I found my people last night. There are a lot of them, and they drink amazing beer. Absolutely amazing beer. I ended up going, and to start off knew only John, the VP, but in pretty short order I had been introduced to the whole party. Spent a good chunk of time chatting with Jeff Jensen (the Jensen of Jensen Liquor). We both have big plans for beer in this town. Of note on the beer tastings, I tried, amongst many quality homebrews: Ommegang's Chocolate Indulgence, New Glarus' Raspberry Tart (mind-blowing ), Serafijn's Tripel, and a year old bottle of Delirium Noel. Smashing.
Also of note, I'm off to the Power Plant Strong Ale Festival in Missouri.

Fantastic - I think I need to join you at one of these Lawrence Brewers' Guild meetings.
And yes - you should totally review a PBR. Hell, I did. 29 out of 100, baby!
By the way, I'm glad you have a beer blog, too. We can keep each other honest as far as maintaining it!
