Philly Area BN Meetup - Round 2

[ThirdDegree]

Earth Bread & McMenamins are two great spots for us to hit at some point. I think it's a great idea to hit them and General Lafayette for Round 3 in March!

any thoughts to places closer to (in) the city? Has anyone been to Hawthornes yet? I have a friend at belgian cafe who may let us bring a few homebrews inside.

I think the first meetup (and upcoming second) was in the NW suburbs because it was a convenient spot for most of the folks who replied to the original thread that they could make it.

That said, Center City is definitely an area we need to consider for a future meetup. There are obviously tons of places we could design crawls around. If you know someone at the Belgian Cafe who would allow homebrews then we should seriously consider it for future meetups. Maybe we could plan a future meetup in Center City that starts around lunchtime on a Saturday. That way, we could give ourselves more time to hit a few places before they got really crowded (i.e. Monk's).

Having all us BN Army members in an area with so many places to meet is a great problem to have.

22/23 is no good for me. BUT I'm pretty sure that won't stop you guys form getting together. I'll try and work it out, but as for now I'm out.

I can do the 23rd, I will arrive pretty late. I was asked to help judge a local homebrew and chili cook off that day. But I think it ends at 8 or 8:30.

Sorry I dropped the ball on finding a byob place. I must say holidays in a restaurant are way busier than holidays in a mall. I have to check my schedule again, but I think I might actually be off on the 22nd, or at least a lunch shift...either way the 23rd is the better day.

Sorry, I forgot to ask if someone more computer-literate than I wants to make a Poll for this thread to truly determine which day would work best for the most people.
