See now you're talkin!
I have participated in Winery tours where you fill up a tour bus with people, everyone brings a covered dish, home brews in our case, bag chairs, portable tables, growlers, etc...
Hop(s) from brewery to brewery, picnic at one of them, swap brews, share the brews you filled your growlers with from the various brewery stops.
Tables everywhere filled with covered dishes, fruit, cheeses and snacks, music (live or otherwise).
Great time!
You def have my attention with this! My g/f and I do wine tours every couple months but I have never thought of doing that with breweries. How many breweries/brewpubs would we be able to do in the syracuse area? It wouldnt be worth it to charter a bus for anything less than 6 or so.
There is a string of breweries starting in Rochester and working their way back to Syracuse I have been wanting to hit. Me an SWMBO have been planning to make the trip for over a year now and just never did it.
Rorhrbach, Custom Brewcrafters, Naked Dove, War Horse
Starting in Elmira and coming back through Ithaca/Cortland would b a good trip too. Especially after Ithaca finishes their new facility.
Perhaps we should start a thread to organize that?

Meetings was a general term. More like gatherings or group outings as mentioned in previous post. I don't mind setting up a group page on Facebook. If it flies, then great! If no interest is shown, then it gets deleted
Thoughts?
Group page name options...(suggest at will!)

Homebrewers for homebrew (Syracuse edition)
Throw some at me...

You've also got Roc Brewing right in downtown Rochester - relatively new, just celebrating their 1st anniversary with a party on the 9th of June. Good beer and nice folks. Got to meet Jon, the founder and brewer when I volunteered at Beerology here in Buffalo.

all you Syracuse guys should come in for Rochester Real Beer expo, they shut down a street by tap and mallet (good beer bar) and bring all kinds of local BBQ, pizzas, cigars, etc. Good time.

Just got home from picking my stuff up from cidah. That must have been the nicest smelling ride in a vehicle ever! 15lbs of hops and dino leftovers! Thanks to everyone involved!

No I didn't.... There was a bunch of stuff there. All the hops were in boxes as well. Make sure to post pictures! Haha
I vote for cidahs for our first get together! His property is gorgeous and in the middle of nowhere! Sorry to throw you under the bus Keith!
We used to have a Friday night happy hour group called ICBLC (ice cold beer lifting club)
