Anyone want to make a trek to Abbey Brewery with me? Only 8 blocks from the hotel. I love going to breweries. I went to the Waimea Brewery while in Hawaii, which is the Westernmost brewery in the US. This is a good marker for the East coast and then I can work on filling in the rest of the middle!!!

Mmmmm, Beer...

The Abbey boasts one of the best beer selections in Miami. And it should. With 13 beers on tap and countless others available in bottles, this is the place to be when you want a fine brew. Check out some of the Abbey's own: go for the India Pale Ale, Oatmeal Stout or 12 Degree. Looking for an import? Try one of the oldest, and one of the best, beers on the market -- Czech Republic's Pilsner Urquell. Or try Canada's La Fin du Monde. If beer's not your thing, you could very well be in the wrong place, were it not for the Abbey's selection of wines and ports. But if it's the hard stuff you seek, head elsewhere.

Food is a big deal at the Abbey, and it's served from open to close -- a major feat considering this place stays open seven days a week until 5 a.m. Any time after 1 p.m., order your fill of classic, and some not-so-classic bar fare. Don't pass up the homemade empanadas. Check out the chicken tenders, egg rolls and soft pretzels. In the mood for something a bit more substantial? Then order a White cheeseburger.

There's no dancing at the Abbey -- the place is just too small. And don't look for live music here either. Perhaps on the modest side, the Abbey's entertainment comes from its ever- playing, ever-rotating DMX system. But the music is pretty low-key; the Abbey tends to stick to the Blues.

Interested.

I'm very down for a brewery hangout.

Brewery might be my choice. Im also a big brewery/beer nut. I love beer!!!!

I like beer.

It is good.

I'm there!! We can make an adventure out of it!!

sure, lets get some females in on it and were good. were any chosen, i havent looked yet.

Yeah, there's some chosen women. I saw a few.

girls are cool...

Definitely interested! I was trying my best (awkwardly) to avoid the club scene. A brewery is perfect!

Where's all the 21+ F's at?!?! Guess we'll pick some up in MIA. :lol:

lol they're on here....although most of 'em are probably in the clubbing thread ;)

beer is good.

Everybody's talking about Thursday night... but what is everyone doing on Friday morning/afternoon besides recovering from hangovers...?

Everybody's talking about Thursday night... but what is everyone doing on Friday morning/afternoon besides recovering from hangovers...?

getting ready for Friday night ;)

Ummmmm I don't think anyone's thought that far ahead yet....

I'll probably end up talking speakers.

To a lot of people.

I'll just plan that as it goes. With the time change and thursday night and getting ready for Friday night, I don't expect much free time that isn't spent at the pool or the beach if I make it out of the room at all.

I'll probably end up talking speakers.

To a lot of people.

Ive installed for about 9 years. We can talk shop. Im sure the females will flock to us in huge numbers.

I like the idea of a brewery, if for no other reason than it is my scene... ie, i like burgers and beer and not paying a lot for either. I am down.

Start discussing xmax and rms power, I don't know how they could resist :)

We havent even gotten to the wonders of Ohms Law, parallel and series wiring, diode isolation and parametric EQs.

Qtc, Qtc, Qes, Qms, all hot and bothered yet?

Nah, hot and soldered is more like it.

Geez, you guys are making me want to go somewhere else...

hehehe

Geez, you guys are making me want to go somewhere else...

hehehe

LOL...come on...hot and soldered...that was a good one.

He doesnt appreciate my comedy. :(

yeah count me in. my boys and i go to a micro brewery every monday, wednesday and fri night.

He doesnt appreciate my comedy. :(

i thought it was pretty good. :silly:

I thought it was good, too. I was just being sarcastic.

If there's one negative about this whole deal, it's that we'll be there WITHOUT our cars...

i lubb me some cold beer! -blushes-


i'm down... but i might want to hit the club with the ladies afterwards.!

I thought it was good, too. I was just being sarcastic.

If there's one negative about this whole deal, it's that we'll be there WITHOUT our cars...

there is an exotic car rental company across the street from loews, you can get a lambo for about 1,000$ a day, or a 6 series conv for like 550$, i forget the name but you could google map it, they are RIGHT across the street.

I mean I'd like to see the winner's cars.

oh, i figured you were thinking about not being able to drive . . . in any case, any opportunity to drive some 250,000$ exotic is OK with me!

Brewery sounds great!!

I am game on the brewery...they do serve breakfast right? I mean, this is an ALL DAY trip? Right? Or am I the only diehard beer drinker here? ;)

im with ya girl!

I am game on the brewery...they do serve breakfast right? I mean, this is an ALL DAY trip? Right? Or am I the only diehard beer drinker here? ;)

This IS the diehard group. First search was the hotel, second search was for breweries near the hotel...

My biggest dilemma is when my flight gets in do I go and check in or go straight to the brewery? It is on the way to the hotel, after all. Seems like a waste of gas to have to backtrack.

You guys are going to have to start without me, my flight doesn't get in until late in the evening, but I'll make a point to catch up once I'm there.

my wife's flight, which i am sure i will be on the same one, doesn't arrive in miami until 9:30pm, so we'll probably be out around 10:30 -11:00pm considering the drive to the hotel is probably 30 min if i remember right and then check in and baggage etc. . . .i doubt if i have a drink by midnight . . .

I'm there! My plane doesn't get in till 10:30pm, but I will probably be rolling into the Brewery about midnight.

How will we know who the scion group is?

I vote for a big ___ sign!!! :loser:

Okay, maybe not.

Slacker...Drink on the plane! :silly:

god I totally spaced there, yeah i have about a 5 hour layover in dallas it looks like, so i will probably be drunk before i get on the second plane!

How will we know who the scion group is?


Just look for the least suntanned bunch in the place...

And the ones screaming at the Honda guys to "bugger off!" :rofl:

yeah i have what, 30 days to get a six pack and a nice tan . . . like THAT'S going to happen, lol.

I'm showing up wearing my SDG tank or sciongirls tank, so you'll be able to spot me. :-P

I'll be wearing a white scion zip up sweatshirt. It has a black scion symbol embroydered (i know i spelled that wrong) on the arm.

I'll be the guy with really long, dark hair, wearing jeans and a Scion tshirt. You can't miss me.

Ill be the goofy lookin mofo wearin.............jeans.

I'll be the guy with the beard and the elemental designs shirt...handing out business cards....probably drunk and babbling.

hmmm...are you sure Nance? You're going to be the girl? I thought I was the girl. LOL

Whats up with everyone saying they are fat?

I'll be the naked guy on the sidewalk, passed out in a pool of his own vom... ...oh, wait. That's AFTER all the alcohol.
P.S.
I'm not fat, I'm just big-boned.

I'm not fat, I'm just big-boned.
Ah yes, a fine motto - I have a Cartman hat, says that across the back. Sadly, no one is fooled by it...... :(

:-(
Well I'm not fat...but I'm not skinny either, does that make me average? Just look for the tall girl with red/brown hair!

Guess I cant say im fat......
