New England Brew Session & yankee enginuity

[the_bird]

You know, I think Chimone's going to be in the area for his brewing school fairly soon; maybe we should see if he wanted to meet up, as well.

 

[Boston]

Can you guys plan something around March? I want to visit my dad in Townsend, MA.....a stone's throw from Kai's house.

 

[the_bird]

Well, if it's in March, I propose that we wait until then. You have any idea when in March?

What would work best for me would be one of these week-ends: March 3-4, 10-11 or 17-18.

 

[Desert_Sky]

PM'ed you back before I noticed this thread.

I wont be in Vermont until June, but who am I to complain about taking too many vacations......... Ive been wanting to see you guys neck of the woods for a while anyways.

 

[the_bird]

So you thinking of flying out in March? Awesome!

Sounds like if you, Boston, and Kai can arrange one of those weekends to work for you, the rest of us should be able to make it work as well.

 

[Desert_Sky]

Ok, flying into where? And I need to make arrangements to stay where also?


And for the really big question....

How cold is it going to be then? I dont do cold that well.

 

[Vermicous]

I really enjoyed myself up at Glibbidy's and am looking forward to the next time we can get together.

That being said, the wife's due date is March 11. My jokes about doing anything around that date besides paying loving attention have strangely fallen flat.

I hope that these gatherings continue and I hope to be at the one following.

I'm not sure I knew you and she were expecting. Congradulations! We'll be sure to lift a pint in your honor, if you cannot attend. Gotta set priorities, which I suppose babies and wives are a little bit higher on the list than homebrew (as much as it pains me to say!)

 

[Kaiser]

Yes, congratulations.

It is possible to combine brewing and small children. Oftentimes that means brewing very early or very late for me to make sure that it doen't keep me to much from helping my wife.

It's official. SWMBO, SWMBO-in-training, and I will be in the Bennington, VT area from 1/20 to 1/24 looking for someplace to live . I start work on 1/29 in Bennington.

Repeat after me: I pledge allegiance to the Sox, the Bruins & the Patriots. And to the Republic of Belichick, Sox Nation, under God.......

 

[todd_k]

I'll be at Killington 1/27 and 1/28. I don't skill/snowboard so I won't have much to do. I'm flying up so I can't bring any homebrew.

Hmm... is there any chance we could arrange a quick get-together with some of the group that Sunday? Haven't seen Glibbidy around here for a while, not sure if he'd be able to host. Killington's a bit more than two hours from here. The brother-in-law will be around, I'm teaching him to brew that weekend...

Can't delay the trip until March, can you? Hell, it hasn't even snowed yet

 

[Hippie]

I am about 30 minutes from Killington, and if we don't get anything going, we can atleast get together and hoist a few at the area breweries, Long Trail is about 15 minutes from Killington and Harpoon is something like another 20 from there.
I just cracked some of the IPA's I bottled and must say they taste terrific (thanks again Vermicous, and Crongrats on the capper-in-training... no boys, I said CAPPER). My cousin is excited about the beer and is wondering when I'll start my next batch, so I MIGHT be able to host something, but don't get excited yet.
Either way, I'm very interested in going to Kai's, and maybe even brewing this time and heading to the Bird's to check out his fancy new windows...

Sunday isn't the best day. I'm going up there for my brother's bachelor party. I'm flying in late Friday and renting a car and driving down to Killington. Sunday, I think I have to leave by noon to get back up to Burlington for my flight home.
I'm guessing most of the boys will be snowboarding Saturday during the day and I'll be sitting around drinking. I don't know what the schedule is like. We're staying in one of those Ski In Ski Out mountain-side condos.

 

[the_bird]

Eh, Saturday is Cassie's b-day party, so that's out for me. I'm sure Hippie will be happy to represent the HBT Northeast Division and lift a pint or two with you.

 

[Hippie]

Yeah, I've rarely had issue with hoisting a pint...

It would seem like I could host a session if that were in the works for that weekend, probably in the garage for weather reliability, otherwise, if people can't roll due to short notice, we can set something up for another time. If people want to get together, lets start to typing.

 

[Glibbidy]

I'd love to host another event that but that weekend, however, I'm going to be doing some winter camping in the Green Mountain National Forest hiking the Glastenbury loop that weekend.

 

[Hippie]

OK, it seems unlikely I'll be hosting from the lack of resposes, but anyone interested in a mini brew tour? Maybe a run down to brattleboro & McNiels, then up to Harpoon & Long Trail? Evan, don't be shy, you're more then welcome, and everyone, the Pats will have an off week before the SuperBowl

Sign up here...

 

[the_bird]

I would, but that' a terrible weekend for me. Cassie's birthday is Satuday, and all of SWMBO's familty is around all weekend. And, I get to teach my brother-in-law to homebrew on Sunday, so that's out. Sorry, man!

 

[Hippie]

Oh well, happy B-day to your little one... maybe we'll cheer her!

 

[Boston]

So you thinking of flying out in March? Awesome!

Sounds like if you, Boston, and Kai can arrange one of those weekends to work for you, the rest of us should be able to make it work as well.

Just wondering if you N.E. guys were still interested in a March get-together? If so, I need to start making firm plans.

 

[the_bird]

I definately am. Check in with Kai, though, since presumably he'd be hosting. If he can't, I'd be happy to - but that'd be a haul for you.

 

[Fiery Sword]

I'm in this time. <Still pissed I missed the last one!> Might have the Pils ready by then!!

 

[Glibbidy]

St. Phatty's day might make a good date for doing another brew session. I would be happy to host again, I just need to get brewing some beer cause I just kicked my last keg on Saturday, and I'm stuck drinking storebought from Table and Vine.

 

[the_bird]

... I'm stuck drinking storebought from Table and Vine.

Poor bastard...

 

[gremlin]

i should try to make this one! hmmm, what beer can i have ready in a month?

barrett

 

[Hippie]

Hey Barrett, Welcome back!

Boston, I am sorry to say, DeSalvo didn't do it...

I want to attend, and will watch here for updates!

 

[SpamDog]

Well I have yet to brew a beer... But if you guys don't mind an extra.. I'd love to come by and just hang out and watch the process (plus enjoy some good company and maybe a few good brews) I am in Northern Vermont so if it is at glibbidy's again I am definatly in... any further and I have to see about it..
