Message phaleslu P admin beers 16533 º places 792 º 15:22 Thu 12/1/2011 Finally, it is with great sadness that I must announce that RapeBeer will not be joining us. In fairly typical RapeBeer fashion, he had the dates mixed up and still thought it was next weekend and not this one.
Message phaleslu P admin beers 16533 º places 792 º 08:29 Fri 12/2/2011 So Seymour is bringing a 2010 Trader Joe’s Vintage Ale. I have 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009. vyvvy might have 2008 and is checking. Does anyone have a 2011? If not, John (vyvvy) can pick one up but it would be cooler if someone had it.
Message Strykzone beers 8457 º places 152 º 14:18 Fri 12/2/2011 Couldn’t edit the spreadsheet. I am bringing a Lost Abbey Devotion, Heavy Seas Mutiny Fleet Letter of Marque, and a Napa Smith Organic IPA. See everyone this evening.

Just curious.

Message birchstick 07:54 Sat 12/3/2011 Man, in the short hour or so I was there I got to try some crazy stuff...wish I didn’t have to jet early. Thanks again Peter for hosting!

Message phaleslu P admin beers 16533 º places 792 º 08:32 Sun 12/4/2011 Let me know if I missed anything. Also, you guys were so beyond generous that I could barely get to any of the stuff I was going to open, like Bitches Brew, Vortex II, or Valdez. I feel flat-out ashamed of how little I opened after offering it up. Sheesh, you guys really outdid me. For the stuff I failed to open and the stuff lushawn generously donated (we still have 2 Hill Farmstead beers from him, among others), my plan is to bring these to The Royale over the next couple Tuesdays. Also, the following things were left: Baltika 6 and Trader Joe’s Vintage Ale 2010 (Seymour) Napa Smith Organic IPA and Heavy Seas Mutiny Fleet Letter of Marque (Strykzone) Trader Joe’s Vintage Ale 2011 (vyvvy, I owe you for this one since I know you don’t want it) Let me know how you guys want to get these back.
