the couple Saturdays I've gone there around 230-300 I think I was the first person to show up. Not sure how busy they get later on.

Guess I would lean toward visiting BNektar on Saturday. They have not had too many issues with me bringing bottles and sharing with them in the past. Although I haven't seen
Brad or Paul at a tasting in a while...

Seems like its been Ian there most often now, but I have seen people bringing in their meads for the guys to taste. I'm up for B Nektar and lunch, it's been a a month or so since I've been there and I know they've had a couple new releases since last I've been there.

Any other opinions or is it B Nektar on the 26th by default lol?

OK, I guess it's B Nektar on Saturday May 26th.

How does 2pm sound and after we find something like Coney for late lunch/early dinner?

I knew it was going to be one of those weekends where either everyone would be free or half would be gone. Seems half will be gone, but the other half of us will have a good time.

Hope everyone heading out of town has fun time and a safe trip.

Hopefully those who said they were going to be able to make it out haven't forgotten that we planned this for 2 o'clock today :)

Yes, I almost forgot!

Had a great time with Skunkboy and the guys from B Nektar. The Evil Genius IPA inspired Mead was really good as was this latest batch of Cherry Chipotle.

B Nektar is going massive for Mead Day this year which is the first Saturday in August so we should get something planned to head up there. Plus if anyone has suggestions for a location and date for late June/early July throw out the ideas so we can plan early.
