“Happy New Beer”! – Janée’s 2016 Year in Beer Recap

It’s time to say goodbye to 2016! (Bye, Felicia!) But first, let’s take a look back at the beer stats, “beercations”, festivals, new brewery visits and more that make up my 2016 review of my year in beer. Let’s start with the number of new breweries I’ve visited this year! This year… drumroll please… I […]

Cali Beercation, Day 3 – The Redwoods & Anderson Valley

Day 3 was our day with the most driving and the least number of stops. But Ben and I agreed that it was our favorite day out of the whole trip! We stayed in Oregon the night before and drove into California. Our main mission for the day was to drive on Avenue of the […]

Happy New Beer!: Janée’s “Year In Beer” for 2014

Another year has come and gone. And you know what that means… It’s time for a recap, lists, some statistics, and maybe even a New Year’s Resolution! Here’s my “Year In Beer” for 2014: In 2014, I visited a grand total of 106 breweries! What breweries did I visit? Well I’m glad you asked! 1. […]

Asheville Beercation

A few weekends ago, Ben and I FINALLY visited Asheville for the first time since moving to North Carolina 6 months ago! But let’s step back a minute before I get to those breweries… At the beginning of the year, I set a goal for myself to visit 52 breweries within the year. That was […]

COLORADO BEERCATION – Part 2

Colorado – Day 2 We woke up in Denver and headed toward Colorado Springs for some morning beers. I don’t often find myself in awe of my surroundings, but the drive to our first brewery was unlike any other drive. The sun was shining bright as those mammoth mountains stood with snow-capped peaks, far better […]

COLORADO BEERCATION – Part 1

Colorado. Was. Epic. First of all, it was beautiful. Breathtakingly beautiful. Ben had been there once before and had told me that once I visited, I would fall in love with it. I’ve always been a warm weather, beach-loving, sun-loving vacation-taker. The only “cold” place I ever care to vacation to is Alaska. Living in […]

Catching Up: Pre-Colorado Breweries

Oh, hey! It’s me again. My poor blog has been neglected for a few months. But if you follow me on Twitter or Untappd, you knew I was alive and well! (Or maybe you had some doubts after my 60 Untappd check-ins last weekend. But more on that later!) Since my last check-in, I might […]

Another Saturday, Another Brewery

Brewery #9: The Gamble Mill, Bellefonte, PA – Feb. 22 I don’t really sit still well. I’ve been a very social person for most of my life, and staying in on the weekends is something that I rarely do, mostly by design. So late Saturday afternoon, I got home from helping my sister judge a […]

The First 8 Breweries

I have some catching up to do on my brewery visit blog check-ins! As you probably already read, this year’s goal is to visit 52 breweries (one for each week, basically). Some of my posts will be reviews and stories from these visits. Because I already scratched off 6 before I started my blog, I […]
