NE Brew Tour

Non-Beer Discussion by SLOWRUNNER77

This has been "in the works" (and will continue to be) for a while, but is realistic either with a long-distance rental, or if I buy my next car in NY (I bought an older car in OH several years ago and drove it home, visiting breweries on te way). Albany, NY (SW flies there)-Cooperstown (Ommegang, Baseball HOF) - Niagara Falls (family) - Cleveland (Great Lakes, Cory, Hoppin Frog(?)) - Chicago (Goose Island) - Grand Rapids (Founders) - Kalamazoo (Bells) - Munster (FFF) - New Glarus (!) - Madison (John!)...less than 24 hours of total drive time [:D] Where's Tyranena? This will happen, I'm guessing 2014. Just thinking out loud...but during a lull at work, finally mapped it out the other day (though I may have the order mixed up here). Totally doable over 5-6 days!

Doable. But will it give you time to rest and breathe and enjoy the stops? Madison + NG is 1 day. The barrrrn is another. Give yourself 4 more days and you got a nice itinerary my friend.

Oh. And no visiting Wisc until I live there again! Just kidding. The incredible Mista Pfista is a VERY good reason to visit Madison. [:)]

I believe I may wish to participate in such a journey. [;)] Tyranena is 17.9 miles from my Bar(n).

Travis, ideally, I'd spend a month up there, but with a wife and two young kids, that just ain't gonna happen. I have to balance having enough time to enjoy each place with realistic time constraints. If I fly into NY with the family, they'd be present for the first couple days, visit family, and then probably fly back to Reno from Buffalo, while I press on for a few more days. If I can swing a rental that can be picked up in Albany and dropped off in WI, that would save a couple days, as I'd then be flying home instead of driving. Trust me, I'll break down this bad boy every which way when the time comes [:D]

I would be happy to show you around NE oHIo and provide a place to sleep it off! Great Lakes although not near the top of my list is still worth visiting with my favorite stops close by. Hoppin Frog does not have a tasting room, but I could try to arrange a visit. Plenty of great stops to fill a day and then some.
