sounds like good f.uckin times ..bro...have fun.drink a couple for me.....cheers
Yeah, we should be pretty safe. We're only going to have samplers at lunch and then buy growlers or bottles to go. There will be at least 3 of us, so we'll have some DDs too if we need it. I might borrow my parents RV too, in case we need to sleep off some beers after our lunches. It should be fun, and I'll let you all know about it.
Nice, sounds like a much better idea now LOL.

We plan on doing it next year too, depending on whether we can stand each other this year. The plan is to go up through Nebraska, over to Cheyenne (maybe hit Snake River!!!), down to Ft. Collins for a couple of days (6 breweries/brewpubs) and then back home, stopping in Beaver, Kansas at Mo's Place and maybe Little Apple in Manhattan, KS. We're hoping to make it a yearly thing.
I did that as a joke to my friend who said that we needed an exact schedule in case someone else came with us who wanted to do other things. So I figured I would, just to be funny. Now he told me that we have to stick to it. Yeah, I know, not too likely. But at least we have it.
