Our dad is a huge fan of craft beer and a lot of his favorite breweries are located in California. It’s no surprise that a craft beer tour of California is on his vacation bucket list. So today we’re sharing with you a potential do-it-yourself itinerary for visiting some of the great California breweries.
This past weekend I was able to attend the Long Beach Island, NJ 2nd Annual Hop Sauce Festival, something that I had been looking forward to since last year when I found out about the 1st Annual Hop Sauce Festival the day after it occurred. Needless to say, I was seriously bummed I had missed… Continue reading Favorite Festivals: Hop Sauce Festival
It seems like every year, more and more summer beers are appearing on tap at my local bars. This year, we decided that it was finally time to figure out which summer beers we should be buying for our barbecues and which we should not. Being the engineer that I am, I of course, took… Continue reading Drink This: Best Summer Brews
It’s been almost two month’s since we ate at The Public Kitchen & Bar during our trip to Savannah, but I can still remember the delicious food like it was yesterday. The restaurant describes itself as “Contemporary Fresh American fare coupled with a sophisticated, mid-century modern decor”, which is pretty spot on. It took us a… Continue reading Eat Here: The Public Kitchen & Bar
Whenever I head to the liquor store, I always make it a point to wander through the craft beer section just to see what’s new. This week I stumbled across Dogfish Head’s Tweason’ale. While this beer has been on shelves since early 2012, this was the first time I had run across it.

And let’s be honest, there isn’t a huge difference between a Hilton… Continue reading Making the Most out of Conference Travel: Austin

Since I am a sucker for themed dinners, I decided the entire meal would need to be inspired by the series. After browsing Pinterest for longer than I care to admit, I settled on a… Continue reading How To: Throw a Game of Thrones Themed Dinner
I’m only slightly embarrassed to say, that I first found out about Bowen’s Island Restaurant from the Bravo TV show Southern Charm. I always thought it looked like a really cool place to eat since it was right on the water, but I didn’t even know what it’s name was until I came across a… Continue reading Eat Here: Bowen’s Island Restaurant
We ate at Craftsmen Kitchen & Tap House on the first Sunday of our Spring Break trip to Charleston & Savannah. We got there around 3:30pm for what we were calling a super late lunch. We had made reservations the night before just in case it would be crowded, but not all that surprisingly, not… Continue reading Eat & Drink Here: Craftsmen Kitchen & Tap House
