I will be there, and I will bring beer. I don't like IPAs though.
I have a love of Porters myself, Great Lakes makes a good one, might have to bring some along
+1 on the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. Good stuff, but rare in Michigan of all places

why would they name their beer after a ship that disappeared in a bad storm?
C'mon guys, it's Rolex. Bring the Dom and CourvoIsier. :D
I'll likely bring some beer, but I'll be busy in T&S when you have your party.

From: http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/uploads/Beer/Profile%20Edmund%20Fitzgerald.pdf
Name Origin: Sure, Gordon Lightfoot hasn’t
penned an ode to it (yet), but this porter is
song-worthy—much like its legendary namesake
ship that frequently docked in Cleveland and
tragically sunk in Lake Superior in 1975 with
many Northeast Ohioans on board.

Follow along for origins of other beers from GLBC with names like Burning River, Commodore Perry and Elliot Ness

I totally understand why people don't like IPA or Russian Imperial Stout. I just pity them.
Belgian Abbey ales are my personal favorite. I'm quite pleased with Grimbergen Double, especially since it costs about the same as a domestic craft brew:

I'm bringing my crown royale black and some dewars 12 for night time festivities. Daytime will mostly consist of natural light since it A) is refreshing B) Cheap c) gets the job done 4) hydrates you whilst also raising your blood alcohol content. I can't do heavy beers and being outside no matter how cold it may be, just doesn't do my stomach any justice for some reason.
just so you know I can take all the flame you want to send my way........ I DRINK MILLER LITE AND LIKE IT....

No, he's showing us how he sneaks vodka into The Magic Kingdom (which is a dry park, in case you've never been there) during Gay Days.
Been there, probably the most fun time to sit and watch people. You have the families with kids and a sea of people that the parents are trying to avoid. So funny.

I just got some "Big Flats" from walgreens because it was $3.00 a six pack. It tastes like... Beer. Honestly not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Please don't call my kid gay. Unless he gets tangled up with Winona Ryder and ends up whacked in some sort of staged forest crime scene. In that case, just for the record, I love my dead gay son.
