Message IPFreely beers 1470 º places 143 º 12:17 Fri 2/14/2014 3 Heads and Roc are possibilities, too. Getting some of the Canadian breweries, namely Bellwoods and Great Lakes, on board are solid ideas
Message rudolf beers 2359 º places 104 º 12:29 Fri 2/14/2014 Right, Dan from 3 Heads is an old school ratebeer guy. Blackbird has been contacted. I’ll shoot a text to Mike @ Great Lakes Ontario in a few minutes.
Message UDBeernut beers 2883 º places 348 º 16:53 Fri 2/14/2014 u da man, I will contact swoop and pod guy tomorrow about Tour day dinner and welcoming party.

Message rudolf beers 2359 º places 104 º 17:05 Fri 2/14/2014 Mike is in Sochi. Unsure how responsive he will be until he gets back but he has posted to Facebook a few times.
Message jercraigs P beers 14915 º places 1052 º 10:02 Sat 2/15/2014 Worst case maybe CBW could do a bunch of collaboration brews with Toronto brewers? Or import some kegs? Not sure how doable that is. Or even have say a dinner in Toronto before/after things start in Buffalo? Leave border crossings up to individuals rather than trying to organize it as a group.
Message UDBeernut beers 2883 º places 348 º 15:03 Sat 2/15/2014 i thought about an event on that side, my concern would be border xing times. maybe sunday would be a good day for that... but people will be looking to fly out.
Message merc7186 beers 3160 º places 208 º 16:42 Sat 2/15/2014 Originally posted by UDBeernut Originally posted by blipp Looks great. I would also suggest contacting some of the Rochester area brewers for sponsorships/donations. Rohrbach, Custom Brewcrafters, even Genesee maybe. anyone want to help me with this part? Off the top of my head here is who I think may be interested in support/sourcing kegs: Consumers Premier ABW VBM Flying Bison Ellicottville Hamburg Gene McCarthy’s Pearl Street (yeah, I know) Rohrbach Southern Tier Genesse Custom Brewcrafters Community Beer Works Woodcock Bros Big Ditch Ithaca Horseheads any others I miss. I would like to work n these over the weekend and I’d appreciate some help. ...don’t forget Naked Dove and Becker. Also, you may want to talk to Bill Metzger about picking his brain at least...he may know one or two people in the area. :)

Message MacBoost beers 2074 º places 37 º 17:41 Sat 2/15/2014 Maybe get Ithaca to send a keg of that last batch of LeBleu they have stashed away.
Message UDBeernut beers 2883 º places 348 º 17:54 Sat 2/15/2014 alright, I contacted Southern Tier, Hamburg, Gene McCarthys, Flying Bison, Woodcock, Pizza Plant, Ithaca, Big Ditch. I will get around to getting with bottleshops and Rochester places tomorrow.
