Hoo boy, I can’t remember when I’ve seen a more amusing thread on a beer blog!

Hmmmmmmmmm Jeff. I have gone before, 8 years ago, but I was pregnant and had a good time drinking the free root beer (for those driving or children or prego). Jon wants to go to have "his" vacation and no distractions as he writes up his notes. That is up to him, but as far as offering up a DD, I have offered, if the family goes to portland.

Personally, I think a "no woman" rule is crap and because this is Jon's blog and he is very serious about his critiquing of beer, I will refrain from what I really think and just go with that.

You wouldn’t let us go with you because we might "ruin your experience".

lol! We started a tradition many years back of going to the fest on Friday and we had a strict "no women" rule until five pm. But it started when they weren’t as interested in beer and detracted from our serious drinking. Now all the women I know (except one, whom I’m converting) like beer as well as we do, and so the whole system seems unnecessary. So this is heartily amusing.

You might want to call Justin and let him know YOUR plans with him, cause it’s been months since you talked about it and where you’re staying.

Oh, did you remember to take off work

I’ll be there Thursday and Friday. My first OBF and my first time enjoying a beerfest with a press credential. Looking forward to it.

BOR: The family might come to Portland with me (don’t know for sure yet), but they’d likely not attend the fest.

Cuppas: I’m making my list of must-tries too. I’ll be posting that sometime soon.

Ah, I saw the Belmont Station meetup you’re putting together on Sunday, but unfortunately that’s the day I’m leaving back for Bend… so I can’t make it. Bummer.

And, nice shirt too.
