Well-Known Boozer!
Going to be heading to New England soon with the wife and no kids! It was actually her idea. Her only requirements on this trip are eating at Mystic Pizza, visiting Salem and eating as many lobster rolls and lobster dinners that she pleases. In return I can go to whatever and however many breweries I want to.
Before starting my itinerary I'm going to tag some New England boys for their input, so @TheDudeLebowski @Remmy @Brizzo @j1laskey @wstbrewing @MC82 @dpinette2 @smurfjuice
Okay we are starting off leaving PA and heading to Mystic, CT for some pizza. On the way there I plan on stopping at NEBCO, having a flight or 2 and buying a bunch of beer to go. Then it is of to mystic for pizza and ? I'm looking for ideas on things I should do, other places to eat. Right now I'm looking at the seaport and Olde Mystic Village.
Then we are heading to Salem for a couple of days. Right now I'm looking at hitting up Notch'd Brewery and BeerWorks. Are there any other breweries that I need to visit? Any suggestions on restaurants? As for attractions right now it will ne, the witch museum, house of 7 gables, harbor walk, maybe the Salem witch village. She likes going on ghost tours when we travel. Personally they are a joke but I do enjoy the history aspect. I notices there are a few different ones. Any suggestions on which tour is the best?
Next is the Portland/Freeport, ME leg. This will be the longest leg of the journey. Right now the breweries I plan on visiting are: Maine Beer Co, Allagash, Bissel Brothers, Shipyard, Lone Pine, Rising Tide and swinging by Novare Res per @TheDudeLebowski. I know there are more. Are they any I should hit up and should I skip any?
Restaurants are: Duck Fat, Portland Lobster Company, Harraskeet Lobster, Azure, Tuscan Brick Oven Bistro, Bucks Naked BBQ, Locally Sauced , Becky's Diner, Gilberts Chowder House, Slab Pizza, Holy Donut, Wicked Whoppies, J's Oyster, Susan's Fish and Chips and Town Landing Market. Obviously we aren't going to be able to hit all of these so which ones do the locals suggest?
After Maine we're going to head to Mt.Washington and do the Cog Railway. Then we are going to swing by Hill Farmstead for flights and a bunch of beer to go. Then the final stop is the Stowe/Waterbury area. I got a cabin in the mountains for a couple of days.
The breweries on the list are Alchemist, Lawson's, Von Trapp, Prohibition Pig and Stowe Cider. Are there any other breweries I need to hit, any restaurant suggestions? I also plan on stopping at the Craft Beer Cellar, they supposedly have a large selection of rare beers. To keep the wife happy I will take her to Ben and Jerry's, Green Mountain Coffee, Cabot Cheese and the Cold Hollow Cider Mill.
So if anyone I tagged or any other members reading this has any input/suggestions I'd love to hear them.
