I just thought I’d post something on here for a change.

Hope to be in your area for a while Dec/Jan, so if you are organizing a Gathering over that period I can bring some UK goodies for the ’Grand Tasting’.

Someone plan it and I’ll be there.

Same as Bobby for me. I’m not in the area anymore, so it wouldn’t be as easy for me to plan. A lot of new-ish breweries in LA/OC and I have no connections in San Diego.

I also think the west coast may be a non-starter for a lot of people, too. Two straight years of RBWG/RB Best in California, RBSG in Portland in 2015, and RBSG 2017 in Idaho is a lot of western US focused events.

I’m not at a point in my life where I can take the lead on something like this, but I would definitely be available to help out. I have contacts at Ballast Point and Karl Strauss, both of which would probably have the space to host a welcome dinner or something like that.

I plan to put a proposal together and have a few connections along with someone willing to help me plan who also has a few more connections. I know that we can put out a solid plan.

Hope you have managed to get that proposal done. Looking forward to seeing all of them really, but realistically a SoCal venue would be my only option (if the dates fitted).

If there is anything I can do to help out, please let me know.

So I ended up spending 4 of the last 8 weeks in Italy, 1 week in Colorado, 1 week in LA and 1 week in DC, so I have not been able to really put anything together. At this point anything I throw together would not include any commitments from breweries, etc. I have some good contacts and continue to meet people in the local industry so I hope to put something together for an upcoming gathering, but not the next one.

Ok, announcing that the schedule is changing may give me the time to put this together after all.
