CANCELED due to lack of participation.
I've been speaking with Brent from the Thomas Tew distillery in Newport, RI, and he's offered to give a bunch of us a private tour.
On the way back, I suggest a stop at the Mon Kou, which will be right on the way for anyone coming from Mass or NH, and not far out of the way for anyone else.
Who's interested?
How's the date work for you?
NEW DATE (Again): Saturday, May 10th at 4:00 PM. Tour should run until about 6, which should get us to the Mon Kou at about 7:00.

Didnt I already answer this question?
Im all for this, but the 15th is no good for me.
St Pats parade in Hartford that day. You can still drink rum....and you can do it outside, in the street...take cocktails "to go" out of bars. I love the suspension of the opne container policy for the st pats parade.
Pick a different weekend, and plan on partying with the Bargoyle on the 15th!!
Its the one time of year we goto Hartford!! lol

Well, I may have spoken too fast.
Brent replied, and said that a weeknight, Mon-Thu, is actually better in this time frame. He does the distilling on Mon-Wed so that may be a little more interesting. But a weeknight might be tough for folks, so I've asked about a Saturday in Mid-April.
Again, if you're interested, speak up. We can do what's possible to align a schedule that works for everyone. OK, that's unlikely to please everyone, but hopefully for *most* people...

Definately interested. WAAAYYY interested. Can't think of a better way to spend either a saturday or even a weeknight, should it come to that. My only problem is that I'm out most weekends in April. The 19th may be the only one that would work for the whole month. But keep me aprised anyway, and sign me up for samples. Thanks!

Sounds like a great tour, Scottes. Would be very interested in learning more about the distilling process! Hope we can find a date that works for many!

what's the RSVP deadline? I'd really like to go, but it'll depend on what's going on with school closer in.
