I'll bring the bud! Not the alcoholic beer though. :D

Looking forward to this!

I am bringing a few jugs of this stuff to share, the "Climax IPA" is brewed in the town right next to mine and is pretty yummy stuff!

Anybody coming from Colorado? I'm dying to get my hands on some Breckenridge.
The wind blew me back, via Chicago, in the middle of the night.

Quotegreat idea ALady!

i'm more of what you'd call a beer brat.  not a big fan of the micro brews.  i find a lot of them to be too sweet.  i get suckered by the fancy labels & have been burned many times.  ultimately, i'm a guinness girl, but the black stuff's a bit heavy on the belly for this type of thing.

anyhaps, blue moon's rising moon is what's on tap for me tonight.  not adventurous but delicious.  and anchor steam is delightful as well.  especially their summer brew.  i'll probably be bringing one or both of them.

edit: oh yeah - coming from nj.

Not all micros are sweet. I hate sweet beers. And since you're from NJ, [highlight]you should go to the High Point/Ramstein brewery in Butler.[/highlight] They brew almost exclusively wheat beers - the beers that Blue Moon tries to emulate.

Anyway, anyone from NJ do everyone else a favor and cut through Easton and get some Weyerbacher to share with everyone.

thanks for the tip, i'll have to do a field trip sometime soon.

i recently moved & the liquor stores i've checked out so far are horrendous.  just the typical beers sold in 40's, 6-packs or 12-packs if you want bud light.  ICK!

made a side trip to my old purveyor & they had slim pickings.  so, i just grabbed a couple 6's of anchor steam.  i'll share or trade with whomever.  

just super psyched for saturday!  :D

Awesome, you guys!  I'm psyched too   :)

I think I'm going to bring a little sampler - New Glarus Black Wheat, New Glarus Cran-bic (cranberry lambic), Tyranena Rocky's Revenge (aged in bourbon barrels), Ale Asylum Tripel Nova, maybe some Magic Hat Vinyl and a bomber of Goose Island Sofie if it'll fit in the suitcase...

Let me know if you have any requests from Goose Island or Three Floyds and I can try to bring them!

Is this a seperate event or a subsection of the other MPP tailgate?

Sounds great to me.

ps.  sorry if I'm a little confused, I quit reading setlists after last week (if there are changes this week, I want to be surprised, so I'm trying not to read many threads at all because you never know where you are getting "spoiled")

Are we sure we can tailgate at the MPP lot?

I'll bring some Golden Ales and IPAs from the Mayflower Brewery in Plymouth, MA, which just opened for business a few years ago. You can only find their beers in eastern Mass, and mostly south of Boston, but they are growing.  The Golden Ale is one of my faves, local or otherwise.  It's not too sweet and very tasty!  Their IPA is just a typical IPA, but it gets you drunk.

I got 12 Widmer Bros Drop Top Ales..Im going to pick up a case of something else, but it might just me something for easy drinking like Labatt's.

So is everyone just carrying their cooler to the flag then??

Just thought about this  ;D

I've got about 18 get funky headbands to give away... I would post a pick but that would spoil it for everyone
Oh I'll never say I knew you, but my heart can't wait to meet you on the other side

She shall receive one then!  I tried to match the flag's color to the headbands but I was fighting the ink in the studio and the material so it's not quite there.

I miscounted- I only have 17... I should have made more... perhaps next time! Aside from bluesky getting one for making the flag I'm just going to try and hand them out first come first serve so- beer or no beer- if I see you before I run out, you are sure to get one.  Were you able to get pit tickets?

Of course my intention was to bribe you all with gifts so I could get a rail spot right in front of Jim. That way I could try and pass 5 headbands up to the band, maybe they would wear them?

slimslo, I couldn't find any Gumballhead   :-[ They said they haven't resumed their regular shipping schedule since Dark Lord Day.

I have a stray bottle of 3Floyds Pride & Joy Mild Ale I'd be happy to bring, if you want.  Let me know!

I was just reminiscing about this as I was getting ready for work this morning.

I still can't believe ALady packed up all that beer and brought it on the plane with her!  Just one of those things that make this group so special, and one of the little tidbits I will remember for years to come!

Miss you all, can't wait to see some of you on 2.12 ;)  We will miss you ALady, and the others who won't be able to make it!  But see you at the next SHOW!
