Carlisle Beers in the car...

Mike: sounds great!

If my local store comes through, I'll have a case each of Newport Storm and Murphy's Irish Stout, while Chris is bringing some Wachusett Blueberry Ale, some micro-brew from Vermont and some good ole Sam Adams from Mass.

We should have New England and the colonies well represented (well, there IS the Murphy's, but it's brewed in the "Rebel County" of Ireland.)

Looking forward to meeting you and Fern.......gn

Safe trip Mike !

See you Friday morning Mike! Have a good trip.

Mike, the only brewery in town is Anheuser-Busch and I figured everyone knoes what Budweiser tastes like so I stopped in at Williamsburg Winery and picked up some Merlot. Just think of it as grape beer.
I'm leaving Thurs. a.m. hope to see you there in the p.m.

I drove to Montreal this morning to pick up father in laws (gosh) pick-up and drove home by U-Haul to rent a trailer. So 8 hours today. Picked up 4 cases of 12 beers to smuggle over the border. Actually I think we are allowed 24 each. Thats 2, two-fers. So Fern will be there to gawk, salivate on your cars. See you all there. We are leaving tomorrow a.m should take about 12 hours.

Looks like the East Coast is well represented. I wish I could make it. Lot's of pictures would be great.

I recommend MAssachusetts Paper City Brewery and Vermonts Long Trail.

I just picked up a sampler case from the Appalachian Brewery here in Harrisburg. And a big tin of pretzels to keep us thirsty!!

Made it to the hotel after 14 hours of white knuckle driving. PA drivers are NUTS. The trucks on the 81S are absolutely crazy at night. Be careful and there is alot of construction. We are actually passed on the shoulder by a truck, can you beleive it? We were running at 60MPH. Also some areas are badly lit. BE VERY CAREFUL if you are coming at night.

Made it here at 10:15pm and parked the trailer at the back and lo and behold, Roberts car is here. I think it's his, Ontario plate NOT PRCH. I thought it was supposedly red. And another fine Speedster under wraps. I think it's Stacey's but I'll know in the morning. So we are 3 and I have 48 beers. YAHOO. Be careful on the road. It's NUTS.

The hotel is right off the highway exit 52 and follow the sign, turn right it's on the corner. It's nice and quiet.

Mike: Outstanding!! Glad you made it safe and sound. The trucks are like that on 81 ALL the time and you're right they are kraaazy.
See youse in the AM eh!!
Looking for my toque.

Mike:

Glad to hear you survived the trip, and thanks for the warning about the trucks.

Mary and I are leaving this morning, so the Ontario plated car is not ours. I know Paul Montgomery of St. Catharines was heading down there on Thursday - a silver IM. Might be his?

See you all today.

Can't guarantee any toques - all the winter hats are out of the stores.
