Date is not set in stone.

I can't do the 24th, but I'll keep an eye on this in case the date changes.

I'm always down for a Brewery Meet :D

I'm always down for a Brewery Meet :D
So, Brewery Meet>Painting your house>Philly meet??

In, underage though :)

Saturdays might be tuff for me , but I would like to attend. Where does this caravan from philly meet? Where exactly is the Brew pub also?

So, Brewery Meet>Painting your house>Philly meet??
For the record, I couldn't make it because I got sick Saturday morning...and am still pretty under the weather...the room still isn't fcukin painted yet either :(

But Brewery Meet > painting ;)

In, underage though :)
age isn't an issue - it's a family restaurant inside as well as a brewery.

Redfoot: The Philly types met at the PM Ikea last time and drove up. The Pub is in Bethlehem.

Glenn - figure out a free weekend - cant have a meet without Short Round.

BUT... we're all forgetting the most important aspect to all of this...

WILL THE PUMPKIN ALE BE AVAILABLE ON THIS DATE AND HOW MUCH AM I ALLOWED TO TAKE OUT OF THE BREWERY?

we can move between the 24th and 25th, it's not etched in stone fellas.

So, I guess, for the time being I am in.

I don't miss out on a good BBW meet. I'm there.

Glenn - figure out a free weekend - cant have a meet without Short Round.



Actually, that whole weekend isn't good for me, damn anniversary :mad

If it can't be moved, maybe I'll just dump her :evil2

Depending on how many Vf/KOP guys are gonna caravan out im still in

No idea about the pumkin ale....but just get a growler to take with you home. it's a lot of beer.

The 25th would be better for me due to the aforementioned autocross on the 24th.

auto-x or get really smashed with a bunch of car/computer nerds? hmmm....decisions, decisions. Although I'm not sure i wanna get drunk around Ron, getting smashed is always a great thing. :stickoutt

Also, do you think they'd sell to me, since I'll turn 21 on October 22nd? I mean it is right there. and I'm military. Many times poeple waive the whole age thing when you present that ID. :D

It's at the Bethlehem Brewworks in Bethlehem, PA....Lehigh Valley area...awesome place. Great food, beer, and atmosphere. There have been 3 BBW Meets thus far and all of them have had a great turn out.

Ron, did you cross post this in the NYC/CT/NJ forum?

Nice, the more the merrier!

See Ron, this should have a good turn out, now all we need are more Eurowerks guys

How far is this from Perry Hall, MD? (Northern Baltimore County) :confused

I wanna talk to you and your man about my whip when I'm local, work out a plan of attack for the new toy. that and it's been awhile since we've hung out.

Chris - we should talk more about that. e-mail me a list of mods and some more pics: the mad hatter 323 at yahoo dot com.


Charisma - 18017 is the zip, we'd be happy to see another 323 at the meet.

Ron, I'll do one better and send you a link later tonight with some hi-res pics and list of mods. Gotta eat dinner first :)

I'll see if I can make it, if anyone else is going from the Baltimore area would like to caravan I'd go fo' shizzle.

I don't miss out on a good BBW meet. I'm there.
BBW = Big Beautiful Women right? So lots of chubby girls w/ major T -n- A ? lol

Seriously, I am interested :beer , I missed the last one :cry
~Phil

you know what i just realized? I can't meet up with yall. I am taking leave and heading back to florida for the last half of september. :(

that frickin sux.

Ok so I'm down of course.

I'm guessing this requires taking the Northeast Extension, also known as the stock E36 M3 wheel killer road. Is Bethlehem south of Allentown, because Allentown is where the road starts getting bad and all 3, yes 3, wheels that I've bent since I bought my car in April have be on trips up to the Ithaca, NY area on the Northeast Extension. I really hate the NE Extension after Allentown so please tell me we get off of it before then.

coming from Phili, you'd get to bham before you get to allentown.

