    I just saw "The World's End" with Simon Pegg and felt inspired to create a monumental brew crawl (see below). Anyone attempted something similar?

    I'm moving to Denver and driving from the northern NYC burbs. I'm planning a five-day, 2,000 mile, I don't know how many stops but they'll be many beer crawl?

    Looks like an epic Vermont trip. What did you haul in from all those hallowed grounds?

    That's just the blueprint. We're tackling it 1st or 2nd Saturday in August. I'll post pics of the haul for sure!

    I visited my buddy out in CA last year and he got a "party bus" for us. We hit up: Stone, Port Brewing, Council, Societe, Modern Times, Pizza Port, and Churchill's. Along with bottles on the bus, it was a long, drunken, happy day.

    Your trip looks great, just get a DD! :wink:

    Make sure to get a really nice dinner for the designated driver. Well deserved after tagging along for all that.

    I love it. Looks suspiciously like some of my day trips up there. :wink:

    (I really need to do an overnight again sometime soon.)

    Bring a friend. There's so much good beer on your itinerary that you'll want to share the experience with someone else.

    Looks great, but I'd rather cut my arm off then enter Magic Hat again. But if your driving by and had a few already, free beer is free beer!

    That looks like an adventure indeed. I'm a little jealous. I have to drive almost 200 miles to hit up ONE brewery... the joys of living in the middle of nowhere.

    FYI.. Hill Farmstead is having their Festival of Farmhouse Ales on August 8th, so I can only imagine its going to be a circus around there.

    Are you a sales rep? Or do you work for VIP? Just curious if there is actually somebody nerdy enough to visit them

    Add 14th Star, drop Stone Corral, is advice from someone who has done the same thing just not all at once.

    And we almost always hit the Hardwick Positive Pie when we hit HF. Great pizza, amazing beer list.

    I just did my first big one in June. Left Friday around 2-2:30 from Northern NJ.

    Went to Treehouse then Arsmy Abbey and crashed at my brothers nearby. Woke up early and went up to Maine Beer Company for Dinner. Got done a lot earlier than expected...by 8am! Went back to Mass, had breakfast with my brother and sister-in-law, visited Night Shift, then Aeronaut and Trillium. Also did 2 small in person traddes. Home by 6-6:30pm in Northern NJ with the below.

    Heading up to VT tonight. Can't do anything major as it is a family/huge group trip. Planning on stopping at Stowe Bev and hoping to have lunch at either Blackback Pub or Pro Pig. Really want to run up to HF and stop at Lost Nation, but won't happen this go round. Definitely next time!

    I had a really ambitious beer entire planned for NH/ME in May. The plan was to leave Boston in the AM and hit the following places: Smuttynose, Tributary, Bissell Bros, Foundation, Allagash, Oxbow and hit Night Shift on the return.

    Ended up making it to Smutty, Tributary, Sebago, Allagash - (Bissell and Foundation were closed), Maine Mead Works and Oxbow. I tapped out at that point and returned to Boston. Hit Night Shift the following day. Love how I ended up at a couple of random places.
