SF Beer Week!

I just have to start by saying all of the following pictures are blatantly stolen from the Dr. Mookie Love Blog .

And Happy SF Beer Week! Its a wonderful time of year when beer enthusiast can gather and drink and nerd out. We started off by attending Beer Talk, which is like Ted Talks but with more drinking. There were 7 speakers from various breweries, all of whom brought yummy things for us to drink while discussing important beer issues. Of all the beverages consumed my favorites above all were from 50/50, their bourbon barrel porter, Eclypse; and Anchors first IPA in 75 years. Deeeeelightful.

We headed out and off to the east bay to check out the Sierra Nevada Torpedo Room!

We tried some lovely brews, and as usual my favorite was a high octain barrel aged beauty. We also hit up Elevation 66, to try the Double Rye PA I helped brew a few weeks ago! Its really good, and they also had on tap the Barrel aged version of the Scotch Ale. So good!!

Sunday we hot up Steep brewery and tap room for Anchors Debute of the above mentioned IPA. We got to meet the brewers and chat them up. 

From there we headed to a fundraiser for our brew guilds master, he's trying to open a nano brewery and tap room!! People from the guild brought beers for people to try, all of which were really nice, the stand outs were a California Common by Jen and a Coco Brown. Oh, and there was Poutine!!

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
