Thanks Josh!

Hey Josh,

I pushed the membership of Beervine up considerably. I think we'll all see more interaction with our articles now. A few have tried to slip non beer related articles through, but I've squashed those. It will probably happen here and there, but its easy to remedy. If you have any thoughts or suggestions for the group, please dont hesitate. You are the co-founder after all. I want it first and foremost to be a venue you, shelly, larrrs, and i can enjoy.

Peace,
Peter
— Peter Faden

That sounds pretty amazing. To be in Germany and witness those events would be spectacular.
I did send the invite. Not sure if those things really make it half the time, but if not, you can find it here (Beervine).
— Peter Faden

Okay, it's up and running. I'll try the whole invite thing (it's 50/50 on whether it works or not, based on my experience with my other 2 groups)...Would you like to be an admin?
— Peter Faden

Hey Josh,
I'll be working on putting Beervine together this evening. I'd love to hear more about the beers you mentioned. I appreciated the suggestions too. You have a good day my friend, and I'll message you when I've got it up and running tonight. :)
Peace,
Peter
