Brew Week FREE NIGHT!

Wednesday of Brew Week is always nice, because there's usually nothing I have to be at, so I just get to go and drink beer! Which I also did on Monday this year. What a great week! Today we started at The Red Brick. We got Summer Ale, Solstice White Wit Bier, Raspberry Porter, and Wheat Cloud.

We decided to stay for the meatball eating contest.

Which I totally regretted because it was DISGUSTING!!!! I decided I am not a fan of eating contests.

Then we went to the Pigskin. I decided not to mess around with the sample sizes, and just got a big old pint of the Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter. I wanted to climb into my cup and swim around!!

We ended the night with the Strawberry Kolsch at 19 South.

Brew Week Cooking Competition

Tonight was the Cooking Competition at Abrio's.

Summer got a mini sampler!

My favorite by FAR was the Bourbon Barrel Series beer from Marietta Brewing Company. DELICIOUS. DELICIOUS. DELICIOUS.

Sausages!

Scallop and pork.

More pork!

Vegetarian.

Mmmmm portery chocolateyness.

Mmm, more bourbon barrel beer.

OHIO!

Brew Week Begins!

Brew week starts today! It was extra exciting this year, because Clark and Anne came down to taste some beers. First, we tried the Strawberry Kolsch at 19 South. It was delicious!

Then we went to The Crystal for Weasel Boy Brewing Company's Mango Wheat.

Then to The Pigskin! We got several samples, but most importantly, the Willoughby Brewing Company's Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter. One of my FAVORITES from last year.

This is how I look when I am describing how delicious it is, because it is SO. DELICIOUS.

PawPurrs. Erie Blu, and Blueberry Ale.

We finished things off with a delightful assortment from Jackie O's. It was such a delicious night!

Taco Night

Tonight we had my parents over for venison taco night!

Dishing up.

Peeping Tom!

Dinner on the deck! Yay!

Cabin Trip

Ben and I headed out to Dennis's cabin for the night. On our way, we passed a giant slip and slide! It's just like the one we used to do! Except theirs had no landing pool, so ours was way cooler.

Mmm, beer.

Hanging out on the porch.

Self portrait gone creepy.

Fire time!

The next morning, Dennis made pancakes! Ben was SUPER excited.

Mmm, we put peaches on top!

Down by the wood shop.
