Shall We Start Off with Some Beer?

February 11, 2012

It seems to me that the first post on a new blog is the hardest post. How do you bridge the awkward gap of nothing to something? Since blogs in general (especially mine) are personal, then I can't just jump into it. I have to introduce myself in some form (at least I've convinced myself that I do). I think that an interesting way of getting to know someone is by sharing random facts about yourself- I guess that's where I'll start.

So if you read my "about me" than you know a little bit of our background story. What I failed to mention is that we are beer junkies- well Rion is a beer junky and I'm one in the making.We have future dreams of owning a microbrewery that also serves farm-to-table food. Honestly, with each day that goes by I feel like we are getting closer and closer to that dream. Rion has such an incredible talent for brewing beers, and I have a passion for local and organic food. Makes sense, right?

Today we took one more step toward our goal by picking up a huge piece of Rion's new brew set up. His stepdad welded a frame for the brewing equipment, which will make the process much more efficient. It was also a big day because we actually had a day off together (this NEVER happens). Of course that means we must celebrate- and celebrate we did. 

We tried out Anchor Brewing Company's barley wine, Old Foghorn. With a good brew in hand we snuggled up on the couch, watched some 30 Rock, and listened to the wind outside! Can it get better than that?
