48 Mon 11/9/2009 Good to hear all the support. We plan on making this RBSG a good one!
Message Cletus beers 6349 º places 233 º 19:01 Mon 11/9/2009 I’d love to attend as well, but what is there to do/see in Grand Rapids that isn’t beery? Planning a 1K+ vacation is a tough sell with my wife if there is nothing for her to do.

Well, all I can hope is that if I can’t go to either RBSG or BCTC that I’ll be drinking some tasty beers in Japan instead.
