Boston Beers?

I have to be in Boston on the 18th, and Manchester, NH on the 19th.

Any chance of getting together with some CCFans for beers? I have met some of you in the area and would love to see you again. Others I only know through this website, and it would be great to meet you and hoist a cold one together.

I'm definitely in on the night of the 18th. Could potentially be in on the 17th, and could potentially stay over on the evening of the 19th.

Let me know if there is any interest as I need to firm up flights etc. tomorrow.

Hi Brian, I just noticed your post. I don't tend to look in the off-topic section as often as some others.

I live in Concord, so Manchester would be easy. My problem is with nights, too much going on with the kids to get away. If you are available for lunch or even in the afternoon on Friday let me know.

Hey David,

Thanks for the note. Looks like I will have moring of 18th Free in Boston. Night of 18th Free, I could probably meet anywhere. Afternoon
of 19th, probably free in Manchester. Night of 19th Free, I could be most anywhere but have a flight out of logan at 7:30 am on Saturday the 20th.

While a quick run in the boat would be very cool, not sure if I'll have the chance.

About 5 years ago, I attended the first Green Lake, reunion. Met a lot of guys, and thereafter every three or four months when I would travel to Chicago, I would put out the call to meet for beers. Typically about 15 to 20 guys would show up. Was a great way to reconnect, and also to meet 1 or 2 new faces every time. About 3 years ago I stopped travelling to Chicago, but the guys there have continued to meet every three or 4 months.

Not sure how frequently I'll be travelling to Boston. Some of it depends upon whether I land the deal there. But I know I'll be back to Manchester on December 7 as well.

So, I just thought it would be nice to gather up some of the greater Boston area guys and share a few beers.

If any of my free times work for you, would be great to meet. If not, perhaps I can catch you when I return on Dec 7.

That would be great Larry. BKH

David, Larry, et. al.

Plans are firming up. I will be staying on State Street in Boston.

Have the late afternoon and evening of the 18th open, presumably in Boston somewhere. Would love to meet up with any and all Boston Area CCFans. Someone suggest a place and I will be there.

On the 19th, I plan to meet up with Keith somewhere between Manchester, NH and Boston. Details to follow. Again, late afternoon and evening, and would welcome any and all CCfans.

Would be great to meet some new faces, and revisit with some old friends.

Hey Tim, Once again we will call on your expertise in a vast range of subject areas. Brian said throw out an idea for a meeting place around Quincy Market, (since he said State Street) I dont know that part of town at all. If it was out Fenway way, I could throw out some ideas. Did you ever hang out downtown and can recommend any place. Appear to be a number of choices. I see an Irish pub on the map...usually can't go wrong with that.

Hey Brian, fellas,
Sorry I missed this thread till now...

Count me in for Friday. I'll check in with Keith to see what plans you guys have in place and look to tag along.

Looking forward to finally meeting you Brian!
Safe travels

Tim- we'll be around Sunday if you need a refreshment stop on either leg of your ME trip. The girls would love to meet Tique too!

Yep, new job in CT as of last spring. I closed on my cottage in Jan and had been looking to get back closer to home full time. Boston was great, but definitely like being closer to the lake, family, etc... even if it means living in the sticks.

The Union Oyester House is probably a little pricier if youre going to get food than the other places, but its America's Oldest Restaurant so its full of old world Boston charm.

Another favorite downtown spot of mine is:
Foleys
Good draft selection, beers a shade cheaper than Faneuil Hall and a little less touristy. A little more local character as well.
It's on Kingston St., which is behind Macy's near Downtown Crossing:

Another good one is elephantcastle
which is here:

I could go on and on. There's no shortage of bars near State St.!

Brian (Bri...) Glad you found this thread. Be great to have you join us and glad you know the area better than I. I wasnt going to be a very good guide for Brian H since I am not particularly familiar with that part of town. See you there thursday evening. Not sure of meeting details yet, but they should gel in the next 24 hours or so.

Brian i would be happy to meet up and raise a glass with CCF'ers I am guessing that you'll be at long wharf marriott- 5+ min walk over to bell in hand or? purple shamrock is also right there my daughter in law tends bar there don't know if that gets family discount
there are a # of places right around the area
if no other input maybe just plan to start at Bell at 5:30 on thursday

Well, it sounds like a lot of people are familiar with the Bell N Hand, so we can start there at 5:30ish and see how it goes.

Purple Shamrock is practically next door, so we could easily make that a stop if we decide to move around a little bit.

As far as thursday goes, sounds like 5:30ish at Bell in Hand. Paul, glad you can make it too. Will be good seeing you again. Can get the details on that new boat.

There are separate plans gelling for Friday, so it sounds like Brian is going to be well taken care of and will see some NE hospitality.

Well, in Boston. Certainly a lot of young people out drinking late on a Wednesday night. I like it. Perhaps I should have lived here as a youngster.

So, I guess it is Bell N Hand 5:30 on Thursday. Smokey Bones 5:30 on Friday. See you then.

Hey BK - I wont be able to get over to Tyngsboro tomorrow, sorry I wont get a chance to meet up with you guys.

And those bars in Boston tonight should provide top shelf scenery, enjoy!
