    Austin: Drinking–Winter Loop to Austin

    This post is from our visit in January 2017 when we took a Winter Loop to Austin trip! We were in Austin for eight days, and we visited TEN breweries. You’re welcome–our job is to research local beer for you, and we take our job very seriously. We also had a few drinks at non-brewery locations, including cocktails, coffee/tea,…

    Austin: Eating–Winter Loop to Austin

    This post is from our visit in January 2017 when we took a Winter Loop to Austin trip! We ate SO much and drank SO much in eight days in Austin that since coming home, we’ve been on a strict exercise regimen. It was so, so worth it. We had some phenomenal food experiences in…

    We first visited Damascus in August 2016. Read about our second visit in September 2023 here.

  • Two days in Jonesborough, TN–Big Trip #1

    Two days in Jonesborough, TN–Big Trip #1

    We visited Jonesborough in June 2016 during Big Trip #1. This was a great stop for us–fantastic camping, rewarding hiking, good beer and delicious tacos. One activity we missed was exploring historic Jonesborough, which looks quaint and lovely, but we prioritized enjoying our sweet campsite over driving more. We’ll just have to go back! Campground We stayed…

  • Three days in Bardstown, KY–Big Trip #1

    Three days in Bardstown, KY–Big Trip #1

    We visited Bardstown in June 2016 during Big Trip #1. We interrupt this beer-soaked narrative to bring you a brief tale of bourbon. Bardstown, in the heart of Kentucky bourbon country and with five distilleries of its own, is called the Bourbon Capital of the World. Even if you quit drinking bourbon in college (yep, that’s…

  • Three days in Houghton, MI–Big Trip #1

    Three days in Houghton, MI–Big Trip #1

    We visited Houghton in late May 2016, as part of Big Trip #1. Raise your hand if you can point out Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on a map. Anyone? Yeah, I couldn’t either. Michigan is often referred to as the Mitten State, because, well, look at it and you’ll see the mitten and thumb. But look closer and you’ll…

  • Two days in Laramie, WY–Big Trip #1

    Two days in Laramie, WY–Big Trip #1

    We visited Laramie in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. We didn’t do a whole lot in Laramie. It’s a sleepy Old West city, home of the University of Wyoming, a couple breweries, a charming little crossroads of a downtown, and not much else. Except for the first hour we were in town, the weather was terrible–snow and…
