Sounds delicious. I have a schwarzbier finishing up. Too bad it wasn't ready in time for this meeting.

[Megastout]

Damn, don't have any of those. I will grab something, probably have 20 different ones to pick from right now. Look forward to seeing everyone.

Guys, my apologies. I totally spaced on tonight and missed out on this. Jon if you can email me over the notes I'd be happy to type it up. Did anyone get down who brought what beers to share?

Too busy for my own good during the day. Serious apology guys, I screwed up on this one.
