Just realized that the biggest beer weekend in Florida is at the same time as that Axpona nonsense. Well, the stars should align and some people should pop in for a beerfest or two, and possibly a meet if we can stay sober long enough.

Best Florida Beer Championships - Calendar of Events

Will post more later.

Looks like something I would want to go to Matt! Hopefully we can get enough people to call it a meet.

Matt, I have to decide whether to come for this or the Hunahpus at CCB release on 3/12. I'm leaning to the Hunahpus release as I can't be up there both weekends. We can have our own damn beer championship.

Would love to do this or the CCB release the following weekend.

Both ideas sound good to me. The only problem I'll have is getting the time. This is just a week before final exams for the Winter quarter so my students will be hounding me with questions and such.

Hunahpu release is probably the right choice. Joey will most definitely be rolling out the barrel aged Hunahpu for tasting and I can't even begin to guess what else he'll have ready. Shall we toss together a meet for the 13th?

Hell yes!

I'll drive.

It sounds like a done deal.

When is anorexia meeting in Jacksonville again?

To quote you:

What? A Florida meet not organized by Mike? I'll bet it sucks!

You ommitted me from the list of people who can throw a good FL meet, but I forgive you, I suppose. And yes, it's the same weekend.

You are indeed, correct. I omitted you! Ha!!!

Should have said Mike or Matt. Don't forgive me if you don't want to, but you do throw good Florida meets. Great ones, in fact.

If this is all happening the same weekend, I'd be happy to drive the big party wagon to Jacksonville and back. It could probably hold most of the crew.

Yeah, Axpona is 3/5 to 3/7 which I plan to attend. The Brewers Guild Festival is 3/6 and the Brewers Ball is 3/7. I would have to drive back on Sunday after a bunch of drinking and that would not work. The next issue is I want to be up there the following week for the CCB release. I guess that will be a day trip.

What will be a day trip, the CCB thing?

Correction: Axpona is the same weekend as the original events I listed. The Cigar City special release is the following Friday.

That's what I'm thinking. Drive up early Friday, pick up my allotment and head back home.

And not taste the plethora of other awesome stuff at the release? Unacceptable. Skip Asspowna.

The problem is I would have to drive back after tasting the plethora of stuff. You do recall the condition you were in after this event last year.

Or maybe he doesn't recall.

Someone sober has to keep Vicky company...

I'll have to ask for the days off, see if I can get them. No promises yet. If I get the days, count me as designated driver. I just want to hang out with the crew, get to know you guys more.

That is entirely possible.

To know us is to love us.

Soo, I'm confused. Are we doing a meet or not?

Can't we just hang out?

Yes but not if Mike is driving straight up and back on the same day. I think we're not quite connecting on dates at this point.

Well if this does happen, I am in Miami Feb 28th - March 3 so I might just hang out down there the rest of the week and hang out with youse guys.

Jeff, I guess it's a Florida Beer Meet March 6-7.
