Happy Monday TalkBeer.com!
I was inspired by the thread 2013 Beer Awards to see if there would be any interest in creating a sort of awards show for TalkBeer.com. Here is my thoughts, feel free to post below with comments, suggestions, questions, or criticisms. I'd like some input on this.
I would like each hub to host a minimum of 10, and if there are more, then the venue will need to be accommodating of the likely attendants. I don't want everybody to be individually simulcasting from their home computer, as that would complicate things and be pretty damn awkward too.
Target date would be around the 1st anniversary of TalkBeer.com's start date, so sometime in early April. I would like to hear from regional volunteers who think that they could organize a good showing for their areas, and I'd like some suggestions on logistics and how this should be run. I know that organizing 10-15 different parties to be online all at the same time would be tough, that's why I'd like to hear from the rest of you.
Please also note that it is also highly encouraged that Reubens be served at the regional tastings.
Cheers,
Trady

- Format would be multiple regional hubs to act as a gathering point for regional BTs to meet up and do a bottle share of sorts.
- One individual per region would act as the Regional Organizer, who would be responsible for organizing their bottleshare.
- Bottleshare would be simulcast via webcam in Google+ Meetup, or similar webcam group forum.
- Venue could be anything from private residence up to pubs/breweries or other large gathering place.
- Awards would span from breweries and beers to TalkBeer.com users and threads. I would open nominations shortly, and after an allotted time frame, final ballots would be made available. Winners would be read off during the simulcast, and some sort of trophy or award would be given out. Speeches would be encouraged.
- Examples of awards would be BT of the Year, Thread of the Year, Brewery of the Year, Best Beer, things of that nature.
