Lake Lanier, GAPS Hey daverich! I’m sure they will have pale ales, ales, stout, and the kind you like that you have to drink with a spoon! 😆
PPS I must bring you a new cap! 😆 The color is right, but it just needs a little “fine tuning”! 😆

Failing that, there is Goody’s which is practically next door to the Taphouse.

I agree. Most places in downtown will likely be packed. There is a bar in the hotel, but it looks like they only serve the standard US beers (Bud, Miller, etc.). We could always do a jaunt out to something at The Power Plant (McFadden’s, etc.), but that might be a pain. Something in the downtown area would be best, because I’d like to be able to catch the Saturday night fireworks.

Home of the “big orange”! 😆 In the #2 spot is Chattanooga, home of the Tivoli show! (Maybe, just maybe, I’ll finally get a response from Vic on that one!)David, as nice as the Downtown Brewery in Knoxville and the Big River Grill in Chattanooga are, I’m enjoying Phantom Canyon in downtown Colorado Springs, and I’m sure I’ll treat myself to a Fat Tire from New Belgium Brewery in Ft. Collins before I see Bruce and the Noisemakers in Boulder in a couple of weeks!
Thus ends my moratorium on posting in the Bruuuce forums! Maybe Si will now come out of “retirement” as well!
You guys have fun at Hampton Bay Days … I’m jealous that I’ll miss it!

Hooray! Glad to see you back,Victor-we’ve missed you! Hope all is going well.

Vic!!
I was so hoping you would surprise us and show up at Bay Days. You know, you could always hitch a ride with DPD and argue sports all the way to Virginia! I’d come get you myself, but KY is the long way around from NC. Of course I know GA is, too, but…….I am SO glad you are back. Now I’ll have someone other than David with whom to jab and parry.

Rich does not know it yet, but we’re all crashing at his place! 😆
You need to plan a “meet up”! You never know who might show!

Anybody else game! 😆 Looks like we have a lot of work to do! 😆 30-40 microbrews??
WOW! Sounds like fun to me!
Would love to see you Trent! Thanks for the info! Larry, you going to make it?

The Taphouse sounds cool. Of course, I haven’t been downtown recently to make sure that they’re still there. Sometimes, these little places come and go without warning. Let’s hope it is still there.
Shall we meet outside on Saturday evening? Inside? I’ll wear my old white Buffalo Bills “retro” hat so that I’m recognizable (see pic below). There won’t be many people in downtown Hampton sporting Bills gear, especially “big guys” like me. Outside is probably best, just in case it’s packed and we can’t get in. Although, that means that you’ll be somewhere on the edge of the flow of traffic.
The Taphouse is at 17 Queen’s Way, which is about 2 blocks from Settler’s Landing Road (the main drag in downtown Hampton, and the street that the Marina Hotel is on). Judging from their address, I’d say that they’re probably near where the Air and Space Museum is on Settler’s Landing. Queen’s Way runs parallel with Settler’s Landing. Google “17 Queens Way, 23669” and the map’ll give you a better idea of what I’m talking about.
I found an online review of The Taphouse at: http://hamptonroads.metromix.com/restaurants/photogallery/the-taphouse-hampton/376912/content I thumbed through the pics, and it does indeed look like they have plenty of different beers to choose from, including the infamous St. George’s “local flavour”.
Does anyone else have something “signature” that they’ll wear to be found by the rest of us?

As far as something “signature”, I’ll be easy to spot! I’ll be the only one with dreggs! 😆

which reminds me,- american beer is renowned the world over for being very very weak,- is this true?
we’re used to 4-5% here.
Kind regards
Dave Rich
daverich, you’re right about American beirs! 😆 The local choice of domestic bottled beer is fairly week. On the other hand, you will be able to find some microbrews in the 7% variety. Therefore, the Taphouse appears to be the “watering hole” where you need to frequent!
By the pictures that Rich found on the Taphouse link, I noticed they have some Porters, Ales and Pale Ales that you would probably enjoy!
It looks to me also that the Taphouse looks like a place that will make you feel right at home coming from the Pubs of UK. I hope to see you there!

Lake Lanier, GAOnly 22 days, 16 hours, 40 minutes, and 7 seconds until Hampton Bay Days!!!!!!

Nothing in particular, but you set yourself up to be picked on again! 😆 Something came to mind, but I couldn’t help but hear Bryan’s words of, “Be nice cause you may see her soon.” So…..in the spirit of peace, love and unity, I let it go. But, I must confess, it would have been real funny! 😆 😆 😆
On the other hand…..I just can’t wait until tomorrow! 😆

David ALWAYS looks forward to tomorrow….any tomorrow…. because he’s high on life and just likes waking up to a new day. But don’t let those dreads fool you, my friend. David can be as buttoned-down as the next guy…when he needs to be. We’re all just tickled that he doesn’t show that “buttoned-down” side on this venue very often.
David, for the sake of a laugh, I WOULD wear only my birthday suit, but it’s old and wrinkled and needs a good pressing, so I’ll settle for my reliable jeans and my brand spankin’ new Bruuuce.com TEAL BLUE shirt…….
I have a business trip to Norfolk the week of Sept 8th that just so happens to get me to town in time to catch Bruce at the Bay Days. Amazing how well the timing worked out (wink wink)….Anyway, all the talk on this blog has me psyched for a great day of music.
Anything special an out-of-towner should know about the Bay Days?
