Definitely. Great! Then count me in....much appreciated. Will bring a bottle for sharing in addition to cost. Glad you could make it Nick! Thanks, Trevor. Looking forward to it!

Sweet! There are no plans to bring more beers but I’m sure people will. It looks like we have around 12 or 13 people at this point, which means we’ll have about 1.5L each to drink of lambic Gonna be rough! Ryan, we should be able to bottle a bit of each for the folks that can’t make it to share. Your the man! if there is more I can take some (pretty please). I’ll be back for BCTC. There won’t be any left... I’ll see to it.

I’m sleeping in your tent... It was my recollection that Eugene has neither a tent nor the capacity to bring anything but beer to Ommegang. Lucky for him, I’m not so irresponsible(except when it comes to actually arranging rides to & from Cooperstown ). I have a knockoff of Paul’s tent(without Paul’s gentle giant dimensions), along with other survival tools that I could share for simple VIP access to someone’s car cigarette lighter, as to inflate my mattress(es) ...& maybe priority seating to a special beer or two. you are correct sir. I have been told there is a small chance we will have a blow up mattress. But a tent, sleeping bags, or cooler are up in the air.

Message jimmack beers 1223 º places 24 º 19:24 Wed 6/24/2009 Do you think these beers need to be decanted first or can they just be poured from the spigot directly into the glass? I was just thinking that they are going to get shaken up on the drive over to Hoboken and any sediment will likely be disturbed. Perhaps by pouring into a decanter or a pitcher first might allow the sediment to settle. Of course I have no experience with lambics in these kinds of containers so am really just wondering aloud.

Of course I have no experience with lambics in these kinds of containers so am really just wondering aloud. no idea. They are in big bags inside cardboard boxes like boxed wine. There is no way we’d have a decanter big enough anyway. I think going right from the bag will be fine.
Message notalush beers 7124 º places 452 º 19:50 Thu 7/2/2009 I would love to attend this, but the likelihood of Kim going into labor (or having the baby before then) will probably make it impossible. I can imagine the cell phone conversation now: - I’m going into labor! - But I’m in Hoboken drinking lambic. - Get your fucking ass back home NOW!
