One More, Then We'll Go- a Night at MKE's Lakefront Brewery

-
They don't call Milwaukee "Brew City" for nothing. If there's one thing we know how to do here it's brew beer! There are tons of great brewery tours throughout the city, one of the most popular being Lakefront Brewery on Milwaukee's East Side.


Take the tour and learn the history behind Lakefront Brewery and the science that creates the beautiful nectar of the Gods we all know and love, beer. Lakefront Brewery has one of the most popular tours in Milwaukee and tickets sell out fast! Don't make the same mistake as I did and be sure to purchase tickets ahead of time online,but be wary, print is the only ticket option so be sure you have a printer handy. If you forget to buy tickets ahead of time or if you're printer is acting up(darn things, grrr) fear not, Lakefront now offers 20-minute "mini tours" Saturday evenings. Each tour is jam-packed with interesting factoids about sourcing, brewing and bottling beer, the bad-puns and bottomless jokes are also a plus.


What's a brewery tour without beer? Upon purchasing tickets you'll be given four tokens that act as your "beer money" during your visit. Four beers might not sound like a lot to your average Wisconsinite, but let me tell you, these babies are strong! Lakefront offers a wide variety of different types of beer, be sure to try two of my favorites, "River West Stein" and the "India Pale Ale". 

If your stomachs still growling after your liquid-lunch(or if you tend to get the munchies whilst drinking...) order a batch of pretzels from Lakefront's German-style beer hall. 


Long story short, if you like beer and you want to have a good time, get your butt over to Lakefront Brewery asap, you won't be disappointed!

The American Horror Story Guide to New Orleans

New Orleans' rich history made for the perfect setting for season three of AHS, Coven. From Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau to deranged mass murderer Delphine LaLaurie, these figures weren't just characters in a TV show, they were real people who lived out their days in The Big Easy and who left their mark on the city forever. Now, AHS did take a few artistic liberties, for example, Laveau and LaLaurie weren't sworn enemies, in fact, they weren't even alive during the same time period. But AHS also got some things right, in addition to crafting Gris-Gris bags for healing and good luck Marie Laveau really was a hairdresser and Delphine LaLaurie was indeed as dark and sinister as portrayed. If you find yourself in NOLA and want to do some Coven-inspired sight-seeing here are a few stops you won't want to miss.  Marie Laveau's Tomb  Nestled in the famed St. Louis Cemetary No. 1 , you'll need to join a tour group to experience this piece of living history as it&

My 100th Post

My 100th post, well this seems momentous.  A measly 100 blog entries may not seem like much to the seasoned writer but for me this feels like something worth celebrating. There are days I have the nagging feeling I should write more, but inspiration can be a tricky SOB. Luckily, there are also plenty of times when words begin to flow effortlessly from my fingertips creating some sort of wacky treat to be shared on this very domain.  https://static.tumblr.com/1df2ace841283819dd2d135a9375256f/kjwr8ge/HZYo0k4n4/tumblr_static_tumblr_static_80zqtbx2txs8wcs8woo0ksw8g_640.jpg My writing has undergone quite the metamorphosis. The literary version of Neville Longbottoming if you will. After completing two years of journalism school rereading my previous entries can legitimately be cringe inducing. Oh yes, there are grammatical eye-sores aplenty and I am totally guilty of pressing the "edit" button to atone for some of my past sins.  http://68.media.tumblr.com/0ccbdc
