Taking about hotels, using Priceline, 3.5* in Syracuse University area, you can get the Crowne Plaza for 60-70$, and 3*, the Park View, both with free parking, and walking distance to the bar area.

Oh, and the CNY brewfest is on this week end.

Thanks to all that come over! We had a great time, over 10 beers tasted, all big bottles and big beers, good food, and most important, good people!

Ian, would be great to post some pics.

Cheers

For those of you coming, you can start arriving between 6 and 7pm.

I can host, as I have plenty of space.

Shillington and Merivale area (Westgate Mall), close to the 417, plenty of parking.

If you can bring your glassware (but I do have lots too...)

How does that sound?

Yeah, that's it. 'ae' is used in place of ä (a with an umlaut ). It changes the pronunciation from Hoff-brow to Hoff-broy. And that's your German lesson for the day!
