EBF Boston Regroup

Looking forward to it. Cheers!

 

Hostel at 40 Berkeley will let us drink in the back room until 11pm as long as we don't get too rowdy. Big space with couches, tables, etc. Will need to provide our own glassware, and they don't have a fridge (outside should work though).

Denise and I are ready to start whenever. Who's in?

 

Prob wise to stay in your area until streets reopen. We should all get together tomorrow either way.

Hope the FB & TH guys can make it. Anyone else in the area is welcome to join btw, just ping me @brystmar or 312-203-5659.

There's a sandwich shop across the street that's open until 4, and 7-11 next door is staying open 24/7. We're gonna get things started around 4pm at the back and to the left of the lobby area. Hope to see a few friendly faces there.

 

Will probably head over to Hostel for a bit around 5. Have some bottles to share. Nothing super rare, but some good brews. Hope to see some of you there.

 

Agreed on both.

Check the 7-11; some of them in Boston actually have a reasonable craft selection. The 7-11 near my house has a bunch of Boulevard, Founders, Jacks Abby, and Brooklyn. You might get lucky.

 

My group and I are a two mile walk from the hostel. This would be a easy walk but snow, Bals and possible worse conditions we are going to have to stay at our hotel. But down to meet up tomorrow if weather permits!

 

We tried to venture over. But we aren't really built for this weather. We stopped at the packie and got some bottles to have our own beer fest.

 

what kimpossible said - if the wind dies down, it'll be a different story. i don't see that happening

 

Hahaha. Thank God no!

 

Rang out the Tired Hands gang at Blanchard's today. Wish I could have shot some shit, but it was crazy in there today. Not sure their handle, but wanted to thank them for the sample they gave me!

 

I'm currently having a beer fest on my couch in Southie. But my dog is not of legal drinking age. Any South End or Southie festivities tonight that are walking distance? I can scrounge up some bottles out of my beer fridge (nothing too rare, but good quality).

 

About 10 BAs at hostel at 40 berkley st. If u want to join us. Sharing some bottles. About to crack some cascade sours.

 

yum yum yum ... the .7 miles we are from you guys is sounding less cumbersome.

oh wait - just looked outside ... yeha, staying inside

 

I have a bottle of Bruery Gray Monday that is begging to be shared. I'm at W. Anyone nearby want to try?

 

Ticking night shift as we speak in our hotel room and awaiting the heady topper shotgun round! In lieu of ebf we are trying to extreme as possible! White birch anyone?

 

Dont forget our cases of Hill Farmstead!

 

What are the conditions like downtown? Road travel ban starting at 4 seems a bit extreme for what I see outside my window.

 

I live just outside the city and all my doors/windows are completely white. I opened the door 2 inches to see what was going on outside, and it was like a cartoon with snow and wind swirling into my house through the crack. I've never seen anything quite like this with the wind - it feels like I'm at the north pole.

Shit is real deal and it's just geting going - it's not just the 2ft of snow, but the 70mph winds. We are seriously right on the cusp of hurricane wind speeds.
