Delaware HBTers!

[Madman]

Okay, first of all, we have an HBT group out there, so join it!

Second, it's time for us to crawl out of the woodwork and get together face-to-face. I don't care if it's a brewday, or just hanging out at a pub for the night. Stewarts has been suggested for hanging out, and that sounds good enough to me.

Who else is in?

 

[dataz722]

Well I spend alot of time at stewarts already as it is so that works for me

 

[Madman]

C'mon, Delaware biotches! Let's gather and drink!

 

[menschmaschine]

Sure, that's great for all you northern Delaware luckies! I'm stuck way down here in slower lower, or is it lower slower? Whatever. Some day I'd like to move north and back to civilization. Maybe I can "get up" with you guys.

 

[Madman]

Absolutely!

If we have to find a median point to meet, that's fine. I't not like Delaware is bigger than a football field lol

 

[dataz722]

Ive always refered to it a slower lower but I may have been wrong all this time

 

[Mike M]

Slower Delaware known for the beaches, DFH and the Canton Inn

I keep seeing these oval white "LSD" stickers on the backs of people's cars. I think it stands for "Lower Slower DE". Either that or they're on drugs. Maybe both.:cross:

 

[Ryan_PA]

I would be in for a meetup at Stewarts or a brewday, but I am not in DE, barely.

 

[jezter6]

Just a reminder that the MD brewday group sometimes meets in Joppa, MD which is only about 45 minutes down the border for you northernites.

I have give up trying figure out what those damn stickers mean once I saw one for havre de grace. Its a town in MD with a population of maybe 5000. But i really doubt its even that high

Back in the day there was a "classy" strip club in Smyrna. If its still there, that might just work for you.


If my plans go...as planned, I may be joining the ranks of the Delabrewers soon.

What's the plan?... looking for low property taxes and no sales tax?

A lot of people are moving in to this state from surrounding states.

 

[Madman]

If we have people who want to gether from all over the state (and outlying areas for MD, PA, NJ folks), then the best bet would be to find a median point. DFH is pretty far for us Newarkites, and Stewarts is far for the southerners, which makes for dangerous driving after a night of drinking

What's good in the middle of the state?

After I get my degree, I plan on trying to get a job with our corporate headquarters, which is in Wilmington. SWMBO is from Northern Jersey and a two hour trip to see her dad will be incredibly less stressful than the six hour (minimum) trip we currently have.

I was stationed in DE for four years, so I'm somewhat familiar...

They're doing a lot of building in Townsend/Middletown areas--there has to be something decent there, right?

 

[brewt00l]

Canton Inn

runs for the mental eye bleach

Yea, but it is VERY overpriced. Hell everything outside of the ghetto in DE is overpriced. Atleast the northen part of the state has become WAAAY to overpopulated.

 

[menschmaschine]

Anything in Dover?

 

[Flyin' Lion]

Overpriced relative to what? The Ryan homes my wife has been watching seem comparable in price to what they're building here in Richmond (if not a little cheaper).

What's a good area to be looking in, if you were to be working in Wilmington (please don't say Hockessin).

I like the Greenville area... very New England-y. Even a little England-y in some places. I'm sure you know... buying a Ryan home is like eating at a 24-hour diner. You might get the sh!ts and you might not.

If you need a good home inspector, let me know. I know an excellent one in northern DE.

 

[dataz722]

HA! Greenville is the MOST expensive area in delaware. Its actually where Joe Bidens house is. I cant even afford to drive through greenville. It is VERY nice, if you have 750k to drop on a townhouse.


But seriously what part of wilmington will you be working in?

 

[Flyin' Lion]

I think I've jacked this thread enough, my "company" has numerous plants in and around the Wilmington area, including South Jersey. Right now I can't fathom which plant I would be employed, but with the prices of houses near Wilmington, the wife has been looking at houses closer to Townsend/Middletown.

 

[delarob]

Hola bitcholas! What's kickin chickens? What's shakin bacon?


How yall are? I'm suprised Dave hasn't stopped in this thread yet. He's just over the line in Fairhills.

Names Rob, been a lifelong DE resident, but don't hold that against me. I used to love this state, but I've been dreaming of moving to Pulaski NY the last couple years and opening up a worm store on the Salmon River where I can fly fish to my hearts content and build myself a garage for a little 20 gallon brewery.

I think I can hold out for a while now that sh*tbird Minner is no longer the Gov.

Been brewing since around '92. I used to go to the Wine Hobby place in Stanton. Guy could have had a goldmine. Anyway got into kegging in the last couple years and All Grain finally.

Looking to move here? Try the Newark area. Not out rt40 way cause that's just too congested. Try more towards the rt4/273/Kirkwood hwy area. House prices are decent, population is ...meh.. You couldn't pay me to go to Townsend or Middletown.

If anyone is interested, come on out to the Delaware Saengerbund on Salem Church Rd. You know, the place where we have the Oktoberfest. I'm the 1st VP and pretty much run the bar. There's a couple guys who brew and you're welcome to stop in have have a good german beer.

 

[Madman]

I always assumed the Saengerbund was members-only except for Oktoberfest. I'll definitely drop by sometime, just let me know when you'll be there

 

[delarob]

It is a members bar, however we have plenty of open spots and you can come in as my guest. I'm there alot... I mean alot. LOL I have to do the registers, ordering etc..

I'll pm you the info. We allow smokin in the bar so if that's an issue for you LMK.

 

[Madman]

LMK?

Won't be an issue for me. I am a smoker, but don't smoke inside.

 

[delarob]

LMK = Let me know.

I just sponsored cigar night this past Sat. The dork on the floor with his arm on the table is me.

 

[Madman]

Cool!

Well, I'm off on Thurs, Fri, and Sat. I can either catch you there, or (going back to the original point of the thread) a bunch of us can get together somewhere else if you're only allowed one guest.

 

[delarob]

Well,

I'm there Thurs Nights 7 - about 10-ish, Fridays from about 6 to 11-ish, and Sat depends.

We're allowed more than one guest at a time. Stewarts would probably be more in line with Home Brew being they ARE a brewery. However, they can't touch our prices...

Can you say Dogfish Head/Victory/Penn at $3 per 1/2 liter? LOL!

I'm up for Stewarts too cause I don't get there often enough. It IS my fav upper DE brewpub. Iron Hill doesn't do it for me.
