WF 11 NY beer trade

Anybody want to run this and get it going?

If I were coming, I'd be on it Have a couple for me.

Last year was nice, everyone had sumthin different in their coolers and it was a take one put one kinda deal. I got to try a BUNCH of different brews from all over up there.

I'd be happy to organize the Beer Swap.

I learned from last years mistakes.

Rather than have them scattered all over the place, there will be one central spot in the lodge with clear markings for it.

It's also something I'd be glad to do.

Excellent. Also, maybe a list of who brought what and where its from? Not sure what i'm planning to bring yet.

My personal suggestion to those interested in the beer swap, is based on the fact that we can all easily buy from the "giants of the industry". So don't bring those.

In the spirit of expanding our communal beer tasting experiences, bring. something unusual to the table. I am requesting that you bring something from your local Micro-brewery that is unlikely to be found widespread across the nation. We have several such example from the Rochester breweries. Do the same for your neck of the woods, or neck of the bottle...

... whichever you prefer.

So a sixer of Genny cream ale?

Genny Cream, Honey Brown , 12 Horse Ale.

Rohrbach Highland Ale, and others.

My brother and I will be bringing some Beau's from Vankleek Hill, Ont.

I am interested.
Does Home Brew count?

Dependent on the alcohol content, they may even count twice!

Muahahaha.
My friends and I have made some pretty powerful brews.
The current is an Abby Ale. We are guessing well over 9%. I will make sure to bring a decent supply along with a sixpack or two of something more pedestrian.

Let the pedestrians bring their own damn beer!

I'll be up for bringing some Great Lakes stuff. I'll try to grab some Lake Erie Monster and bring it. It's a high octane (9%) Double IPA. Easliy one of their best beers. At $12/4 pack, I can only bring a handful, though.

Anyway, how do we do this? Should this be a Microtel event? Should we set some up at the actual fest? I'd be willing to volunteer some time getting something going.

Jason and I have been working on some details behind the scenes. We should be posting up about it soon.
