I have been wanting to try this Tampa Brewery for awhile. I have had some of their beers at some of the Tampa/St. Pete restaurants that carry craft beer but we finally made the trek to Angry Chair when my son Conner was home for the weekend from college. We Uber’d from Tampa […]
This is a great “non-touristy” Italian restaurant just around the corner from the Trevi Fountain in Rome. The Trevi fountain was closed because it is under repair (photo shown above). We had lunch there and I got the smoked salmon sandwich (check out photo above). I am noting this restaurant not as much for the […]
This was definitely the best meal we had while in Italy. It is the La Taverna restaurant in Perugia, Italy (yes where Amanda Knox had her drama). My wife (Marnie Schmidt) posted a review on TripAdvisor on July 3, 2015 so I thought the easiest thing for me to do is copy that review below. […]
My wife and I took a www.goaheadtours.com guided tour of Italy in June with some friends of ours that were celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary. We had a 2 day delay getting out of the US due to flight issues but when we got there we started in Florence, spent 2 days in Siena, […]
Thumb Brewery is a new Brew Pub located in Caseville, MI. Caseville is about 15 minutes from our vacation place in Port Austin, MI. I heard they had a new brewery (only one in town) and had to check it out. I guess they opened May 2014 but we didn’t get a chance to check […]
I noted this as Port Austin but it is actually in Grindstone City which is about 5 miles to the East of Port Austin, MI on M25. We usually try to make a stop here because they are located right on the marina at Grindstone and they have pretty good food. They are now under […]
We have a vacation place in Port Austin, MI and have been coming here for about 15 years. It is a great area small port city located on Lake Huron with a great breakwall where you can watch the sun rise and set (since you are at the “tip of the thumb”. The Landing Tavern […]
If you like IPA’s, this is the place for you. We stopped at the Dekum Pub which is in between downtown Portland and the airport (closer to the airport). We did a sampler of 6 different beers (Untapp’d ratings below). It was kind of strange that their flagship IPA was not on draft (only available […]
Pfreim is one of my favorite breweries in Hood River. It is relatively new (started in 2012) and is located between the freeway and the Columbia River. It is close to the marina and within walking distance from downtown Hood River. They have excellent food and great beers. I have been here before and have […]
Solera is about 20 minutes outside of Hood River, OR. I travel to Hood River several times a year and have tried all the breweries in town but we had yet to try the Solera brewery just outside of Hood River toward’s Mt. Hood. It was a rainy day so my outside pictures are kind […]
