    Interesting suggestion, but we're trying to stay in eastern Massachusetts. If we ever do a NERAX South, though ...

    We have contacted them and it turns out they're booked. Thank you for the suggestion. Keep thinking of us, everybody!

    Holiday Inn Somerville near Sullivan?

    I have zero affiliation and even less suction with Redstone in Stoneham BUT...

    A. They have done at least one charity beer themed event in the abandoned Shaws/Stop & Shop next to them. Lots of space, open parking, close to Rt 93, still in eastern MA, etc.
    B. They are generally respected by a lot of the beer geeks north of Boston. Or at least just me. Definitely me.
    C. I like lists.

    Again, no affiliation - just a fan of NERAX and Redstone, both.

    What size venue are you looking for?

    Would this mean a date change as well? I noticed yesterday the Saturday is also the day of the CBC sour festival.

    We would like to still be able to accommodate how busy Saturday can be with upwards of 400+ people.

    Still no word on a new venue or date? I hope this isn't the year-without-a-NERAX. I'll be very very sad.

    Back at the Haverhill location? I realize that was the "North" venue but the space seemed nice.

    Very disappointing, it looks like I'll be missing it if it gets moved. I was planning on flying in from Oklahoma.

    why not just keep flying another 5 hrs to London and get all the real ale u could want?? all this NERAX talk has me dreaming of the Wenlock Arms in Hoxton...once described to me as "the Student Union of Life" by one of its locals. A true cultural national asset if there ever was one.

    I wish that was in the budget. Sadly I own property within driving distance of Boston and none in England. Next time...

    Time to start dialing for NERAX again ... my DOB haunts are gone, victims of gentrification, but I'll keep calling old friends.

    THERE IS NOW A VENUE! The event has been updated on the calendar. The website and other media forms will be updated as quickly as possible.
    Thanks go out to everyone who sent or posted ideas and suggestions. Loads of places were called and contacted.

    http://www.beeradvocate.com/events/info/71534/

    South Boston Lithuanian Hall
    368 W. Broadway, South Boston

    April 15th - 18th.
    Same session times.

    Get there via the Broadway T stop off the red line, and take the #9 bus or walk the .6 mile. Parking is slim pickings, and the closest garage over near the EpiCenter (Channel Garage) is expensive. Beer and standing room on 3rd floor, food and seating will be on the 4th floor with a nice view. Venue is handicap accessible.
