    Heading up to Foxborough on Friday July 25 for Patriots training camp. Going to hit Jack's Abbey, Tree House and NEBCO on the way back to Long Island. Any other suggestions while in the area.

    man - i remember when they had camp at my old college. enjoy!

    o i think you covered the basics there. if you wanna hit up 95 you can check out Beer'd in stonington Ct - they are pretty good http://beerdbrewing.com/contact-us-2/ (open at 5) but that may be out of your way coming from TH.

    CBS scene has a decent craft beer list if you're going to eat lunch in the area.

    Me as well. When I went there they didn't even have a football team and weren't called Bryant University.

    I feel like these are way far out of the way from the Foxboro area(Grew up close by) but hey if you have the time then hit em up! You're essentially heading back north west all the way over to Treehouse to just then head back south. IMO I would maybe shoot the 25 minutes into Boston and hit Trillium(which will have a much better selection) and other Boston breweries then just jump back on 95 to home. NEBCO could still be hit too.

    If you are heading up 95. A couple good bottle shops are Nikki's in Providence RI and Yankee Spirits in Attleboro MA. My choice for beer and food would be Flynn's in Mansfield. About 15 min from stadium. CBS Scene always has good tap selections but food is pricey and just ok.

    You're out of your mind. Double down on "out of the way" by going all the way to Boston and stop at fewer breweries. Sorry. OP's itinerary looks fine to me. There is a good road directly South from Treehouse to 84 so you'll be at NEBCO before you know it. Not really that far out of your way. The only problem is that Jack's doesn't open until noon, putting you at Treehouse at like 2:00. Sandman's warning about NEBCO closing at 7 may come into play depending on how things are flowing at Treehouse.

    Edit, didn't realize you were doing this all on Friday. That's a busy day. I would still go your route and would be even less inclined to go to Boston. Traffic around here on Fridays is horrific.

    It's also bad advice because once you're in Boston the fastest driving route back to Long Island is the route that takes you directly by Jack's, Tree House, and NEBCO. It's close to 20 miles shorter than taking 95 so as long as you avoid traffic, which isn't always the easiest thing to do, it's the clear way back both in terms of distance and based on the breweries you want to visit.

    Like the fellow above me noted, if you're trying to manage all three of those breweries on a Friday it's going to be tough. I did Jack's and Tree House last Friday and was out of Tree House by 5:30. My drive home takes me right by NEBCO and I didn't pass that exit until about 7:10. So basically you have to be the one of the very first people out of Tree House to even have a chance of getting to NEBCO, which might not happen anyway if you hit any traffic whatsoever. Also that would mean you need to be at Tree House pretty early. I got there at 4:30 and was 12th in line, so you'd realistically need to be there even earlier than that to make NEBCO.

    Get another quarterback. 18 TDs, 27 INTs, 57.5% completion, and 64 rating. 20 mill per season just doesn't buy what it used to.

    As long as I make Jack's Abby and Tree House, if I can swing NEBCO bonus.
