How about some Old Milwaukee.

You know it tastes as great as its name. Pffffft, I can't believe that was their slogan for so long.

I'm in, but Texas doesn't do many GOOD beers... Lonestar = horse-P... same with Pearl.

I'll find some Ziegen Bock... I like Shiner better, but it will be a change from the post offered above.

Hey now I like Lone Star. For an everyday beer I think its great. It certainly isn't a specialty beer but it's still better than most of the major offerings.

Ok, I haven't read the WHOLE thread, but a lot of it. Didn't notice anyone else offer to bring anything from Pennsylvania Brewing (Penn Brewery) on the north side of Pittsburgh - the first microbrewery in Pittsburgh. I'd be happy to bring a sampler case for the swap. Good stuff for anyone who hasn't tried their beers!

I've never sampled that stuff so I'll be looking forward to it. You're on the list.

I was in South Dakota chasing some pheasants last week and had some Moose Drool from Montana that was very good. Anyone coming from that direction?

You're the 2nd one to request Moose Drool. No one has stepped forward yet to say they can bring that.

Matt,
If Chad's bringing the Bells Oberon, put me down for the Dragons Breath and maybe on of the Belgian beers on the menu. http://www.dragonmead.com/Menu_Items.htm I will see if I can talk Chad into sampling a few soon

i'll trade anything i can bring from Chicago, Goose Island, Two Brothers, Berghoff, name it and i'll bring it.

Founders and Bell's are pretty readily available in Chicago and i'll be happy to bring some of both.

WriteStuff, New Glarus would be great - Spotted Cow, Uff Da, or Hearty Hop

Anyone coming from western Michigan... any of the rarer Bells beers would be appreciated. As my good friend Jorgeaz said... we can bring you any Chicago related beers to trade. There's always plenty of room in the boot

What's Chad's userid? That's how I'm tracking y'all. I have down agokart as bringing Bell's but I don't think he specified which Bell's he's bringing. And we can do that a little further down. For now Xanda I'll put you down as Bell's as well and closer to MOTD we'll work out who's bringing what.

Y'all work out amonst yourselves which Chicago beers to bring/ I've never been so I couldn't say "please bring these...".

But I'll add you to the list as a willing participant Gabe.

Whoever is shopping for Bell's, look for Two Hearted IPA and Coffee Stout. A couple of hardy ones to warm your innards. If I come I'll bring some Michigan Brewing Company products...definitely the High Seas IPA, a hopheads dream!

Wow! Those *rock*! The lizard looks more a muscled iguana than a dragon, but that's not a bad thing; this whole "dragon" thing is kind of overblown, in my opinion. In terms of layout, I like the title/lizard orientation on the first one, but without the dateline jutting out past the title in the 2nd. Y'know, for t-shirt purposes. :-) Actually, just the beer-holding lizard would make a cool decal...

If I don't stop with this decal stuff, I'm gonna run out of room on my car! :-)

If there is enough interest for t-shirts (at least 12 people or 12 shirts) I will see about having them made. Once enough interest is shown we can vote on the design. Or have one of these edited.

I would take a XL. I think the design is great. I am so looking forward to this. Good beer and new friends - it doesn't get any better than that.

PS. May want to add the year to whatever design.
