New England Mod & Meetup Thread:

Treehouse early works for me, not opposed to other places but I am still interested in trying some of their stuff...I'll actually be there this time

 

Whats OOB?

 

What say everyone? I'm an easy sell and willing to travel. Obviously GarlicFarts is as well

Not many places in general to park however many trucks n 4runners(maybe a porsche) and have food/ drink or both. Plus trying to be somewhat centrally located. Could expand to state parks and byob/ byof..?

 

Old orchard beach

 

Yeah, the downside is that unless we go down to the bar we can't have beers in the parking lot. But I can be convinced to not buy a 10$ beer and just have barbecue in the parking lot. You don't get to be my size by not enjoying such a thing.

Earlier is fine. No idea when they open but whatever. I think BTs would be the one we have to worry about being open early enough.

My vote if we do BTs would be to just all put in whatever orders and one person goes to pick it all up. But we can sort that out down there instead of back and forth online.

Old orchard beach. I95 exit 36 just skip and act like it doesn't exist. I grew up there. No second thoughts about not being there anymore haha.

Actually when is the trip? It's exciting and cool in the summer. But off season it's lonely and depressing. It's fun with people. Alone it's just depressing.

 

In 3 weeks!

 

Treehouse opens at noon on Sundays. Have to check BT's but agree 1 or 2 should pick it up.

 

Nice! That's a good time to go.

I wouldn't prioritize old orchard but if you're looking to fill time it could work.

Cool. Makes sense. I will offer it it can all fit in two 26 qt coolers. I don't have a big 52 qt anymore.

 

Can we recap, is 6/12 the weekend to kayak or is it purely a meetup at like Treehouse? There's a park just over the border into connecticut in Union that well. . I'm not sure if its off roading per se but it was all gravel and I didnt go very far in. Might be worth a look

edit: nevermind I think its august we were talking about for the kayak

 

We'll have to get the BBQ end organized... @crashngiggles

 

I got a 50qt cooler, I can tag along for BTs. I think grabbing some food and drink and going somewhere could be cool as well!

 

Ooo curve ball, get bbq and go somewhere we can drink the beer. I like the way you think.

 

Is this trying to stay central?

 

BT's is open 11-9 daily, dark Mondays

Kinda, trying to get a plan with location hammered out.
Whatcha thinking?

 

I'll be starting a new job and it's no Saturdays so that opens up my weekends.
I'd like to be part of a meetup/mod day/whatever.

 

hell yeah

And congrats on the new job!
Edit: new old job

 

Timberyard is a good spot. Family friendly(dogs on outdoor patio),
Good food.
Decent amount of parking.

About the same drive off the same exit as Treehouse.

Other than that, the places I like are AWAY from Boston

 

Totally agree about away from Boston!

That one looks good and is actually closer to me then I also found this one looking at timberyard

Not sure on dog friendly didn't really read much yet.

 

There's another brewery down the road from BT's in the opposite direction from Treehouse that I used to like to hang out at every once in a while and would recommend; Altruist - https://www.altruistbrewing.com/home

 

I'll second Altruist. Nice little SMALL batch brewery. Not much in the way of food, though there is usually a Food Truck out there...
