Message willisread beers 7331 º places 126 º 22:01 Thu 9/14/2017 So should I throw together a Nashville proposal? Is there a way to see what all is involved in putting a proposal together? I'm happy to work on it.

Message cards04 beers 3164 º places 173 º 10:40 Sat 9/16/2017 Winnipeg is one of the 5 coldest cities in the world (not a great beer scene either). And while I will certainly travel anywhere for the RBWG it would be sweet to see SD, Austin or Tampa out in a bid :) good luck to all proposals though!

Message SpringsLicker beers 4002 º places 158 º 17:26 Sun 9/17/2017 Nashville would be easy for me although I do like when it goes farther south. I'd suggest a back up plan to the walking. A lot of 2 block walks for 4 stops in 20 degrees with lots of wind or 33 degrees rain would make a walking tour a bad plan and that can be the norm for parts of the winter here. And welcome btw. Asheville was cool, but we had a bus and it was one of the better weekends weather wise compared to what it could have been.

Delegate work to qualified people who offer to help.
Message brokensail P admin beers 21480 º places 1691 º 12:47 Tue 9/19/2017 Nashville is fun and easy to get to. It's been a couple years since I was there and seems like a lot of new stuff since then.
Message douglas88 P admin beers 13205 º places 398 º 23:54 Fri 9/22/2017 Originally posted by Travlr Originally posted by pushkinwow Originally posted by GodOfThunder I still think we need a winter gathering in Anchorage for the barleywine festival. That would be incredible +1 one of the few "cold weather" winter locations I could get behind. That said, last time BeerandBlues2 and I went to the fest it was 40+ F (5 C) in Anchorage, so we got out of the city to surrounding breweries pretty easily. even the 7.4 earthquake at 3 AM didn't deter us, one of the brewers was in a club at the time and said that suddenly his dance moves got way better Absolutely. I was there for the fest and it was not bad at all, 29-30. Anchorage is a great place.