Would anybody be down for changing the location. We could all go to New Hope, PA, and go to Triumph Brewery. Great beer, great location, and the road to New Hope off of 95 is through the country side, has some twisty turnies, and is probably one of the smoothest paved roads in PA. If you have never been New Hope, its got a great night life. Tons of outdoor bars with live music, and you can smoke cigars at the outdoor bars as well. Great cigar shop called little Havana. You always see lots of exotic cars up there on the weekends too. I thought it would be a great place to go before the summer is totally gone. And if we waited till October, I think the place is dead and all the outdoor stuff closes down. Great place too for drinking if you're not quite of age. They're pretty lax on all that stuff because the town thrives on people drinking and having a good time. There would also be tons of great places to get some photos of all the cars too.
And if you're worried about the pumpkin ale being ready yet, we could save the brewery up in Bethlehem for October.

Anyway just thought I would bring it up since the next meet up is still several weeks away and nothing has been set in stone. If not, then maybe we could still try to hit up New Hope in October. Triumph Brewery up there has great beer. :alright

Let's do one in October at Triumph...

there will be a brew works meet in October as well, we can do Triumph, perhaps on a different weekend. I think meeting up at Triumph would be a great idea.

:buttrock to all of this drinking and eating :D

so any definately plans yet?

so any definately plans yet?
the 24th is looking pretty solid but it's still a month away.

we may use the 25th as a rain date.

If we're starting to spread to new breweries, I'd still like to put together a meet at the Appalachian Brewing Company here in Harrisburg. Before too long we could have a rotating brewery tour, a different one each month. :buttrock We could start venturing down to, is it Capitol City Brewing or something like that in Baltimore? Anyway we'll have to start expanding our brewery selection.



Oh, and we need to do a group tour of the Yuengling brewery in Pottsville. Anyone who hasn't been through there deserves to see it.

Being a Californian, I haven't been a big fan of PA the two years I've been here, but I thank the Beer Gods everyday for Yuengling :redspot

What route are you KOP guys taking up?? I just mapquested the location and its about 38 miles from my house....As much as I'd like to caravan over, it may look like that I'd be going completely outta the way....

I was thinking the same same thing about triumph, there are so many great backroads over here and spots for great pics. Besides, New hope is a hop-skip away from my house.. :D

So, the 24th, or the 25th is the final date?

So, the 24th, or the 25th is the final date? I'd much prefer the 25th.

I'm down for either...but I think Ron said earlier that we're aiming for the 24th with the 25th being the rain date...

PM me your number and I'll PM you mine. We should meet up for lunch/dinner and whatnot once school is up and rolling. It'll be nice to try to get something small and weekly for the college BF.C guys :)

I really need a date so that I can take off. Should I take off the 24th and 25th? Is it definately going to be one of those days? I'll Al's carpool buddy.

the meet is on the 24th, the rain date will be the 25th.

some of us will be there rain or shine simply to enjoy the good brew and eats. :)

Do you go to Drexel? They have that weird 3 months of school, off one month for Internship.

Do you go to Drexel? They have that weird 3 months of school, off one month for Internship.


Yeah, I go to Drexel. We are on quarters (terms) instead of semesters. It's 2 terms for school (6 months) then 2 terms of internship (6 months). When I'm finished my accounting final today, I'll have 3 weeks off before my internship. Not sure what I'm going to be doing for the next 3 weeks :( I wish my internship would start already so I can make money.

Drexel is interesting....

My advisor still hasn't sent me my class schedule yet....and we're not allowed to register for our own classes...

wtf?

We weren't allowed to register for our first term of class freshman year, but after that they let us do whatever.

I dunno, MPH program is interesting like that...:dunno

it's hard to find a job when you don't know what your class schedule looks like :mad

Eh, atleast you have 3 weeks to do nothing. I have school tomorrow...

3 weeks to do nothing, in theory, sounds great, but it gets to you. The guilt of not having made any money the past two months and bumming off my folks for everything makes me feel bad. Oh well, they love me :)

Do work for people...

Ive been bumming off the govt parents for over a year now. Too bad I have to start paying it back later.

But back to the topic. So is this 24th if its nice out, rain or shine on the 25th? From Ron's post its a little hard to tell. I'll go whenever.

Wait so are people meeting both days or are people meeting on the 25th only if its raining on the 24th?

meet on the 24th if it's nice out. if it sucks, we meet on the 25th regardless of weather.

Okay, I took both days off.

Who's the chica in your avatar?

Who's the chica in your avatar?
Keri Lynn Pratt....and no, I can't bring her along to the brewery meet. Although I wish I could! That'd require me knowing her...:stickoutt

But as it's planned so far, my best friend should be up in Philly visiting me that weekend, I think she get's in the morning of the 24th :)....yay for it not being a complete sausage fest :help

That's the spirit! :D

I try.

