I’m hoping to attend, and I’ve let some other raters know as well. This would be our first "big tasting," so just to clarify the expectations: should everyone refer to your spreadsheet and try to bring a bunch of obscure beers to share? Mixed six pack? Twelve pack? If people don’t bring beer are they asked to pitch in money?


Big single bottles work best in tastings like this, with a decent sized group of people. 6- or 12-packs don’t really fit the bill because we wind up with a lot of one beer. 750s and bombers work best because everyone can get a decent amount of whatever they want to try, but if you have smaller individual bottles of something "big" (e.g. World Wide Stout), those are great, too.

I see no need to throw in any money. I’m happy to share anything I have and encourage people to bring any amount of bottles you’d be fine sharing. If you don’t have a lot right now, no sweat. I’m just excited to be able to share some stuff with fellow raters.

When I finally get a few minutes at home- this week has been busy- I’ll put a Google spreadsheet up so you can put in a few things you might bring. My employer blocks any document sharing sites. I’ll take a look at all of your Wants lists to get an idea of what people might want to try.

This looks like it would work for me. I’ll have to check my calandar closer to the event. Cheers!

As of right now I have nothing on the 10th, so it should work. I have plenty to share. Are there any themes (styles, verticals, etc) to this or just a massive bottle share? Thanks for the invite! I can also start the google spreadsheet if you want - I have one saved that I created for the Big Black Beer Bash a while ago.

No theme, just a bottle share. It’d be great if you could start the sheet- thanks!

Thanks, Jon! The Event has been updated with these forms: http://www.ratebeer.com/event/15931/stl-ratebeer-gathering/



Add your name there if you’re coming so I can get a rough count.

Also, update your Wants lists so we can try to hit each other’s Wants if possible.



My Haves don’t represent what I actually have for drinking; it’s stuff I have set aside for trading, FYI. Actual cellar is much different, and bigger.
