I'm staying at the Millenium Hotel and I'll have a free night on Tuesday for some beers. I know Rock Bottom is walking distance but there's got to be something better in the area. I'll be doing the carry on thing so I can't bring any homebrews with me unfortunately. Let me know if you're in the area.

When I stayed at the Millenium last summer, I went to Rock Bottom first, then walked across the river (the purple people bridge) where there is the Hofbrauhaus and the Beer Sellar. The Hofbrauhaus has authentic German food, and beer, and it's really good. The Beer Sellar has like 100 taps. (There is a website). I walked it, but it was a long walk on a beautiful summer evening. I cabbed it back, for under $10, though! It was worth it!

I know there are some HBTers in the area, too, so it sounds like a good time.

That sucks. I have a regular thing on Tuesdays that I can't skip out on. Maybe I'll catch you next time.

 

[Revvy]

Come one, you KNOW you want to head north to Michigan. You just do.

 

[Bobby_M]

Hmm, that's more than walking distance for sure. I don't think my company does a lot of business in Michigan. What's the big phone company you guys have there?

 

[homebrewer_99]

When are you going to make it out to western IL?

 

[remilard]

Definitely walk over to Kentucky.

I've eaten lunch at that Rock bottom like a zillion times (never had a beer there), it is right next to a client's building. I always stay in the Marriot on the other side of the river and do my evenings there. There is a divey place called the down under that is pretty cool, in addition to the suggestions above.

Well, you could always thumb a ride up to the Detroit area. Don't worry, it's safe now...

You just missed Shecky!

Newport, across the river, is a blast. Hofbrauhaus is a great way to spend an evening: both food and beer excellent.

Why are you never in Nashville, Knoxville, or Chattanooga you eac?

 

[Bobby_M]

I've been to Nashville a few times a few years ago but the travel budgets have just been slashed recently. The future trips I know of are New Orleans in January and Orlando in April.

I used to live in Cincinnati, Definately goto the Haufbrau house.

 

[Bobby_M]

I'm heading over there tonight for dinner with a couple coworkers.

 

[k2brew]

Bah, if I had caught this thread earlier I would have met up. I work about 4 minutes away.

Edit: I am still at work and could be convinced to skip the gym (or go after the gym) for a beer or two... MMMM Hofbrauhaus Dunkel!

 

[jmansfield]

Absolutley, go to Hofbrauhaus. Dunkel and the Weizen are excellent. Listermans, in Cincy, is also a pretty good homebrew supply store if you get a chance to check it out.
