Message TheHOFF43 P beers 2045 º places 169 º 13:55 Mon 10/2/2017 The Iowa City proposal has been worked on for years. It is as good of a proposal as you can find with many, many special events involved. Sadly, I do not think my Minneapolis proposal will work. I had it planned, VERY WELL, for the first weekend in February. Hotels are all booked and flights are very expensive though. Not sure why. Sorry for not coming through. We were going to do a Grand Tasting at Surly, had 10-12 nice tours lined up, exclusive one off sours for 3 different places and a sponsored bus ride which was free for all participants. On top of that there was a "welcome wagon" with 100s of free beers donated by stores, breweries and long-time Ratebeerians. The highlight was going to be the food. all donated for the whole weekend. Would have been a flight here and everything else free besides hotel. But its all booked. Cannot find a single room.

Message TheHOFF43 P beers 2045 º places 169 º 23:02 Wed 10/4/2017 No. We have plenty of tourism in the summer. Kills all incentive for my partners to provide what they were. Just bad luck that I didn't know about the super bowl. Minneapolis is much cooler in winter anyway. Beaches are for losers. We have snow banks
Message hayduke beers 6098 º places 23 º 14:37 Mon 10/9/2017 Shucks....Sounds great. This can't be moved to a different weekend?
