There are over 3000 breweries operating in the United States, with more opening nearly every day. While they all certainly have their individual merits, there are only a handful breweries that can be considered true tourist destinations. During last month’s trip to Asheville for the Beer Bloggers & Writers Conference, we were able to visit one of these destination breweries: Sierra Nevada in Mills River.
We Will Travel For Beer Jeff and I love to travel, and we love beer, so it’s a thrill to visit new places and get to explore their local beer scene. In just a few days we’ll be flying across the country to North Carolina for our next beer trip, to the 2015 Beer Bloggers and Writers Conference. This is our second year attending the conference (you can read about last year’s trip here) and we’ve been counting down […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
Holy crap, it’s been almost three months since we’ve had a serious post. How does that happen? It seems like the last few months of the year are just a crazy time for us. I know that I’m a big part of the problem, given that I’m the designated writer and my work tends to get super crazy-stressful between October and January. Yep, blame it on work, or the holidays, or social obligations or whatever […]
Will you ever forgive us for being so neglectful to our little blog? It’s been about three months since our last post. There’s no excuse for being gone so long, so we won’t even bother making one up. Instead, we’ll just move forward, and recap some of what we’ve been up to over the past 89 days.
Last Friday was the Winter Brew Fest here in Denver but we didn’t attend. We didn’t even consider buying tickets! Now if you don’t think this sounds like us, you’d be right. However, we just returned from one of the few cities in the U.S. that embraces drinking even more than Denver — New Orleans. We took a trip to the Crescent City with 8 of our friends for a long-weekend getaway. The trip was […]
