[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1142555, member: 3828"] The toughest thing about having a brewery or pub (or distillery, for that matter) as a motorcycle ride-to destination is that responsible old pharts such as most FJR owners are generally not willing to ride impaired. So, that means buying samples "to-go" to be enjoyed later (not always an easy trick) or doing an overnight somewhere nearby. Making it into an over-nighter, with that added expense, means you would either already be in the area for other pursuits (i.e. great riding area or some other attractions) or it had better be some damn-fine-beer. As many of you know, our son works as a brewer at a craft brewery in Windsor, Vermont, that also has a nice casual beer-garden pub-restaurant ([URL="https://www.harpoonbrewery.com/"]Harpoon Brewery[/URL]). Being in Vermont, it is a worthy place to ride to, and around (unlike their downtown Boston, main campus) But, visiting the brewery on the bike just doesn't happen all that much. As much as we love the beers that they produce, not to mention the atmosphere of their beer-garden, trying to visit and abstain from imbibing is just too much for this beer lover to stomach. So, we generally four-wheel it if we'll be stopping by for a visit. [/QUOTE]
