Subject: Beer in New Orleans and a request
I'm going to be in New Orleans on Nov 3 and 4 for a conference. I've
actually got a bit of time on the 3rd for sightseeing, etc, and both
evenings are open. I'll be staying downtown (Baronne St a block from
Canal St) and will not have transportation. Any recommendations on
brewpubs or good beer bars will be gratefully received. If anyone is
interested in hoisting a few with me, that would be fantastic. Of
course, Nov 4 is election day, so the bars will probably be busier than
usual that night (or is Louisiana one of those places that closes bars
on election day?)
Also, I've got a friend who really wants to get some of the Cape Ann
Brewing Fisherman's Pumpkin Stout. Does anyone who lives in that area
want to do a beer exchange of some interesting Michigan beer for some of
the pumpkin stout?

Subject: MCAB
Does anyone have any info on MCAB XI. We participated last year
and assume we are still on the list of qualifiers. However, I
cannot get any response from any of the emails I sent to the
addresses I had last year. A Google only turns up the info on
last year's MCAB. Has it gone bottom up?
TIA
