Yep, though I would imagine he just has whatever router the cable company gave him, so it probably maxes out with just a handful of connections.

He just got an order from 12% Importers in NYC. None of this stuff has been available in Buffalo before. Info on what he got @ http://www.ratebeer.com/forums/12-impor ... 154648.htm

Well we are 3 tickets away from the magic number so it's pretty safe to say this is going to happen. Thanks to all for getting tickets and we've still got lots of space on the bus for more.

Then this will pretty much 100% be happening - a couple I know are going to buy tickets, they are convincing another couple of people to join in - and I pimped it to a few people at Cask Days over the weekend.

Good work! I'm looking forward to the trip down, and spending a good many hours drinking fine beer at the blue monk. I'm also looking forward to strolling up to cole's and using goodbar's excellent washroom facilities.

I wish i could go, but am already committed to play in a soccer tournament that day. I will be making a trip to Buffalo in December, so i will finally get to see the Blue Monk in operation, as i was lucky enough to get a sneak peak tour in August when construction and preparations were still going on.

Enjoy the trip all, sounds like a great one, Good Job to Cass for organizing.

I will be making my first visit to Blue Monk on Friday (November 5) - my sister is taking me to lunch! With luck I won't have to drive until about 7pm that night, so I should be able to have at least 3 beers for a change. I will report first impressions over the weekend, if anyone's interested.

We are 1 ticket away from the magic number so this trip is happening. Lots of space for those who still want to come!

Hit it! Thanks Belgian. Well it's now "officially" on!

Looking forward to it.

Still tickets available, of course.
