Message JStax P beers 10650 º places 821 º 12:48 Sat 9/19/2015 Originally posted by alexsdad06 Originally posted by JStax Is this gonna be more a tickfest, or a quality tasting? Or somewhere in between? It sounds like there are going to be a bunch of very good/great beers that most people haven’t had. I’m sure there will be a couple that are ticks floating around. Good to know. Thanks!
Message Drjohnrock beers 1292 º places 67 º 13:36 Sat 9/19/2015 I intend to bring 2 or 3 beers that aren’t whales but aren’t swill-for-a-tick either, and that most of the attendees haven’t rated. Just decent beer. Hopefully there’s room for that.
Message DrSilverworm beers 11383 º places 123 º 20:28 Sat 9/19/2015 Need to look them up to confirm unrateds, but I’ve been waiting to share some fun ones that I have high hopes for.

I’m hoping to lean more toward the latter than the former, but there should be fun new ticks for everyone. Like I said above, I have a North Dakota tick for anyone who wants such a statistic (a heavily tented Fargo O’Fest can), but I also have some larger-format bottles that should be very nice sippers for everyone, and ones that you guys haven’t rated before. So the idea is to scratch both itches - which I’m guessing is what most RB tastings go for. I have no timetable for it (other than not starting before 4:30), so I’m hoping people feel free to enjoy things at their own pace instead of trying to rush through as many things as possible for new ratings. Obviously not everyone has unlimited time, but the goal is for people to be able to make of it whatever they want. There’s a small beer festival up the street at Fries Cafe that I plan on walking up to when it’s over, depending on how things go.
Message phaleslu P admin beers 16527 º places 792 º 14:00 Fri 9/25/2015 Just a reminder that this is tomorrow, show up anytime after 4:30. I’ve got some stuff in the fridge based on your wants lists and that I’ve been wanting to share. Don’t worry about bringing too much; if we get through what we have I’ll pass my cellar list around and we can pull anything. Looking forward to it!
Message Patrickctenchi beers 7260 º places 41 º 18:06 Fri 9/25/2015 I’ll be tagging along with Shrubber......looking forward to meeting you, and thanks for throwing the tasting!
Message DrSilverworm beers 11383 º places 123 º 22:19 Fri 9/25/2015 Massively excited for this. Planning to bring Jackie-O’s Rouge Pierre & Country Boy Black Gold Rum Barrel so far. Along with Jstax, my friend robotopera will be joining with a couple Asheville Brewing bombers.

Message Drjohnrock beers 1292 º places 67 º 20:11 Sat 9/26/2015 Thanks to phaleslu for hosting the event to everyone for all the different beers. There’s no way I will remember who brought every beer when I go to enter my ratings so I apologize in advance--don’t mean to leave anyone out.
Message DrSilverworm beers 11383 º places 123 º 11:56 Sun 9/27/2015 Originally posted by phaleslu Totally agreed. Awesome tasting peter. Great seeing everyone there. 4:30 - 12:30 -- whoa, time flew! What a session.
