Syracuse, ny - round 7 group grain buy

[bellinmi88]

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.

 

[Mparsons327]

I also wanted to let you guys know that I'm headed to Burlington Vt. for a family get together that we do every year. I normally stop at The Alchemist on the way home. So if anyone hasn't had Heady Topper and would like some LMK.

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.

 

[Mparsons327]

I have been to war horse. I wasn't really impressed with their beer. It is a really good time because of the 3 wineries that are on site as well.

My cobrewer and I (with wives in tow) have wanted to do a NY brew tour as well. We haven't put any effort into figuring out the details of course, but cetainly would be interested if such a trip was planned by hiring a ride or otherwise.

 

[bellinmi88]

Perhaps we should start a thread to organize that?

 

[user 54886]

I have been building a Google Earth places list with all breweries/brewpubs/brewshops/etc that I can find in NY and surrounding areas to help plan trips like that.

I can zip and share with anyone if they want.

It isn't a perfect list, but it is nice to see them on the map.

This keeps up and we will need to start our own forums to organize things.

War horse contracts out all of their brewing to Custom Brewcrafters, FYI. And like Mparson's says, they don't really have much thats good.

Post the a Google Earth file

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!)

Unofficial cny homebrewers
Cny homebrewers
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.

These are great guys and friends of mine. I've brewed with Jon and help out when I can. I hope to be there Saturday and I WILL be there for the anniversary blast.

Did you see my 11 pound bag of Cascade when you were at Cidah's house?

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!

Haha! Why you little!

Thanks though, we have certainly worked hard on our property, so I will be sure to let my wife know you liked it!

Sorry I didn't get this posted last night, it was a long long day.

But here is the Google Earth places list with all the beer related places I know of.

https://rapidshare.com/files/1892041634/BeerPlaces.kmz

Like I said, it isn't perfect. There are some duplicates and I am sure there is a ton of stuff missing.

Let me know what you guys think.

 

[bellinmi88]

Anyway you can just link the .kmz file so I don't have to download Rapidshare to open it?
