I like to eat, drink, and be merry. So follow along as I explore!

Had to rep some Wisconsin gear because I’ll be coming back to the homeland!

Where exactly? My hometown first while I figure out the adventures of buying a house.

No matter where I am, Wisconsin is home. It’s my roots, it’s where my family is. I’d love to give my son that too.

So I’ve got a little more than 8 weeks left in Colorado and plan on taking full advantage of this beautiful place before it’s just a place I get to visit.

Wildy approves of his 2 months here so far.

The weather has been eerily warm here in Colorado and since I can’t control it, might as well embrace it. We have been patio hopping a lot lately.

Here are some places we have loved to enjoy the outdoors and a brew:

✨32 and feeling new✨

What a year it has been and what a year it will be. There’s so much to be excited for this year. Getting a mini me to explore the world, more adventures with my puppy, that sweet sweet pint of craft beer from my favorite breweries again, and evolving into my best self even more.

My happy place (and Augie’s too.)

I would have to say that my #1 destination and where I go the most is the Tony Grampsas Dog Park and

This dog park is filled with friendly faces (both furry and not) and is so beautiful any season. Well maintained and has a stunning view of North Table Mountain.

has it all. Great atmosphere and view, great beer selection (and NA selection,) and always a food truck or two. Not to mention fun events and live music on Thursdays.

Both are just steps away from each other.

🍽️ Bust It Big Quesadilla: Brisket burnt ends, Carolina BBQ sauce, caramelized onions, fried cheese curds, and red hot mama sauce. 10/10

🍺: Upside Dawn Golden Ale NA

Summer 2025 ☀️

Filled with adventure, nature, hikes, copious amounts of naps, NA beers, and embarking on a new journey 👶

Excited for the next chapter coming December (maybe November if I am lucky) 2025.

Pups, Patios, and Pours (of beer) a few of my favorite things.

This is my perfect set up right here. Patios, sunshine, good beer, cribbage, and some chips and salsa.

Got to finally check out that is in my neck of the woods and try their amazing brews. Favorite was definitely the Gold World Beer Cup Winner, ESB. An English-style ale with biscuit and dark fruit coming in at 5.4% ABV.

Also, got to try another phenomenal food truck . This time I just got some chips and salsa. But these tortilla chips were top notch! Will for sure be trying a burrito next time I see it around.
