CRAP! I wish I didn't already have plans!... and no they doesn't consist of 'taking the wife out'. Where are you in MA Parker? What LHBS do you go to around the area?

I'm in central mass and usually got to West Boylston or Northampton for my supplies. However, for the next few months I'm working in Providence, RI ....not too far from you! Do you know of any good homebrew supply places down here?

Thanks!

Providence, sweet... I'm about 15-20 mins from there. There is one brew store in Attleboro that isn't to far away. That's where I'll be heading to on Saturday for the big brew day. The guy who owns that store is a head brewer for Newport Storm, I'm sure you've heard of them. He has TONS of knowledge, which is always awesome. My other fav store is in Foxboro, right near gillette stadium. They always have 3 beers on tap from different homebrewers around the area. I always end up staying there for an hour or 2 just drinking and chattin.

Have you hit up the brew pubs in Providence? I'd only recommend 1 out of 2. Trinity's beer is always a let down when I go there... seems stale most of the time. Union Station is pretty good, nothing to rave about, but better than Trinity. Hit up Union is you have never been.
