Message Scopey P beers 24178 º places 727 º 03:33 Wed 3/25/2015 I like the sound of Estonia.
Message Marduk P beers 21940 º places 968 º 03:47 Wed 3/25/2015 Originally posted by Scopey I like the sound of Estonia. As FatPhil mentioned in #2 post .ee alone may not be ready yet. But joint event with Finland (Helsinki-Tallinn) is an idea worth thinking.
Message VsXsV P beers 5000 º places 92 º 03:55 Wed 3/25/2015 I’d be up for either if I can afford it, but Croatia sounds especially interesting. Where in Croatia would be the plan, Marko?

Message Marko P admin beers 17703 º places 866 º 05:15 Wed 3/25/2015 It would have to be Zagreb for beer, and I doubt there will be bobes provided on the ponds/lakes desperate people swim in here, but no other place in Croatia is nearly ready, but with a trip to some place with sea provided - say, bobe camp Valalta, or Split if the supposedly soon to open brewpub(s?) start brewing in time) after the actual event for those willing to do the three to five hour trips. Actually, if Estonia makes a good proposal, it’s probably better that they take over. Things MIGHT (will really) change in the next 3-4 months, but the craft scene definitely seems more well off there. Things are improving quite fast here, but it might take another year till things get really ready, and great with Slovenia’s progress too. :) I’d actually be more interested (though it’s stupid to talk about my interest since my finances likely won’t recover enough till then to support a trip), though I LOVE Helsinki and the Finnish scene, if it was a Baltic countries joint event, but it’s a 4 hour drive to Riga, let alone some place in Lithuania, so that would be a major pain logistically for limited time. Would make for some very interesting drives though, bus tastings and such.
Message Leighton P beers 33712 º places 1204 º 06:00 Wed 3/25/2015 Just to reiterate a point I’ve made before, but I have wanted to do a beer trip to Lithuania for a few years now. Sounds like there is an exceptional traditional scene there, and if there was a local organiser a gathering could be great fun. Is there anyone who could organise in Lithuania?
Message Leighton P beers 33712 º places 1204 º 07:26 Mon 3/30/2015 Somebody yesterday mentioned to me that some folks in Copenhagen were thinking of putting together a proposal. Can anyone confirm this?

Message Martinus beers 5018 º places 224 º 15:39 Mon 3/30/2015 Hmm.. Copenhagen. Do they know anything about beer there?

I believe there’s a user here who wrote an ebook on Lithuanian beer culture, perhaps he would be available for consultation? Larsga I think his username is.
