Winter gatherings should be somewhere with warm or at least tolerable winter weather So where's your proposal? D.C. in the winter? Are you fucken crazy? I know you want proposals near you, but this makes no fucken sense. Why don't you suggest Green Bay while you're @ it.

Message Travlr beers 30304 º places 3520 º 09:15 Tue 9/12/2017 Originally posted by pushkinwow Originally posted by GodOfThunder I still think we need a winter gathering in Anchorage for the barleywine festival. That would be incredible +1 one of the few "cold weather" winter locations I could get behind. That said, last time BeerandBlues2 and I went to the fest it was 40+ F (5 C) in Anchorage, so we got out of the city to surrounding breweries pretty easily. even the 7.4 earthquake at 3 AM didn't deter us, one of the brewers was in a club at the time and said that suddenly his dance moves got way better

Message willisread beers 6519 º places 126 º 20:54 Tue 9/12/2017 Would anyone be up for Nashville? I just moved here and seem to be one of a very small number (maybe one other relatively active) Ratebeerians. I'm not sure what goes into a putting a proposal together, but I'd be up for something if anyone were interested. Or if not this year, maybe a proposal for 2018. Cheers, Will

Hmm, this kinda snark is giving me second thoughts about supporting a certain proposal from a neighboring state to the SW.

Unless you're thinking about re-locating.
