The Great American Beer Festival Experience 2019

Longfellow Community Hops

When I travel, I seek out the experiences that are tied to their geographic location. This usually means food and beer, but also museums, thrift stores, and gardens. I want flavors and sights unique to the place I’m visiting. I’m not trying to go to McDonalds and then sit in a Cinemark theater. I’m trying […]

There is something deeply satisfying about crackin There is something deeply satisfying about cracking open the first beer of your latest homebrew batch. The anticipation after 2 weeks of fermentation followed by 2 weeks of bottle conditioning is high! Will it be delicious, or did I manage to fuck it up somehow? 

Meet Dark Sister, a black IPA brewed with rye and hopped with Chinook, Cascade, Idaho 7, and Talus. I'm happy to say it turned out very drinkable and I had a great time brewing it with my cousin, @butterspuppy! As always, many thanks to the @hopbombshells for helping me build confidence and passion for brewing. You are the best! ❤️ Jenni 🍻

It's hard to believe this organization has been fighting to preserve Utah's Wasatch Mountains for half a century! Here's a toast to all the hard work they've put into protecting one of the most precious resources we have here in Salt Lake City - our beautiful mountains and canyons! 🍻 ~J
