I just wanted to say thank you very much to Cass for organizing such a wonderful and fun trip. Also, props go out to all the great people with whom I drank lots of beer with. I'm glad I can put a face to the name. I can't wait to run into you guys at Smokeless or anywhere else.
Cheers to a great time.

Yes, trip was very good.

Greg is very drunk now. Had many beers on trip, and at Smokless afterwards.

Must sleep now. Sleep good...

I had a great time too. Too bad I missed the night-cap at Joe's. It was great to meet everyone.

So thanks to the Cameron's crew, Ken at Black Oak, Paul at the Pepperwood, Maria, Bill and Al at the Judge, Michael at Chester's and especially Cass for organizing a great day.

Oh yeah, a thanks to Mike the Magic Bus driver. Question: How many stops did you have to make on the way home?

Joe.

Great job, Cass. And I'd certainly like to echo the thanks to all the guys and gals at our numerous destinations! Great hosts indeed.

Having had 24 hours to recover, I'd now like to post a proper thanks to Cass and everyone else involved in making the trip a success. It was a great day & night - good beer & good company!

Here's hoping it won't be too long until the next trip... :wink:

And as for photos, I have 30 or so on my digital camera that I will be sending to Cass soon.

Waa, I had beer Sars and missed all you towelers invading Cameron's brewery.

Sounds like it was a blast, was the weizen at the judge? Any embarrassing stories anyone wants to post?

Cam put up those brewery lights especially for you guys, and his upcoming performance of Macbeerth.

Had an awesome time... loved the Magic Bus, the tunes played, the bus driver, the beer freaks, the beer, the hospitality, and everything else in between.

Three favourites for the day in no particular order... Pepperwood Monkey Brown, Denison Wheat, Corporal Punishment.

Look forward to the next trip...

Sorry, I totally forgot to acknowledge everyone who helped to make the trip a success: Jason and all the guys at Cameron's (who found the Magic Bus), Ken at Black Oak, Paul at the Pepperwood, Maria, Bill and Al at the Judge, Chester (was that his name?) at Beers of the World, and Joe C. and Dan for helping set things up.

Most of all, thanks to everyone who attended!

Top 3, eh?

Denison's and Corporal Punishment would be the top 2 for sure. As for the third, that's a hard call. The unfiltered Black Oak Pale was very nice, and the Old West Amber Lager that Joe and I split at Chester's was good as well. And Pepperwood's Monkey Brown was pretty tasty...

How about a Top 5 instead? :smile:
