Beers you are bringing (Limited Discussion!)

Please use this thread to post what beer you are planning on bringing to the Brew Swap if you are attending. The most important piece of information will be which Brewer(s) beer you will be bringing. So even if you don't know the specific styles, please list the Brewer.

Use this thread as a basis for what you plan to bring. If you see 3 people bringing beer from Goose Island Brewing then maybe you should find another Brewer to bring. I would advise you all to be willing to contact each other so you can coordinate your beers if you are from the same are.

PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC AND DO NOT BEGIN RAMBLING ON ABOUT OTHER THINGS! THERE IS A BREW SWAP THREAD WHERE YOU CAN DISCUSS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING RELATED TO THE EVENT.

This thread is to keep you from having to sort through pages and pages of conversation just to see if someone is bringing your beer. You should also be checking http://dragonbrewswap.com/beers/ as that is where I'll be keeping a list as well.

My wife wants to bring a couple of growlers from the Broad Ripple Brew Pub, I'll have a better idea as to what is on tap closer to the event (Probably at least an IPA). I'm considering something from Oaken Barrel or Three Floyds. I'll get together with some of the other MINICCI guys and come up with a nice local mix.

I will be bringing Penn Brewery Again. However, this year I will be bringing the Penn Marzen which is a favorite of mine.



- I haven't decided, but I might also bring another variety. Probably either the Penn Dark or the Penn Gold. Both have won awards. Too bad their Mai Bock is only available on draft - mmmmmmm, Yummy!!!!

I'll be bringing:
Engelramm Brewing Company (homebrew)
Cold Cold Ground - Oatmeal Stout
Amarillo Amber - American Amber Ale

Both of these are entered in the Homebrew Competition and there will be plenty to trade.

If I can get another batch brewed and conditioned by May, I'll be bringing an English Pale Ale (not yet named )

Ok, so far I know I'm bringing the Coffee Oatmeal Stout from Terrapin (this was pretty popular last year, not for the faint of heart)
I will do some searching in the next couple of weeks to narrow down my other choices and will post.

I will be bringing an asortment of local/regional beers from the midwest: Goose Island - an excellent craft brewer, Two Brothers - from Rockford IL, Three Floyds - from Hammon IN, and perhaps more.

i have a very specific request though.

i ask that anybody coming from the pacific northwest or parts near, bring Deschutes Mirrorpond and/or Full Sail (Rip Curl specifically), stouts and porters would also be great if the mood strikes.

bring as much as you can carry in your MINI, or check into luggage, and i will gladly pay the freight.

i will be eternally grateful to the one who trucks a load all the way to NC for me.

Ok, who's bringing the Yuengling????

I have most of the bottles from last year and DH and I remember well what beers were our faves. That Church one is fabulous, can't wait.

I'm also trying to get some Dogwood, not sure which yet.

There should be a decent contingent from Pennsylvania again this year. I'll see if any of them can bring Yuengling.
