The fixed location is why I’ve attended both. And its why I’ve attended neither. We still have RBSG, but rotating gatherings are fairer to more Ratebeerians. Its also fun to visit other places. Not many people take the same vacation every year Not many places are stagnant every year.
Message Homer321 P beers 5369 º places 54 º 05:02 Thu 8/10/2017 Originally posted by joet It will continue after this year’s hiatus. We have growing support from top brewers, sponsors and other interested parties. We’ve made no commitment as to where it will be and different ideas have been floated as to its frequency and goals. It’s fair to say that RBWG 18 planning by the community is in play! I’m confused. Hasn’t there been RBWG/Best in 2016 and 2017? So you are saying that there will not be a RB Best 2018? So a RBWG 2018 is up to the community to plan?
Message slowrunner77 beers 19964 º places 499 º 08:50 Thu 8/10/2017 Same here. I’m more likely to go to SD in the winter than anywhere else. The end of the year tap recap at Alesmith alone is worth the trip. Originally posted by hayduke Warm spot. Cold spot. All the same to me though for selfish reasons I would love Southern California as I can drive there in one day.

But I bet San Diego in 2018 and 2019 is more similar of a beer scene than San Diego 2018 and Austin 2019. If you disagree, you’re an idiot.

Message DuffMan beers 10981 º places 349 º 10:08 Thu 8/10/2017 The window of opportunity to have RBWG in North Korea may be closing...

Message drowland P beers 11069 º places 430 º 10:33 Thu 8/10/2017 I think the whole point of the RBWG is to have it in a location with warm weather... the RBSG then typically goes to a place that is cold in the winter. At least that’s what’s been done traditionally. I personally would LOVE to see RBWGs come back... every year. I’m almost certainly never going to go to a RateBeer Best because it’s too far away, too expensive, and falls during a lot of gigs/teaching/school year for me. However, if a RBWG happens somewhere where I can drive to reasonably, I’m back in. I miss the RBWGs badly! I’ve never been to a RBSG because they also always end up being somewhere too damn far away or fall during summer teaching... MAKE RBWG GREAT AGAIN!
