Message Fratto beers 2845 º 13:18 Sat 8/18/2012 So what I’m hearing is that it’s in Texas again?
Message douglas88 P admin beers 13196 º places 398 º 13:43 Sat 8/18/2012 I’m totally in on the idea of SLC hosting by the way. We might be able to get quite a show going. Any other thoughts?
Message SuperDave beers 1932 º places 26 º 13:44 Sat 8/18/2012 Originally posted by nbutler11 If the majority doesn’t have an issue with the cold, though, I would encourage Salt Lake City to put in a bid. Lots of good beer there that doesn’t get a lot of attention, and a great crew to potentially organize it. I second SLC. It’s not even that cold there. It’s almost desert!

Message Terminus beers 3784 º places 391 º 16:58 Sun 8/19/2012 how do we put in a bid Nick? Beermail you?

Google some of the old RBSG/RBWG threads (anyone have them bookmarked?) for examples of past proposals. Then they get posted here and voting is moderated by Oakes (or was for RBSG anyway).

I was also thinking Vegas or maybe New Orleans, but is there really enough craft beer to warrant a gathering in either of those places? Between the beer bars and the brewpubs, there’s plenty of craft beer. The logistical problem is that there are not any locals to coordinate it. New Orleans would be amazing, and I know Avenue Pub would take care of us - but I don’t know that there are any/enough locals to organize such a thing. If it’s in NO or TX or anywhere within a moderate/reasonable drive, I’m in... okay, well, I can drive just about anywhere.
Message drowland P beers 11069 º places 430 º 17:09 Sun 8/19/2012 (but like others have said, I’m from northern IL, so I’m not spending money and driving/flying to anywhere cold/snowy - I’ve had enough in my lifetime)

If this ever happened we’d have to extend invitations to the community as a whole. I’M IN!
Message Drake P admin beers 21771 º places 1252 º 17:14 Sun 8/19/2012 I’ve lived in New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. And I still can’t get enough snow. Still pissed that we didn’t get a winter last year.
