Well, it’s been an age or so. Since I last posted anything on this blog, I birthed a child who is nearly three years old now, and my family moved from Oakland to Cleveland, and of course, a global pandemic changed everything. One thing that didn’t change, though, was how much the fella and I…
After our visit to Concrete Beach Brewery and lunch at Coyo Taco, we decided to check out one more brewery in the Wynwood district before heading to campus for a University of Miami basketball game. It was down to Wynwood or J. Wakefield, and quite honestly, we picked J. Wakefield because our car was parked…
I’m wayyy behind on beer content (more about that in a future post), but I still have notes and photos, so I thought I’d return to my Florida trip last November and post about another brewery that we visited. I mentioned in my Funky Buddha post that I spent a couple of years in Miami,…
I studied at the University of Miami during our back-to-back trips to the football national championship game in 2002 and 2003, so it was no accident that we were in Miami for the first Notre Dame-Miami football to be played in Miami in a couple of decades. We had talked about going for months, especially…
Our last stop on our Napa/Sonoma trip was Horse & Plow. Our bartender at Sonoma Cider recommended it, and since it was mostly on the way home, we decided to make the short detour to check out one more spot and prolong Sunday Funday. Horse & Plow makes both cider and wine. I don’t know…
All right, I know that Sonoma is a cidery, not a brewery, but I love craft cider as much as I love craft beer, and I tend to weight them equally if the cider is good. So, the fella and I decided to head north from Sonoma, CA, on our recent wine and beer weekend…
I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Mad Fritz Beer. It was unlike any other brewery visit I have ever experienced, and the fella and I were inspired enough to buy one of every beer that we tasted. Mad Fritz is run by Nile and Whitney, who started out as winemakers. Nile…
So I went to Regina, Saskatchewan, last weekend. That’s a sentence you don’t often hear from Americans, right? Or even that many Canadians, honestly. But I was in Regina, and it wasn’t even my first time. I was there to photograph Skate Canada International for Ice-Dance.com. I was busy in the arena for all of…
On Sunday, the fella and I decided to escape the heat of our sans-AC apartment in Oakland and head across the Bay to San Francisco for a few brewery visits. Little did we know that it would be just as hot and un-air-conditioned in SF, but we had a great day anyway. Our first stop…