So this meet is about a month away. I can't wait!
Maybe I'll have my techno violet M3 by then :D

If you are serious about purchasing a TechnoViolet M3, mine might be up for sale around December Rob. I can't make any promises, but there is a great possibility. I think I will be moving and I will need the money.

thanks for the offer, but I'm looking for a sedan. I found two already that are candidates. One is in upstate NY and has higher mileage, but exactly the color combo i wanted. Another is in jersey with lower mileage, but with grey interior :(
There's a chance I might pass on both of them since I'd rather wait for the perfect one to pop up locally.

What color, silver? You need Dakar. Dakar, or Hellrot, or Imola. Those are hot. Silver is common.

I'll go whenever.
Hope you get your car fixed up by then; you know how reliable Chris is for a ride! :rolleyes

What color, silver? You need Dakar. Dakar, or Hellrot, or Imola. Those are hot. Silver is common.

I originally wanted silver since I love my silver 328i so much. Now I've been thinking about the other colors. Techno violet, hellrot, imola, and estoril are viable options. I like dakar, but I don't think its for me.

I like dakar, but I don't think its for me.
Why not, you're Asian, it'll match your skin :stickoutt

Why not, you're Asian, it'll match your skin :stickoutt

That's what I did :smiliecap

You should get Cosmos or Estoril or Alpine....

Cosmos and Estoril as so common. Cosmos more so. And alpine sedan is the sex.


Glenn, I would be giving Al the ride to the meet, not "the artist".

cosmos is still slick though. you can't beat black on black. Is Estoril or Avus the 95 m3? I like the blue color that is on 96-99 better than 95s.

cosmos is still slick though. you can't beat black on black. Is Estoril or Avus the 95 m3? I like the blue color that is on 96-99 better than 95s. Avus is the darker one that was on '95 m3's. Estoril is the lighter blue. Personally, the only e36's I'd consider are techno/daytona, estoril (but no dove grey interior), and maybe alpine.

My car isn't even in the shop yet!!! With gas going the way it is I should probably be happy!

Last time we met at the Ikea off of the Blue route. The one down off of Ridge Pike/Norristown area-I think. It was right near the PATP where you can jump onto the NE Extension.

There is a member on here with a blue z3 coupe from quakertown. Simsima is from Bethlehem which isn't too far from quakertown

BUMP for beer :redspot

Ill drink to that.

Are we going to be doing an after hours gig at that place? Steel Garden or whatever?

I heard it's supposed to snow that weekend. Why don't we move it up one, you know, to avoid snow and all. Oh, and I'll be able to make that one. :D

Preppy, I haven't driven the z3 coupe in two months. I have my s54 m coupe to blame for that. :alright

Oh, you bastard.....you bastard....:buttrock BRING THAT TO THE MEET :D



Mike, I am not quite sure about the afterhours deal, I say we just wing it.

Speaking of timing and whatnot, are we doing this more of a mid-day thing? Like around 2-3 Meet and like 4pm eat? That way our odds of getting a table are much better.

Hmm, compounding that, we'll need to get rsvp's soon.

Anyone from VA/MD/DC going up?

Oh, you bastard.....you bastard....:buttrock BRING THAT TO THE MEET :D

Youd better come to the ECE meet :P

but this meet involves drinking, that one thing ECE doesn't condone. I mean what is better than a bunch of bimmers speeding and swirving down the road? :stickoutt

3 to meet, 4-5 to eat till when ever.
Ah, okay, that's doable.

