Since COVID, there hasn’t been many beer adventures to write about. Recently I traveled to Birmingham on a business trip with a work colleague for a week. While we were there we were able to do a few beer related activities with the help of a new friend. We first got into town and went […]
Crescent Beach, Florida
Well it has been quite awhile since the family packed up and headed to the beach for vacation. And it was long overdue. We set sail for Crescent Beach, which is halfway between St. Augustine and Palm Coast, Florida. We looked forward to relaxing for the week and seeing as much as we could while […]
Jackson, Mississippi
Jackson, Mississippi. Its’s been awhile since I’ve been to Mississippi and it was a nice time to visit with the boom of craft beer in the South. One doesn’t think of Mississippi as a mecca of craft beer so I had to do a little digging after getting into town to try to find local […]
Murphy, North Carolina
The family and I have not had the opportunity to travel much this year, so when it was time to head to the mountains for a long weekend we were all ready to go. We headed out for the 3 hour drive to Murphy, NC where we had rented a cabin at the Murphy/Peace Valley […]
