2016 Beer Log - March

-
Continuing to share my exploration of beer, I present you March 2016. A weekend of bad decisions was included so beer consumption was done without a second thought during the last few weeks of the #250KChallenge. 

One day I will finish Whisk(e)y Distilled and move onto The Beer Wench's Guide to Beer. Until then...

We met with Allagash Brewing Company and I had a taste of something. Common occurrence - I don't remember what I was tasting. I really need to use Untappd more.

We left work early to start our vacation to Vegas even though our flight was delayed to 11 pm. We went to Quinn's Lighthouse Restaurant in Oakland but killed more time at Cleophus Quealy Beer Company that was located super close to where I usually park my car when traveling from Oakland International Airport. We each has something different. There was a food truck and the spot was busy that Friday night.

And they're dog friendly!

Then we headed off to the airport and waited for Morgan to arrive while we had a pint of Pyramid Outburst Imperial IPA and a shot.


Beer was not my choice of poison while in Vegas but DW was participating in Stone Brewing Co.'s IPA Madness during March Madness. We put on a different beer every day that week and featured at $6. I terribly needed to detox after Vegas.

And that detox lasted until the weekend. I met up with someone at The Hop Grenade in Concord, CA across the way from Todos Santos Park. They have outdoor seating, several beers on tap, a long and wide communal near the back and a studio! This is where they broadcast the show, The Brewing Network. Very cool.

Speaking of Twitter, their menu boards also post tweets that mention them and who's here! So check me out on both. I checked in via Swarm and linked it to my Twitter.

The bridge railing was pretty awesome and they have events going on all the time. It's a pretty cool spot.


I had the flight but didn't write down what I selected.


And that's it for March! April...

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
