Saxapahaw, NC

One of my favorite stories starts here. It’s about time I talk about one of my favorite places in North Carolina, which will lead us to my hands down FAVORITE brewery, in North Carolina. You KNOW that I’m a storyteller. The struggle for me to keep it short is real! Here is part one of […]

Janee Farrar… Certified Cicerone®!

Merry Christmas to me! My goal for this year was to become a Certified Cicerone®, and I found out last night that I’ve joined the ranks! It had been about 5 and a half weeks since I had taken the test (around the same time frame when I found out my results last time!), so […]

In The Beer Business & The Importance of Telling My Story

Beer Bloggers Food And Beer Pairing Dinner

After almost a year of my blog’s existence, it’s still sometimes hard to believe it’s real. I feel like I just write about what I love. And I’m elated when someone actually wants to listen! Every single follow on Twitter, every single retweet of my blog post, and every single view my blog receives makes […]

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 […]
