Beer-venture

This past Friday I turned 25. Crazy. When I was 19, I thought I would be a foreign correspondent somewhere having already traveled the world and be celebrating my birthday most likely on the back of a camel or high above the ground in some rain forest canopy. I never thought I'd be in Midland, Michigan, but that's where I ended up and looking back, I really don't have any regrets and am excited about the next 25 years.

On Saturday, co-worker Ryan and I took a drive up to the U.P. (Upper Peninsula) to see the bridge that so many people told me I had to see before I left Michigan. Maybe it was a form of closure? Short's Brewery in Bellaire, Michigan, was the obvious highlight and real destination of the trip.

I gave up on Humalupalicious mid-way through a six pack about a year ago it was soooo hoppy. Bellaire Brown, Uncle Steve's Irish Stout, Soft Parade, and the Magician are all keepers though.
