Hello fellow festivarians. My buddy and I are trying to set up a beer/growler exchange this year. I was hoping that I could get an idea from this wonderful site if it is something that you Lawson hill peeps would be interested in. We are thinking it would be great to try the different beers that all you like to indulge in and meet some great people. Please post your thoughts or ideas. Can’t wait to here back from you! Hope to make some official plans the next couple of months. See you soon…
good idea. would prob be easier if it were a bomber exchange though.
I would be interested in a bottle share of some sorts. I’ll be flying into Telluride rather than driving this year, but I think that I’ll likely be able to squeeze at least a couple into the pack.
I think that a bomber exchange does sound a little easier. Would also bring a little more variety too. Good idea.
Sounds good. Keep me informed. :cheers
I would but we will be in Mary E
Coming from the northwest, and would love to share some of our regions best…put me on the list. Staying at Lawson…
Would be into this, coming from Oregon and staying on Lawson Hill, could definitely throw some extra 22s in the car.
Sweet, another Oregonian making the journey. We are coming from Salem?..did you catch the recent pass through of Greensky?, good times!..so glad they will be at telluride again. Looking forward to sharing some suds and good tunes…Jeff
Yeah did the pdx show, green sky never fails to impress. Can’t wait to see them at telluride!
I brew at a small craft brewery in the Vail Valley and would love to supply plenty of growlers, bombers and cans, for the exchange! Great idea!
I’m coming from Asheville, NC. Could prob bring a bottle of something great local but I’m also traveling light so prob not a lot.
we’re driving out from NH this year, so we’ll have room to bring a variety of tasty brews from New England :drunk

we’ll be camping in Town Park but if Lawson friends are up for sampling we’ll figure something out :cheers

I would like to participate in some sort of bottle share, but I’ll be staying in town and not at a campsite. It seems like we have people in various campsites and folks in town that would want to participate. Is there some sort of communal place that everyone could meet up to partake?
I seem to recall that the Telluride Brewery was willing to host a similar event last year although it ended up happening in Town Park before the festival.
I’m sure the local sheriff would frown on a public place in the streets or a park.
Maybe someone can check with the brewery and see if they want to host it.
The only issue there would be having to go out of town to get there and back.
Flying in from Cleveland. Getting to Telluride Tuesday, we can get some growlers of the local Telluride brews to add to the mix :flower :cheers
picking up some fresh New England brews this weekend to bring to Telluride …
happy to share tasty ales with friends who love good beer :cheers
we’ll be camping in Town Park, but could meet beerfolk elsewhere if you’re up for sampling ?
guessing it’d be easier for us to ride a bus to Lawson Hill with brews than it would be to set up a beer sampling in town somewhere ? do they allow Town Park campers to enter Lawson Hill campground ?
FirstGrass seems like a righteous time for beer sampling … anywhere within earshot of that stage good for beer sampling ?
a sample of beers we’ll be bringing

FirstGrass might be a great time for everyone to meet up and I would be interested in that.
I’m flying into Telluride this year and not sure yet how much room/weight I’ll be able to give up for beer yet, but I will be at the very least have these two…
This sounds like a great idea!! I home brew and will be bringing a couple cases of a batch I made for the festival. Would love to share and trade at a get together. Where and when is this going down??
:cheers
It doesn’t appear to have gained much traction, but I am still game for a bottle share. We could meet in front of Poachers Pub/stage (or whatever that bar is called in the corner by the circle drive). Firstgrass starts at 5pm, so I’m not sure if we would want to meet up at 5? :cheers
