In case you noticed, we’ve been on a bit of a sabbatical from the blog the past several weeks. We took a small break from writing – first to take a trip to visit family in Florida, and then to catch up from the work that piled up while we were away. The extra catch-up work was totally worth it, though! We had fun spending time with family in Florida… too much time goes by between visits. While […]
Look out Asheville! In just a few months a group of wild and rascally beer bloggers and writers will be making our way to your town. While we’re there we will do our best to drink through your local beer supply, and we’ll probably bog down your neighborhood Wi-Fi with our posts, tweets, and Instagrams. In return, we’ll be happy to spend our hard-earned cash on brewery tee shirts and beer, and most importantly, we […]
This weekend something rare and wonderful happened: we had nothing on our calendar! I can’t stress enough how rarely that happens to us. It’s crazy how busy life can seem sometimes, which is why it’s incredible whenever we can wake up in the morning with no agenda, no plans, and no commitments for the day. We decided to spend our free day doing what we love best, exploring some great Colorado craft breweries! After checking our […]
In our last post, we visited the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Fort Collins. Sure, visiting the big beer maker was interesting, but no visit to Fort Collins is complete without checking out their incredible craft beer scene. In previous trips, we’ve already visited New Belgium Brewing, Odell Brewing, and Fort Collins Brewing Co. This time we decided to get through a few more new, or new to us, craft brewing spots. There is certainly not a […]
For the past two years, we’ve made the 6 hour trip to Durango for the Ska Brewing Anniversary Party each September. But while Ska Brewing is our destination, it’s only one stop in our journey. We make the most of this road trip by visiting our favorite places along the route, which always includes a stop to the fun and lovely town of Pagosa Springs.
Last weekend we took a road trip to Durango for Ska Brewing’s annual Anniversary Party and Brewers Invitational. You can read about it here. During our road trip we traveled through several great cities – big and small – a few of which had breweries. It seemed rude not to stop, so we did whenever we could. Today we want to tell you about our first stop in Alamosa to visit San Luis Valley Brewing […]
Saturday in San Diego at the 2014 Beer Bloggers Conference Saturday started bright and early, with coffee instead of beer. We had a full agenda on Saturday including some great sessions about blogging, photography, and ethics. We learned a ton, but I’m sure that’s not what you want to hear about. You probably want to know about the booze-filled events, right? Well here you go:
Last post we told you about the fun and adventures we had just getting to the 2014 Beer Bloggers Conference (BBC14), before any real business took place. Today we want to tell you about the highlights of our first day of the conference. Spoiler alert: we had more beer.
If you have been keeping tabs on your Bottle Makes Three team on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, you may have noticed that we were away last week. We were off to San Diego for the 2014 Beer Bloggers Conference where we picked up some blogging tips, made new friends, and drank some great beer. A lot of beer. Seriously, a helluva lot of beer. It all started when we arrived in California on Thursday. Queue the […]
Jeff and I are not what you would call good planners. With so many fun things to choose from each weekend, we rarely know what we’re going to do until we’re halfway there. Case in point, it was a lazy Saturday morning a few weeks back when we had no plans and were still in our pajamas figuring out what to do. I happened to look back over our very own event calendar, (plug!) where […]
Thanks to Frontier Airlines and their rock-bottom, no-frills prices, we took another trip to Las Vegas this week. It was an inexpensive spur of the moment trip that came at just the right time, getting us out of the daily rainstorms in Colorado and into the blazing hot sun of Nevada. It was fabulous to spend days at the pool and nights knocking back drinks at the craps table. After three days of excessive drinking, […]
