Message Cokemonkey11 beers 1756 º places 4 º 07:02 Mon 9/25/2017 I would be interested if this were in 2018. Tennessee and Anchorage are beyond my budget, though. Would be interested in Dublin, Glasgow, Amsterdam, Brugges, Stavenger, Oslo, Stockholm, anywhere in Germany, Copenhagen, Aarhus, Vienna, Zurich

Message hayduke beers 6098 º places 23 º 11:09 Tue 9/26/2017 I am wondering as the deadline get closer and it has gotten so quiet here, if anyone is actively working on a proposal. I hope no one was scared off by all the comments about cold weather. I would of course like to go where it is warm but I will go anywhere where there is good beer and good company, as long as the airport stays open. It would be a shame if the RBWG did not happen.

I second this. Even if the gathering happened in Reykjavik, I would be up for it. Not everyone is afraid of cold weather!
Message Strykzone beers 8457 º places 152 º 18:40 Tue 9/26/2017 We will find out soon whether any proposals are submitted. I propose a Plan B if none are. Plan B would involve a vote on a city that we visit as a group. We can work up an itinerary to visit breweries and do it as a less organized (but still very fun) event.
Message jbruner beers 9247 º places 466 º 00:07 Wed 9/27/2017 I could throw together a shoddy 3 day plan of all the Atlanta hotness from memory, but not sure I have time to actually go and confirm things or find buses. I think there are only like 4 active Ratebeerians in Atlanta area, and don't think I've ever met them.

I think there is at least one proposal in the works.

Message MacBoost beers 2074 º places 37 º 09:24 Sun 10/1/2017 Yeah, Iowa City for starters
Message cards04 beers 3164 º places 173 º 13:27 Sun 10/1/2017 Is there more to Iowa city then what the ratebeer places list says? I only ask because it seems a bit limited. I'm also guessing it doesn't take very long to get to surrounding areas and their beer scenes. Looking forward to your proposal.
