Last Sunday my wife and I visited the Highland Games over in Winter Springs. Of course trying beer was a major part of our outing. Dunedin Brewery’s stall was easy to spot because of a sizable mountain of kegs piled up next to it. Dunedin Brewery is local from Dunedin FL, their year’s round lineup [...]
On Tuesday my wife and I took a trip to Ybor to see a show at The Czar. We went to see Korpiklaani, who among other things has a whole bunch of songs about drinking, especially beer (you really should check them out!). The show was awesome but plagued with setup difficulties, which led to [...]
My wife and I finally made it to Europe, for our wedding gift my parents paid for a trip for us to Hungary to look around and also to meet my relatives. I had two main goals on this trip to eat as much delicious Hungarian food as I could and to drink lots of [...]
