Wednesday, February 8, after 9 PM, in hospitality suite
The Craft Brew Drinkup at Code4lib 2012 is all about sharing and enjoying good beer with fellow conference attendees. The idea is to bring bottles of your favorite beers.
While you're not obligated to bring local beers from whereever you're from, participants are definitely encouraged to bring beer that you think is special and might be somewhat hard for others outside your area to find. Homebrew is especially welcome. Sign up below with your name, where you're from, and list a few brews or bottles you're thinking about (but not necessarily committing to) bringing along. You can also request that people bring specific beer if you so desire, but don't necessarily expect that your wishes will be granted.
If you do not check bags or otherwise cannot arrange to bring beer from where you call home, you may be interested in buying beer from a local beer store. See the "Buying Beer in Seattle" section below for suggestions.

Suggestions
Add using the following format: (person who you are making the request of): (your request) - (your name)
- Unnamed persons from the Keystone State: Sly Fox, any special Weyerbacher - anarchivist
- anyone: Boulevard smokestack series - danwho
- whosoever brought blueberry stout last year, more of that please - jastirn
- Oregonians/PNW folks: Deschutes Hop Henge (cuz it's seasonal) and Obsidian (cuz I like it) - anarchivist
- younga/Seattlites: Georgetown Donkey Deux; Georgetown Braggott - anarchivist
- if by chance anyone is coming from Salt Lake City: I would love Big Bad Baptist from Epic. Or the Wit if it's available again (I think it's the wrong season though). - HLPitts
Buying Beer in Seattle
from an email to the code4lib list:
- I can think of three good bottleshops (all w/ taps in case you want a growler) that are located on bus lines from downtown:
- * Bottleworks: Probably the shop I frequent the most. Take the 16 to Wallingford.
- * Last Drop: Take the 71,72, or 73 north from downtown and get off at 80th.
- * Beer Authority: probably the quickest trip from downtown on the 522. get off at the 125th St stop in Lake City and walk north a couple of blocks.
- * Full Throttle Bottles: Buses 131, 106, 23 --about 30 minute ride.
- * Also, QFC (large grocery store chain) usually has a great selection.
- * Lots of other pub/beer places noted on the map
Disclaimers

Packing and Shipping Beer
If you're flying to Code4lib, you will have to consider how to bring your beer. Some attendees in past years have packed beer in their checked luggage, and others have purchased a beer shipper that was checked separately as luggage. In any event, you will not be able to bring beer in carryon luggage.
The following are links to resources that provide info on packing your beer for transit.
