Well, the Tango could make an appearance.


I've got about 5 beers from Quidi Vidi to share too, and some of those certainly qualify in the corn lager category Mike.

But no worries man, they'll be bottles of house wine for ya.

2nd day? Are You kidding? For those of us who travel to London, I think we'll be heading home on the Sunday.

Cheers, Doug

The 750's of Belgians seem to be building up in my cellar... some of them would be like 4 beers in one sitting (which I don't frequently do), and some I'd like to have back-to-back! They'd be great for a tasting.

I've got November 13th off (Rememberance Day observed).

What you need to do is car pool, get someone REALLY stinkin' drunk, then hope they won't feel like drinking on the second day!
