day after my last exam... I'll be going.

I'd be up for coming out.
Likely have a growler or two of my vanilla blonde if you guys don'd mind drinking from a festa kit

I prefer to drink from a glass, but to each his own.

I'm going to try and make this meeting, and bring a bottle of each of my brews for some critism

I was thinking about hosting this one if folks don't mind a trek out to Timberlea (5 min from Bayers Lake)?

I don't mind, although we should decide soon in order to work out some carpooling arrangements. Anyone opposed to Tim(berlea) hosting?

I'd love to see you host! I live in Tantallon!

It'd be nice to see a meeting or two off of the peninsula.

Sackville here, was trying to figure out how I would get to this event without a car.

TimG · Post by **TimG** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 2:09 pm

So two (or three..) votes for a Timberlea location.

Downs, check out the bus schedule, a transfer to the 21 might work out for you?

Tim

My recollection is that coming from Sackville by bus it's difficult to connect with anything going to Lacewood, where one would catch the 21. Maybe 16 or 18 along the Dreadford Highway, but at that time of night the waits would likely be long. Another possibility is to take the 89 from Cobequid to Lacewood, although I've never taken it and don't know how late it runs.

google maps, select transit. Its sync'd with the HRM bus schedules.....no comment on the buses actually following the schedule

Ok folks, not sure how much interest there is but I'm still all for hosting. Please PM me or check the mailing list for my address. Typical 7:30 start.

Was planning on hosting here. Had discussed with Chris last week, guess no one posted.

Not altogether interested in going too far out of town.

Hasn't been here in a while.

Brewnoser · Post by **Brewnoser** » Sun Dec 11, 2011 11:14 pm

Lots of buses run right by me. 80, 7, 5, 15, 82

I'd prefer of it was in town as well.. a bit easier for car-less me to get to an from. If it does end up being in timberlea, is there anyone who could offer me a drive?

TimG · Post by **TimG** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 9:14 am

Ok folks, sounds like Jeff would like to host as well and others wouldn't mind it being in town, so Jeff's it is. I still plan on being there, looking forward to it.

Cheers

Don't feel discouraged though. We've had successful meetings out of town, such as at John and Anita's in July. Personally I think meetings in places further away work best in spring and summer, but that could just be the guy who biked to Sambro.

TimG · Post by **TimG** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 1:00 pm

No worries, I'll throw my hat in the ring again soon to host.

Downs · Post by **Downs** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 2:06 pm

I was trying to get a buddy to come who could give me a lift.
is that cool?
He brews too, not just some random dude, but realize this is my first meeting also.
I would need location information as well.

Brewnoser · Post by **Brewnoser** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 4:20 pm

Anyone who brews is welcome.

I'd say it is as common for two people to show up the first time as one on their own.

I think we are closing in on our 27th year, by the way. Pretty sure it was 1985 when we started.

I can't make it again thanks to a Christmas concert, but anyone attending the meeting may also want to hit H&T ahead of time for the Propeller/Nash Imperial ESB launch.

Downs · Post by **Downs** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 2:53 pm

Not sure I'll make it out tonight fellas.
Work is picking up and thinking I'll be workin late.

I would have posted the pictures of last night's beers here, but it's too tedious to upload multiple files...

See the lineup at https://plus.google.com/photos/11781022 ... PDE_ZXPmgE

I missed the last 3 or 4 (that were on the table when I left - I wouldn't be surpised if more showed up later...)

We also had three homebrews - including TimG's first all-grain brew, a very nice IPA. Tim kept trying to disclaim responsibility, but I'm sure Hogie was only present as quality control. Be warned Tim, I haven't been as happy with any of my all-grain beers as I was with my first. It's downhill from here!

TimG · Post by **TimG** » Wed Dec 14, 2011 12:59 pm

Thanks for the kind words about the IPA (I am happy with it, though as I said this is really a Brewnosers/Aleanders collaboration beer!).

Good idea on the pictures Derek!
