Whats better to do on St-Patricks than drink good beer.

Who would pass that up for Moosehead with some blue ink in it?

:)

I'm all for the 17th if you guys can make it!

I like Ian's idea of trying to focus on a single brewery at the tasting. From the list he posted I could do something with a Fullers, Stone, Dogfish or Nogne tasting. And if we know the brewery focus in advance, I can always prepare by picking up their beers in trips to the states.

My place is best suited for tastings in the spring-summer-fall when I can utilize the backyard. So keep my place in mind for something between May and October.

March 17 does not work for me as I have family flying in for the weekend. If the date sticks I will have to pass until get together #3 is scheduled.

So do we have another volunteer for hosting a March 17th tasting?

Zuma seems to be as dependable as a Maple Leafs Goalie... only good May-September :)

I love you Jason!

That hurts Ian...although I will admit my Leafs are streaky...regardless of if you like the Habs or the Sens I don't think any of us can claim to have a good team right now!

Let me check with better/worse half about hosting - should be ok.
