Craft Beer Travel & Adventure

Old Dominick Distillery dates back to the late 1800s and was founded by Domenico Canale, an Italian immigrant. Having family in Memphis, with origins in the fruit business, Canale headed to Tennessee to join the business. Realizing he’d rather make whiskey instead of selling fruit, Old Dominick, the whiskey, was born. Three days before Prohibition, Canale passed away, and whiskey production and sa...

“We’re going on an adventure!!!” Who doesn’t love a good adventure? We absolutely love going on adventures. Spending the summer of 2021 in the Flathead Valley of Montana, we certainly found our fair share. One of the most memorable, however, was a simple backpacking trip into the mountains of the Jewel Basin to Crater Lake. Nothing outstanding happened. No turmoil. No broken limbs. No grizzly conf...

When we first moved into our RV, we were planning on traveling with our dog. Pali, our nine-year-old red Doberman with the best floppy ears, had other plans. She refused to get into the RV no matter what we tried. Since our boys were now living in their childhood home and Pali grew up there, too, she stayed with them. Pali has since crossed the Rainbow Bridge to frolic in the fields with her siste...

We've always said that beer isn't just about the beer; it's about the people. This mantra holds true when it's really not about the beer, but hard kombucha instead. To be exact, Hooch Booch Kombucha. And the tough as nails yoga chick that created it.  Hooch Booch Kombucha We first met Anna Zesbaugh, the founder of Hooch Booch, during a canning day at Woods Boss Brewing Company in D...

The only constant is change. And today, we can add "pivot" to that constant. Oftentimes we pivot to stay afloat, but if we've paid attention to our needs, we pivot on our terms to keep things alive, vibrant, exciting. Humans aren't static creatures. We're fluid. We pivot. And so does Jason Moore of the Zero to Travel Podcast. This is his story of transitioning from nomad to exp...

Bridges to the community both within Bridg...

Multiple rivers flow into Mobile Bay, and as they do so, they slow down, spread out and cross paths with each other, forming a braided river system. David Nelson latched onto that analogy between the rivers and the brewing community, and Braided River Brewing Company in Mobile, Alabama, was born. Combining this philosophy with the outdoor activities popular in Mobile Bay, such as kayaking and cano...

One that follows historical brewing techniques, utilizes natural ingredients and processes, and stays true to its...

As always, the breweries we visit and share with you are more often than not, more about the people than the beer. Don't get us wrong, the beer has to be good for us to want to share it with you, but the people are always the selling point.  And it was no different when we met Jason Randles, Branding and Marketing Manager at Crux Fermentation Project in Bend, Oregon. From the moment he said hi...
