Hey - I’ve been into the whole craft beer thing for the past couple years, and finally just started reviewing a few months ago...I normally do this in the comfort of my own home with the girlfriend who doesn’t have the same appreciation for trying new beers.

Anyways, I was wondering if there are any monthly get togethers in Buffalo here for guys to get together and share some rarities, shoot the shit, and just chat about beer.

If not, anyone interested in starting one?

I’d like to start one here. There are a group that meets once a month on ba. Thier group is hardcore but bursting at the seams with the member count.

Yeah I don’t really stay very active on BA; I tend to do all of my reviews on my phone so it’s easier to stick with Rate Beer - plus BA forum folks seem kind of intense...



You know anyone else who’d be interested? I am new to the Beer community here so I feel like a total rookie.

Maybe some others will pipe up, I’ve only been this way since last may.

Myself, Swoopjones & IPFreely do get together occasionally, but not on any regular schedule. If you message me your contact info I can shoot you a text next time we’re planning on doing something!

Try Buffalo Beer Geeks on FB. They seem to get together quite often based on their relationship with the owner of Blue Monk and Coles.

Lets just pick a date & place to get the first one of these off the ground. My weekends are committed until early May - but the 11th or 18th could work for me.

For space - maybe we could use the 2nd floor of Blue Monk?