I was hoping to be able to make a quick run to the Hamptons after the Meet, but the 4 hour drive doesn't look too appealing that late. No worries, I can do it the following month :)

You don't have to drink :stickoutt I think there are afew sub 21ers coming including myself :D You can hang out at the children's table

*sighs* unfortunately I am sub 21. But sometimes the ol' military id swings me a drink every now and then. Even though I look about 15. :D

If I can't get a drink, I guess I'll have to settle for virgin captain and cokes. :stickoutt

Eagles blew nuts. I laughed. I wanted atlanta to win. McNabb played like ass. Once I realized I had no shot at winning opening week on ANY of my fantasy football leagues, I just rooted for the team I wanted to win (falcolns) not the team that I used a bunch of fantasy players (eagles). :D

I never really understood Fantasy football

The Eagles looked horrible; Take Dawkins out of the game and there was not one single good moment to that game. Ha! I have to laugh at all the Iggles fans today :D

Lol! Silly Philly. I'm a really big fan of all the Philly teams for one reason and one reason only: they're choke masters and they lose. I wear my Phillies hat with pride and when people say "you like the Phillies eh?" I flip my hat around to the printed 1979, and say "yep, because this is the last time they won the world series." As a non-sports fan, the tragedy of the Philly sports teams is a real hoot to me.

Dude, the Phillies won the Series in 1980, not 1979. You need a new hat. :stickoutt

EDIT: the Pirates won in '79

:devillook

Do it... DO IT.

Do it...just do it do it.

I'm fuckin excited for this!...and I cannot wait until next month too! :buttrock

Wait so why does the hat I bought like 3 months ago say 1979? Was it the 79 season but the world series in Jan or something?

Ok someone explain the signifigance of 1979 and my hat so I can get my story straight: http://shop.mlb.com/sm-philadelphia-phillies-1979-cooperstown-franchise-cap--pi-1734829.html

Does it matter? Phillies = teh sux


Yay for my 16,500th post, w00t!

Watching the Birds' pitiful performance last night only served to make me even more anxious for hockey season to start...

True

Also what does "teh" mean? I keep seeing this on the forums and I thought people were mispelling "the," but it seems like people are doing it on purpose. Or am I just noticing all the people that are mispelling it? Lol!!!

That's exactly what it is, just a purposeful misspelling to be stupid. It's just internet ridiculousness. :)

Do it... DO IT.

:D

Wow, I have no idea. Wanna buy a bridge....?

Phillies won in 1980 and the World Series is still played in October, so I don't know.

:D

You should definately come. Its a good time and I know you can appreciate good beer.

WTF are you driving these days anyway? You going to show up in some Jap mobile? :D

Bethlehem types - do we have an answer on the Pumpkin Ale? It is the proper 'season' yet for it to be brewed? If so, Im coming in a taxi. :D

They also have one that says 1948 on the back. Any significance of that year?

Oh by the way did anyone see Bob's (from Collegville) letter in Roundel this month pronouncing his undying love for UUC products?

Ahhh, from the looks of it, Pumpkin Ale will NOT be ready for us....but who's to say they haven't started yet, as the site was updated on the 8th...

Dag nabbit... well... we'll just have to go again when its there. ;)

Just tell me the time and I'll be there :D

teh is a purposefully mispelled version of the which adds a bit of emphasis. teh sux, teh rox, teh sex, etc etc etc.


Dave is driving a jap mobile now. I think his uber-super-secret-squirrel-g14 classified project car is a e36 variant.

I do love good beer....

I'm driving a very Clark Kent-like mild mannered 2005 TL as my work car these days...

The E36-variant super secret missile is not yet ready for an unveiling... :devillook

So if I can make it, it'll be for the beer... :D

Mike, I mean, Patrick Dempsey, if Dave is showing up, that means we have to figure something out for Steelgaardens that night...

I dunno... Dave is a married man afterall... and we're not very good influences. :D

Do you think they will card all of us?

Who? Youre 21, aint ya?

They will card. But we'll figure something out ;) And they won't let you into Steelgaardens *basement of the brewworks* unless you're 21+.

Mike, we can tell the misses that Dave won't be out toooo late :stickoutt

Who? Youre 21, aint ya?

:rofl No. Alan doesn't think I will be carded...http://bimmerforums.com/forum/member.php?userid=14087

Lets move the meet back about 4 months...problem solved.

No no, we'll just hold it again in 4 months :)

...and have another 3 in between! :D

That works...well, I almost 100% that I can come... I was going to go to Cali, but...shit happens.

haha, I'm 21 in 1 month and 8 days. But maybe my mil id will get me a drink. If not i'll drink a virgin captain and coke. :D

Missing one brewery meet isn't really a bad thing, because you just KNOW there'll be another soon.

We're a drinking club with a BMW problem.

hahah that was a great one. Somebody should sig that.

