"I think music is essential for an event like this too. Brining together garage-rock, and garage-brew for the first time!"

"Ya I like the idea of having a CT Beer Week.  I feel these events always draw great crowds.  We could always do an unoffical ct beer week and just plan out places to attend on that giving date. "

"We might do that, not a bad idea..."

Brew and Wine Hobby replied to Joe Defeo's discussion Beerstock
"We would be there with demo's and bells on.   Brew and Wine Hobby is looking at sponsoring a second competition to get a Spring competition to complement the Underground Brewer's competition.  Thoughts on that?"

"I'd be interested in helping as well.  Hopefully we could get support from all that benefit from CTBeertrail.net as well.  Perhaps we should start a group on the CT Beer Week to encourage brainstorming from all members and create a…"

"Aliza, great idea...  Let's talk about this idea via email or something.  I'm sure you have a ton of great ideas, and I'd like to pitch in to make this idea come together."

Aliza replied to Joe Defeo's discussion Beerstock
"I've always wanted to start up a Connecticut Beer Week.  I think that would be one of the more effective ways to promote all things beer related in the State.  From brewery events, bar nights, and maybe even another beer fest at the…"

"There was a homebrew competition that was going on during the fest, Zok was running it.  I got to participate in it which was cool, but it was pretty low key."

Joe Defeo replied to Bryon Turner's discussion Package stores open on Sunday? in the group Local Beer and Politics
"I understand and agree with your points to a degree. Knowing that I'm out of beer on a Sunday doesn't necessarily mean that I'm going to go to the local bar however. I've had guys over for poker on Sunday nights for…"

Joe Defeo replied to Bryon Turner's discussion Package stores open on Sunday? in the group Local Beer and Politics
"I think that Sunday sales can be a benefit if the stores utilize the extra day effectively. Why not make it an "event day?" Do a beer tasting, do a wine tasting. Give "Joe Six-Pack" a reason to come to your store, rather than the…"

Joe Defeo commented on Jason Villani's blog post Connecticut Beer laws
"I was very surprised when I saw all the "Family Farm" signs indicating that a winery was ahead. I'm guessing the vineyard/wineries are given consideration as a farm and enjoy such tax write offs, breaks and so on. It seems that…"

"I went last year and had a blast.  My only regret was not getting there sooner and not camping out afterwards!  Hopefully this year the rain will hold out.   Perhaps we could convince CT's breweries to have a limited…"

"I was at the Burnside fest last year, and although it was almost a washout the turnout was still good. I can't wait to see what's in store this year, I'll certainly be there. I can't remember, but I think there was a homebrew…"

Hmmm I would try their gandhi-bot, a great double IPA, if you can find it.  They can their beers, offer growlers at their brewery, and have a few limitted beers in bottles.  Their Sea Hag IPA and Elm City Lager are also very good.
