How I spent my holiday! Fun Calories, Too Much Drip, and Billions or Bodybags poured by @pillowandoatsbrewing in Beacon. A fave lil’ spot here. Also… I knit pumpkins. A lot. They make me happy, and knitting soothes me. I made these over 2h45m while enjoying good brews on a stormy day. I plan, with permission, to leave them here as a token of appreciation of sorts. There’s a pumpkin patch of sorts in my hometown, this continues the tradition. #beer #microbrews #instabeer #ale #stout #ipa #porter #saison #localbrewery #breweries #knit #knitting #knittersofinstagram #craft #crafty #etsy #handmade #handmadewithlove #menwhoknit #gpoy #portrait #pictures #selfie #amigurumi (Crosspost via IFTTT .)

Belated #medalmonday ! This is an important once. I posted about the race before, I even uploaded a video to my YouTube. I am grateful to have completed my first ultra this past weekend in New Jersey. While I’m not sure the 50 K distance is for me, I’ve been thinking about registering for an event like this next year – maybe a spot of camping while seeing how many miles I can log over 24 hours (uncompetitively of course)! On a serious note, I have two crowlers left from @peekskillbrewery. I am cracking this one because it has been a roller coaster to get this race together: training for a marathon, postponement of marathon, injury, lack of training for weeks, dedicated sobriety until a spontaneous 50K to carpe diem… And I finished it. Thank you for the support. I may not be the best of humans, I am a work in progress, and progress is not linear. ❤️ #beer #microbrews #instabeer #ale #stout #ipa #porter #saison #localbrewery #breweries #peekskill #runpb #ultra #ultrarunning (Crosspost v...

Fabulous crawl through downtown Peekskill with the Run PB crew!

I have four crowlers from the closure of Peekskill Brewery. I’m saving them for special occasions, with this Simple Sour cracked open to celebrate getting behind the mic Wednesday. Other than the odd karaoke appearance, the last public strumming may have been back in 2015 (if YouTube archives can be believed). It felt good, it was nerve wracking, and I’m grateful for the support at @slaintepeekskill from the @breweryrunning crew et al. Thank you… thank you… #beer #microbrews #instabeer #ale #stout #ipa #porter #saison #localbrewery #breweries #guitar #livemusic #peekskillbrewery #dosomethingthatscaresyou (Crosspost via IFTTT .)

Watched the #marathontrials at @whiskeyriver_peekskill with the @breweryrunning crew… Those cauliflower bites were one of the best ever! #beer #microbrews #instabeer #ale #stout #ipa #porter #saison #localbrewery #breweries #whiskey #wiskey #peekskill #hudsonvalley #usatf #partytime #brunch (Crosspost via IFTTT .)

This. Places like this are why I am on this brewery journey. @stonypointbrewing has a vast array of options, and I had the pleasure of trying nearly all of them. I knew this place would be passing the vibe check once I saw MTV’s Daria on screen, Bavarian flags and accessories on display , and a nod to @einstok Ölgerð on tap. It doesn’t stop there. The Aye Be You West Coast IPA had a pine and oak woodiness that comforts me, and the Hi-Tor Rue Porter was a full-bodied cream like tongue-coating coffee forward porter that must be sampled. I had the last of the Experimental #8, and the Tomkins Kölsch is a great standard. Hungry? They got sausages and wurst on standby, served with a German potato salad. As a half-Bavarian, I approve highly! There are even options for vegetarians and those passionately pursuing a dry January! #beer #microbrews #instabeer #ale #stout #ipa #porter #saison #localbrewery #breweries #smoky #bavarian #austrian #supportlocal #localbeer #haverstraw #tomkinscove #roc...

No marathon this month means #nybrewery visits! First stop is @roundtable.brewery in West Haverstraw. I visited before when in another incarnation, this go around shows a fresh lean into brews with wild yeast. I was amazed by the playfully sour and mysteriously smoky (yet clean) Alto Lindo American Wild Ale! My follow up was a chocolate-espresso note Dark Table – careful, this 9% ABV stout drinks wonderfully easy! House-made kombuchas are on offer, and I was enticed by the cinnamon offering. #beer #microbrews #instabeer #ale #stout #ipa #porter #saison #localbrewery #breweries #westhaverstraw #ny #newyork #nystate #thinknydrinkny #beertourism #farmhouseale (Crosspost via IFTTT .)
