Last night, Mal and I hung out with our friends Blain and Jaime. You might remember them from their wedding this summer or Blain as the guy who designed CNC #2 and #3. Blain and Jaime are a lot of fun; we had a ton of laughs last night. Man, I wish they lived closer. [...]

Wow! What an event! I’ve attended all sorts of wine tastings over the years, but nothing like Mohegan’s Sun WineFest! Featuring beer, wine, specialty spirits and delectable dishes this weekend extravaganza has something for everyone. Wine and beer enthusiasts can select from over 1,000 brands or enjoy tastings of specialty sponsor spirits. Foodies can sample [...]

It’s that time of year again, and pumpkin is everywhere, including beer. Here are my favorite pumpkin brews right now. Pumpkinhead Ale – Shipyard Shipyard Pumpkinhead is my go-to pumpkin beer. It’s easy to find in this part of the country (on draft and in a bottle), and it’s a good, quality pumpkin beer that [...]

What a fun event! The Saratoga Brewfest was the perfect way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon. The Saratoga Brewfest was held at a beautiful, picturesque family farm in Ballston Spa, New York. It featured over 100 different beers, a special Belgian-style beer tent, food, local venders, and live music. And the best part about the event (besides the [...]

A couple of weeks ago, Mal asked me how I wanted to celebrate my birthday this year. After last year’s big birthday bash for my 30th, I wanted to do something much more low-key, so I suggested going to Meadhall for dinner and beer with a few friends. I heard such great things about Meadhall, so I [...]

Wow! What a fun-filled weekend! Running, friends, good beer, and good food— everything I could have ever wanted on a vacation! After the Mini 10K and brunch, I headed back to the hotel to quickly shower and get Mal. We had plans to meet friends at Blind Tiger in about an hour, so I really needed [...]

The beer gods were looking down on me last week! My good friends, Blain and Jaime, are getting married in a couple of weeks in Ballston Spa, New York. Of course, Mal and I will be there will bells on to celebrate their big day. The wedding isn’t scheduled to start until the early evening [...]

Mal ended up feeling sort of sick on his birthday (poor guy), so we decided to celebrate at home. We ordered take-out from Lime Leaf, drank a couple of beers, and worked on a painting project together. I guess you could say we had a paint party! It’s taken several months, but our sun porch (<– [...]

Not these guys: But, how fun would THAT be!?! After the Party Ready event, I headed over to The Ginger Man to meet a few drinking buddies. I first fell in love with The Ginger Man back in April when Theordora and I spent the afternoon carb-loading for the More|Fitness Women’s Half Marathon. It’s a chill, [...]

Last night, Mal and I enjoyed a birthday celebration for our friend, Kaitlyn, at Foundry on Elm in Davis Square. For months, our friends have raved about this place, so I was really excited to experience it for myself. When we arrived, the bar was hopping! Pretty Things Beer launched their new Field Mouse’s Farewell [...]
