Hi all,

I hope people planning to come to the JNUC bottle share all see this, please share it with those you think wont see it.

I just wanted to do a bit of an update about the event, JAMF are hosting at their office, but there will not be food provided by them, I think it might be a good idea to grab something before coming, or we could order some pizza's if people want?

Also this has now got way bigger than we thought it would, and I wanted to confirm that the idea here is that people bring along beer as well, its not a sponsored event so we can only taste what people bring to share. At the moment we don't really know how it will work as there is so many people and there is only so many tastes you can get out of a bottle, so we will have to wing it a bit think, pro beer tasters chime in with ideas?

It does get tough depending on bottle size and popularity. What are we doing for cups? If we can try to keep it to 2 oz pours or under it will go a lot further overall. I am also going to refrain from anything that I have had before so that those that have not can enjoy. It may get tricky with a high number - but think it's only fair to expect contribution for participation.

Wish I'd be able to make this event. I actually brought some beer from Green Bay that you can't really get outside of it. Small brewery called Stillmank. If I have a can or two left over (depends on how much I want to drink tonight), is there someone I can get it to at the JNUC tomorrow as a donation to the event? Email me mbrown8705@gmail.com

The good news is that my beers arrived in tact - so I'm definitely in!

Are there take out places near the Jamf office? There's Italian and Thai take out near Aloft where I'm staying. Eating before might make it less complicated.

Heady Topper comes in 16 oz cans, with 4 oz. portions we'd get about 32 pours from 8 cans. There's a liquor store and a market on Washington Ave. I'll see if they have something that will work.

I'm at andrewsk at champlain dot edu if anyone is walking or driving from aloft to keep me from getting lost.

Hey all,

I'll be heading over to the office around 3pm today and can take any bottles you would like to drop off at that time for refrigeration. I'll also make sure that we have sample cups.

Please bring something to share if you are looking to participate and please try to make it by 6pm so that we can get started herding the cats right away, and also so that we can ensure that you have office access. Our office connects to various government buildings so after 6pm security gets tighter.

As someone else mentioned eating before is probably the easiest, (and from a "I'm going to sample a bunch of beer" standpoint, probably advised) but we can definitely order in as well.

Being unfamiliar with the JAMF offices, is there available parking?

Maybe I missed this in the #VENUE thread, but do we have an address for the JAMF offices? Are we heading to the 301 4th Ave S #1075 address?

And @charliwest - I'm guessing that running out of beer won't be a problem. Looking at @emilykausalik's spreadsheet it appears that most people are bringing more than they will be drinking.

There is a parking ramp across from crooked pint or you could also just park In their lot.

Please use the 4th ave entrance to the office and take the elevator to the 10th floor.

Hi all,

There is on-street, metered parking in front of the building at the address above (North Tower of The Grain Exchange) and nearby- don't park on the 3rd street side, they start ticketing cars there after 3:00 I believe

The nearest parking ramps are these two:
Gateway: http://www.alliedparkinginc.com/parking/gateway-parking-ramp
Haaf: http://www.alliedparkinginc.com/parking/gateway-parking-ramp

But we don't have a free parking lot, or anything like that. If you are already parked at the Guthrie, it's an easy 10 minute walk, I wouldn't drive over on such a nice day if you don't mind the walk. It's about 6 blocks from the front door of the Guthrie to our office- take the elevator to the 10th floor when you get here.

I think I'll walk since I don't have any bottles and I'm just taggin along for funsies. Anyone want to meet outside Aloft or something and walk over together? I can help carry a cooler or push a cooler or whatever. Maybe we can "borrow" an Aloft luggage cart…

Plan to start at 5, getting there before 6 is needed to make it easier to get in, if u arrive after 6 there is tsa level security to get through ;)

If folks want to arrive at 5-ish, I think starting congregating around 4:30 and leaving by 4:45 should work. I probably shouldn't lead, though, as I have no clue where the place is.

pulls up Google Maps for walking directions
