You know, it’s summer in New Zealand right now. Watching this trailer for The Waters of Greenstone makes me insanely jealous, both as a fly fisherman and as an outdoors traveler. Crystal streams, majestic mountains, riverside campsites…I can’t wait to see this film about two friends from Tennessee who explore the backcountry of NZ. Thanks to Orvis News for the [...]
I’m a big fan of Allagash Brewing, and so far, they have, in my eyes, done no wrong. When I went to Arizona for my brother’s wedding last May, I had the honor of sampling some of New Belgium‘s Fat Tire. When I saw that Allagash—brewers of the inimitable Black and Curieux Belgian style beers—and New Belgium—purveyors of hoppy, malty [...]
Mark this one down in the books folks, for Wednesday December 15, 2010 was an historic day. On that day, the Baxter Brewing Company of Lewiston, Maine held its first public tasting of the brewery’s first beers. And I was there. See, this is a big deal for me. I’ve only been interested in craft beer for a few years, [...]
This is the second part of a two part series about the author’s adventures at the Bay Area Brewfest. If you’re looking for part one, click here. From the entrance way, it seemed like the Bay Area Brewfest was tiny. However, as I walked through the boisterous crowd, I realized it wasn’t small at all; in fact the Festival Pavilion [...]
I had no idea that before this year, Colorado didn’t have a women-only mountain bike race. Of course, there are many pro women racers, and I’m sure there are women-only races all over the country, but wow, Colorado…really? Well, good on them for now having the Beti Bike Bash, which is coming back for more in 2011. Check out this [...]
I’ve always wanted to have a fish story. You know, a tale of the big one that got away, the story I could inflate to such grand proportions that no one would believe me but everyone would love me for telling such a hilarious and entertaining story. Since I started fly fishing in late July, I still have yet to [...]
I’m lucky enough to live in Lewiston, Maine right now (haha, that’s a joke you’d probably only get if you live here in Maine). The problem is, that is a joke. But Luke Livingston, a Lewiston native has other ideas for his fair city, and he’s taken the first step toward helping to change Lewiston’s image by starting his own [...]
On this particular day, I woke up with noticeable pep in my step. This wasn’t any normal Saturday. No sir, this was the day of the Bay Area Brewfest. As I alluded to in my prior post, I recently moved to San Francisco’s East Bay. That being said, this was my first brew fest since the relocation. And for the [...]
Did you know you can hike to the National Christmas Tree on December 12 with a bunch of other hardy souls? Did you also know that the National Christmas Tree is not in Washington, D.C.? The National Parks Traveler blog has a nice little article about the event to be held on Decmeber 12. If you’re in the Kings Canyon [...]
