I'm not one to normally go on a brewery rant, if only because I can generally always find something good in a brewery even when the beers are, well, not that great.
But what really lets me down is when popular breweries completely miss the mark from the hype, and during my visit to Boston, Trillium Brewing Company did just that.
This one had nothing to do with the beers, and was entirely due to the operation of the taproom- because I barely tried any of their products at all.
I'm becoming quite the beer snob in recent years, and have made it a habit to visit as many breweries as possible when visiting a new city. Naturally, I subsequently publish brewery guides after the visits (like my Cincinnati breweries and Cleveland breweries articles to name a few), and plan on continuing this trend wherever possible.
I've visited Frederick, Maryland, a few times over the years and have been able to try several of the city's unique breweries. One thing jumped out at me from many of the ones that I visited in that they had large draft lists with an impressive variety of styles (something I can't say for beer scenes in other cities).
So if you find yourself in the area and are looking for a great beer, you may want to consider one of the following!
During our Alaskan cruise, we had many opportunities to enjoy the famous Alaska glaciers that are found throughout the area.
These monster walls of ice are something you truly need to see to understand, as photos of them only tell part of the story. That being said, we did our best in trying to capture these beautiful natural wonders during our trip and wanted to share 10 of our favorite photos in this one!
Out of all of the tours we took in Alaska, one stood out as being leaps and bounds better than the rest- and it wasn't on our Alaska cruise or Denali!
Our favorite experience in Alaska was none other than the Kenai Fjord Tour that departed from Seward (a frequent embarking/disembarking port in Alaska about 2 1/2 hours south of Anchorage).
In this one, we wanted to share more about why that is.
