Please lets just shoot for early August and take it away from the 4th of July. That is what screwed me up on this yearscheerstevo

Ok, so it’s not the big city feel, but how about michigan? We might not be as vocal on the message boards as some of the other cities locals, but there is plenty of good beer to be had and you could probably find pretty cheap accomodations and plane tickets. By that time there will be a Jolly Pumpkin Cafe in Ann Arbor and a brew pub at the brewery.

A nice trip across the state would yield Kuhnhenn, Slows BBQ, Ashleys bar in Ann Arbor, Jolly Pumpkin Cafe, Jolly Pumpkin Brewpub and brewery, Dark Horse, Arcadia, Bells, The Livery, New Holland, Founders and Hopcat (in Grand Rapids), just to name a few. There, convinced?

I was thinking the same thing and I can definitely help with a proposal and contacting some brewers. I’m sure I could talk Joe Short into brewing something especially for RBSG10 and w/ other contacts I have I’m sure we could get something special from JP, Kuhnhenn, etc....

One day could be spent out in the Ann Arbor area (JP’s, Arbor, Ashley’s, Grizzley Peak, etc...)

Another day could be out in the Warren area (Kuhnhenn, Dragonmead, Bastone, Royal Oak, Black Lotus, etc...)

or it could focus on the West side of the state

One day Livery, Bells, Arcadia, Dark Horse

The other day New Holland, Founders, HopCat, Grand Rapids Brewing, BOB, etc....

Cheers, Jeff

How about we have it in Boston and play with the Alstrom Brothers?

The Michigan SG would definitely have some time on the road, because given the choice among D-town/Warren, Ann Arbor, Kalamazizzle and Grand Rapids... there is no choice: you must do them all. Fact. And then beg the Livery and Shorts to send a keg to the GT.

So in this scenario , seems like we’d avoid the 100+ mi. round trips by moving our lodging each night to the next city, which I am totes fine with. If everyone was down for this and FOUR bus trips this could really work.
