Let's Party Like It's 1759

[beerdiablo]

The Dallas 1759 Society is another lot I threw in with in late March 2006 and it has a larger base in Dallas than Beer Advocate. From a social dimension, it has more redeeming values than the other groups I belong to. The conversations are intellectually challenging as I find myself struggling to keep up with these MIT, Cal-tech and Mensa badged people.

Since it’s associated with Guinness, the owner of the pub where the monthly meetings are held loves the group and takes good care of us.  He even reserves areas for the group with velvet ropes, which add to the occasion. To go up one snobbier notch, we'd need to have a shock collar on the server.
