Unfortunately that date never worked for me. 
I'll be in Bordeaux drinking wine and eating like a king.

Re: Hoptoberfest 2012
I'll be there with a keg of IPA in tow. Not sure about food yet, but I'll bring some kind of side or desert.
So just to be clear, this is at your place X?

I'll bring a few bottles of my wet hop 'experiment'. Looking forward to meeting the lot of you. Bring some snack food I guess?

What's you pointdexter wrote:its a shame about the timing as its the same as the wine fair.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Hoptoberfest 2012
Sorry if it sounds like we're shitting on your parade but...... fuck the snooty wine tasting and save a hundred or two at the same time! There will be a shit-ton of world class beer there that you may find in places like eBay for a c-note or two per pop. Beer is the new wine, actually that saying is getting old now. Oh yeah and it's all basically freedexter wrote:its a shame about the timing as its the same as the wine fair.
