Eccentricities of a Wisconsin gal living in Jersey
Beer, festivals, and more beer, oh my! As much as I enjoy my snowy Wisconsin winters, summertime in Milwaukee just can't be beat. I took a quick trip home last weekend to see family and friends, sip some new brews, and of course, take in as much of what the city has to offer as... Continue Reading →
Milwaukee ain't called Brew City for nothing. Despite growing up in Milwaukee, I haven't always been a beer drinker (what can I say - it's an acquired taste, even for this gal). It's only been in the last few years (and ironically, since I've been living on the East Coast) that I've grown to like beer.... Continue Reading →
#natalies365photoproject Last year on my birthday (when I turned the big 3-0), I embarked on a year-long journey of taking one photo every day for the entire year. This wasn't my first go-around with a 365 photo project; I did one when I first moved to New Jersey and started it on my 25th birthday.... Continue Reading →
* * * Connor: What would you like to do this weekend? Me: Hmm...well, we've talked about going to Asbury Park... Connor: Let's do it! Who goes to the beach in the middle of February, you ask? Well, that'd be us. I'd never been to Asbury Park before and wasn't about to let a little... Continue Reading →
It occurred to me Sunday afternoon, as I was rummaging around in the refrigerator (and noticed that we have four—yes four—cold Wisconsin pumpkin beers), that The Boy and I have not done a pumpkin beer tasting at all this season, and Halloween is only a few days away. Oh. The. Humanity. So what better time... Continue Reading →
Real women don't drink light beer. Confession: despite being from Brew City, I haven't always enjoyed beer. In fact, it wasn't until moving to the East Coast that I became a bit of a beer snob; specifically, a Wisconsin beer snob. We take our beer seriously in Wisconsin. From Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee (OMG best brewery... Continue Reading →
It all started with an unexpected flight delay last Thursday morning. Well, four of them actually. The outlook for getting from Milwaukee to Philadelphia was grim. With the impending doom of a snow storm on the east coast, we rebooked our flight back east from the holidays to this morning (lucky too cause our multi-delayed... Continue Reading →
"If I'm walking by, it just looks like a headless horseman." When we last left our heroes, they were fiercely tasting, comparing, and enjoying two of their favorite pumpkin ales only to discover that the one they least expected to prevail, in fact, did! Now...they're at it again! Except this time, the pumpkin beer tasting... Continue Reading →
"Alright, is your palate clean?" "Mmm, hmmm." Tonight, The Boy and I finally decided to go for it: conduct a completely impromptu pumpkin beer tasting with our two favorites, Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale and Southern Tier Imperial Pumking Ale. We've been Weyerbacher snobs for quite some time now, but this past weekend at a frequent... Continue Reading →
