Beer

Yep, a post about beer.  Because I need a mental (and physical) break from the damn bookcases that are sucking the life out of me.  We do have all the shelf cleats up and are still making progress, but I'm tired of talking about it.  Let's talk about the Great Lakes Brewfest that we went to a couple weeks ago instead!  Beer helps you through any project, right?
It took place at Racine's Festival Park, on the beautiful Lake Michigan shore.  They had over 90 craft breweries for our drinking pleasure, and Lakefront Brewery even had a dude walking around with a keg on his back so you didn't have to wait in line!  That is service.
We made some pretzel necklaces to make sure we didn't get drunkity after an hour, you can see my really long necklace in this picture of me with a dude wearing a ladies shirt.
It says "I bet you wish these were filled with beer" across the chest.  I couldn't resist a picture with this stud!  We made some new friends...
And checked out the boats, even though it was rather chilly that day. 
Then I asked Shaun to take a picture of me with my beer, and this unflattering little photoshoot happened:  
But I finally managed to look normal for the last one. 
And then we got a nice one together, even though ALL THE PRETZELS WERE GONE and we were still drinking.  Watch out!
One of our new friends looked a bit like Shaun when he's sporting longer hair and a mustache, so we took a very serious picture at a bar post-festival to document their twin-dom. 
Watch out, they will cut you!

  2. You are hilarious! My hubby loves craft beer and I bet he'd love that event. I'm more of a wine gal, so I always get to be the DD at beer events. Looks like fun!

  7. I think as bloggers we're allowed a brain-break every once and a while (ie- my "things I wish would fall out of the sky" post yesterday). I may need another one after we finish the guest room and guest post we're working on. Also, I think the "unflattering" photoshoot was hilarious/adorable.

  9. haha, new friend looks like drunk friend.

    I noticed during your photoshoot, the pretzels seemed to be disappearing.....heheh, but I disagree with your assessment of the photos being non-flattering, I think you look so cute in all of them!

    Looks like the brewfest was fun! Jealous!
