WHAT: Pre-GABF Party
WHEN: Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2005 - from 5:00 pm.
Arrive whenever you want or can. Feel free to pop in and out if you have other activities.
WHERE: Logan's loft (NOTE: Logan no longer lives at this address):
Logan Perkins
1565 California St. #607
Denver, CO 80202
303 408-0069
BUILDING ENTRANCE: Make sure you enter in 1565 California. Look for Perkins on the list and press 1-2-3 to ring me. As it may be crazy in my place, don't give up if I don't answer the first time...try again! Bring these directions!
TO BRING: Your local Belgian-style brews and/or real Belgian brews (e.g. Cantillon, Westys). Beers not found in Colorado (e.g. Southampton, Alesmith, Heavyweight, Dark Horse, Jolly Pumpkin, Old Dominion). One-off, aged, homebrewed, seasonal, monster brews in growlers, and beers that won't be at the GABF are especially welcome, or good brewery schwag! Age-able beer contributions for my cellar are always appreciated. A financial contribution towards snacks and restocking is a welcome alternative to beer. An RSVP would be useful. Nibbly bits are fine (good bread and cheese).
WHY: Good, Aged & Wild Beers! Socialization with Babblers (http://www.babblebelt.com/board.html) and others from across the country and world! Plus, the view from my place of the Rockies, the new Convention Center (home of GABF) and the almost completed 38 story Hyatt is spectacular(arrive before sunset for great views).
SHIPPING BEER: I can assist those that wish to ship beer here in advance.
