How about more than 12 hours notice next time, lol. :-):-)

Sounds great, and if you let me/us know a little earlier next time I will definitely be down to support.... :-)

Sounds very cool, Richard...interested to hear how that Southern Tier Crème Brulee is as a "dessert" beer.

I had an Irish 7-course beer dinner a few nights ago...






...6 pints of Guinness and a potato.

shotgun! :-)


Sounds good Richard, bring the leftovers to Carlos's house on 10/2 :-)

That is a legitimate dinner, guinness = a full meal itself, add the potato I bet you couldn't eat anymore.

The last two courses sound like great pairings. I have never thought of an Octoberfest with BBQ. Sounds like a great combo with a spicy sweet sauce. Time to fire up the WSM and get to the liquor store.
