Brew Weekend NorCal

So last weekend I was whisked away by a sweet, wonderful man to consume delightful beverages and frolic in the woods! Yea, my teeth are rotting to from that last statment to.This weekend was a good adventure weekend though. First we went  ate at Big Boys Burgers, it was AMAZING!! and it RAINED!I litterally havnt seem rain in months, and its my favorite. Then we were off to Hendy Woods, a beautiful little state park up near Boonville. All of my pictures are sadly on my camera still but i will post them soon. After wondering the woods in basically a privet escersion, we headed to Anderson Valley Brewery, home of Boont! And many other delightful beverages. we sampled some wonderful things (my favorite was the soured barley wine!) then took a tour and played with their brew dog, Luke.

After that We headed to the Hamberger Ranch, and as you can see from the delightful BBQ above its a BBQ joint. One we really enjoy and had on Steves Birthday last year :3 Next off to Santa Rosa for some Russian River Brewing!

It was packed so we headed out with some bottles and off to Lagunitas! They were also super busy but had a tour we decided to wait for. I understand busy bar tenders, but I HATE to be ignored. HATE IT. So I was a little grumpy.. but we eventually got our drinks, which were immensly better then the service! :3 Try the barrel aged stuff!

After a day of drinking and enjoying, we headed home to transfer our own bourbon barrel porter, and add the wood chips and bourbon.. (since we have to barrel!) 

Then we cracked open some Russian River delight!The Pliney the Elder is supposed to be one of the best in the world, and I have to agree. All were delightfull! And we enjoyed with our Oregon Rogue cups.

Oregon- Part 4

So friday we had to pack up and head out. before we left we took one last ride on the toys, omg sandrail fun yay!!!

Handsome Gentleman friend planned a night for us in Klammath Falls, so we took another unconventional route, which was beautiful. we saw a great herd of elk on the side of the road. I know thats not exciting for most but for me, super happy fun time :3

Look at that scruffy man!

At the peak it was snowing!!

A stop at Diamond lake, I think i need to camp there

Finally we arrived in Crater Lake. This was my first trip to it, and it really is as beautiful as everyone says. We took a few hours driving around the, took a short hike to see the Phantom Ship and collected some smashed pennies.

But sadly we soon had to be on our way. We pulled into Klammath Falls and checked in. We were exhausted so headed to the taco truck in the parking lot of the hotel, I know this may bother some people, but I LOVE TACO TRUCK!!! 

The next morning we headed to Klamath Brewing company. Their Vanilla Porter is exquisit, and the red ale is about perfect. We also split a burger, the Oregon Logger... see images below....

Ya, thats a burger. We also got a free, surprise tour by the asstiant brew master :3

Piggy mini kegs!!

As we reentered California, we stopped at Redding to see the walking bridge. I was only about 98 out...

Because my man is amazing we stopped in my homeland of sacramento for my favorite tacos, La Fiesta!! GF got the wet burrito, which was about as big as his head.

We also stopped at Donut King, my childhood donut shop, and home of the strawberry frosted donut. mmmmm