Done. ;)

That sig rocks my face off....and this *and the other* threads regarding the Brewery meets just prove that we're definitely alcoholics :stickoutt

Not sure yet. I have a friend coming in Friday for a job interview, so I'm not sure I'll make either.


Any word if David aka Wooluudavid is coming?

No no, we'll just hold it again in 4 months :)

...and have another 3 in between! :D


perfect :D i'll be 21 then also :cool:

sorry to be lazy...but can someone repost the time and meeting spot here? I may actually be able to come to this (SHOCK!!!)....I kinda quit drinking recently though, so I demand taking the back of the line. The only thing holding me back would be the sheer temptation of being in a brewery.....but I can handle it man. :)


Post meet time and spot again please, and about how long of an affair is this total? Thanks, Dave

Redfoot: The Philly types met at the PM Ikea last time and drove up. The Pub is in Bethlehem.

Glenn - figure out a free weekend - cant have a meet without Short Round.

BUT... we're all forgetting the most important aspect to all of this...

WILL THE PUMPKIN ALE BE AVAILABLE ON THIS DATE AND HOW MUCH AM I ALLOWED TO TAKE OUT OF THE BREWERY?
a growler... $2 + cost of beer... it's like 60oz. they should have it by October, so maybe by late september they might have tapped it or are getting ready to.

too bad i'll miss this one... dammit

I miss Brewworks... :(

(not to mention a bunch of other things)

Would anybody be down for changing the location. We could all go to New Hope, PA, and go to Triumph Brewery. Great beer, great location, and the road to New Hope off of 95 is through the country side, has some twisty turnies, and is probably one of the smoothest paved roads in PA. If you have never been New Hope, its got a great night life. Tons of outdoor bars with live music, and you can smoke cigars at the outdoor bars as well. Great cigar shop called little Havana. You always see lots of exotic cars up there on the weekends too. I thought it would be a great place to go before the summer is totally gone. And if we waited till October, I think the place is dead and all the outdoor stuff closes down. Great place too for drinking if you're not quite of age. They're pretty lax on all that stuff because the town thrives on people drinking and having a good time. There would also be tons of great places to get some photos of all the cars too.
And if you're worried about the pumpkin ale being ready yet, we could save the brewery up in Bethlehem for October.

Anyway just thought I would bring it up since the next meet up is still several weeks away and nothing has been set in stone. If not, then maybe we could still try to hit up New Hope in October. Triumph Brewery up there has great beer. :alright
If you bastards go to New Hope and I can't make it I'll be pissed (as usual).

God, I have to get back to PA.

On that note, Triumph is awesome too. Went to a P-Car meet and also my 5th HS reunion party there, and the beer at BBW is only a bit better.

either way, fun places. Do the meet October 8th in New hope or Bethlehem and I'm in...

Come on Matt, its only what, a 6 hour drive from CT? You can do it ;)

Any word if David aka Wooluudavid is coming? Last I talked to him he said he couldn't make it. Looks like I won't make it either. Just too much shyt going on that day.

wooloo here. Nope, can't make it. I'll be at the beach with my family that weekend. Sorry - next time. :(

Time I think is like 2-3 *might be 3-4* for meet and greet at a parking lot down the street from the brewwery and 5 is seating time. Not quite sure on how definite those times are as we haven't made rsvp's yet. I guess I should talk to Ron about that and call them either tomorrow or Saturday with a rough guestimate for heads.

Dave, you don't have to drink man, they have plenty of great sodas on tap...like Coke...or Sprite...:stickoutt

Done. ;)

x2 for the best damn regional forum round these here e-parts.

Should we get a list or new thread started so we can get a head count?

a bit over 3 hours, but I have plans. I dont look in Mid Atlantic that often anymore, so I missed this.

I am hitting up Bavarian Fest this weekend though (atlesat for a while).

yeah, well I'm going to do a lot of driving, not a lot of much else. life's been a little crazy up here.

karate camp? I'm surprised we didn't discuss this when I saw you last... ha.

too bad, atleast you get the beer meet, a much better option.

I only started up karate 3 months ago :D I was going to be on the team for national championships, but it was going to be held in New Orleans and that isn't happening.

So maybe that's why I'm ahead of all the other beginners ;) During my first kyu exam, the master was so impressed he let me skip a belt level :buttrock
