| - Monkey Boy Monkey Girl I want to be your Monkey Stepmother and be a part of the family!
I recently did a "Beer Hike" through Venture Outdoors. We hiked through Frick Park for 2 hrs (4 miles, I tell people I hiked 4 miles bc saying I walked in Frick for 2 hours isnt as impressive sounding), and then we went to E End Brewing for a tour/tasting, and then we got growlers.
My boyfriend doesnt know it yet but the next time I get him for a whole Saturday (he works weekends), we are going on a picnic in Frick Park but first I'm going to surprise him by making him stop in for a beer tasting and getting him a growler.
the best part of this is I'm going to first convince him i want to adopt yet another cat and make him drive all the way over to the Animal Rescue League. (the brewery is one block up). He'll need a drink after this...
I loved the tour! Our guide knew his stuff, took us through the whole brewery, and the beers were delicious. I drank an entire growler over the course of Saturday night and I do not care, it was so delicious, I could not stop! We tasted Monkey Boy (my favorite beer, light, refreshing, aromatic!), Fat Gary (I liked it but I didn't love it, it was a nutty brown ale w caramel undertones--a good beer to drink on a rainy afternoon), Monkey Girl which was so good I wish I'd birthed as my own human daughter (i can't describe it, its a browner ale version of Monkey Boy and sooooo good), and the Wit beer which was also very good.
Did you know there is delicious beer being brewed in the E End, and they have growler hours where you can sample all the beers and take home a growler of your favorite for about $12? That's 5 craft beers for $12. If your wife doesnt want you going to growler hour, tell her about the cost per beer ratio. She'll kiss you for being thrifty and wise.
They do tours of the brewery by appointment, I did mine via Venture Outdoors but it was a fantastic afternoon, and I loved the beer!
Prost!
And also, my house is full of pets, there are cats and dogs everywhere, but if you're home has room please do adopt a pet from the ARL. :)
