Amy’s Day Off
This Fast Paced World
Life just never seems to slow down. I have these grandiose plans of things to do when I’m bored. Do I really expect that might happen in my lifetime?
One thing I do have to be thankful for is when meeting the wonderful editor/creator of this blog as he retaught me how to take time for myself and relax. So now that we have a 5 – month – old daughter together, we still make time to do just that. I’m sure you know what I’m about to claim is our favorite relaxation activity? Yup, you got it, go have a beer!
The past couple of outings we have visited some breweries they were definitely at times when both sat down with a beer and let out a big sigh. This is what breweries do for us. They become our 3rd home. That one we have those relaxation dreams and plan big.
Local Favorites
The past few weeks have consisted of some visits at some fav breweries around our area; many more favs on the list of course! We just had our first outside beer drinking over at Troegs Independent Craft Brewing in Hershey. There we split a flight and shared a smoked brisket sandwich with a side of hop fries. I remember being so excited to be able to sit on the patio outside. It’s about making sure to take that bit of relaxation, squeeze it in your day!
We swung by Cox Brewing Company when we were in the area running errands and trying desperately not to forget a stop. We shared the Gene Wenger’s meats and fine foods snack pack. We were sitting in the open-door garage with the breeze blowing after the morning rain in their new/old Rheems location. Admit it, you took a deep breath in as you read that last line. I did too. We took the time to share some brews, some laughs and some deep sighs before heading out of CBC. Then we tackled the rest of that To-Do list!
(Read Amy’s column last week about Cox Brewing Company – Cox Brewing Company: Back to Their Roots.)
Another awesome moment to sit outside was at Boneshire Brew Works in Rutherford, we enjoyed the picnic table layout in the parking lot. We munched on our fav of their amazing pizza creations, the bacon thyme pizza.
We each sipped on a beer and enjoyed the evening outside. (Ben got ‘The Heights’ IPA and I got the ‘Pletzfest’ festbier.) It was a beautiful evening, and was fun to see the ‘Death Rattler’ truck pull up.
We did Pizza Boy in Enola in the half outside room they have and it was great introducing my mom to Pizza Boy too. Yup, my mom loves the craft beer too. We actually just took her to Pizza Boy again tonight. We swung by there both times after a couple mile walk. (First trip we walked the Vincent DiFilippo Nature Preserve, and the second trip we walked Grandon Farm Trail starting from Creekview Park South.)
(You can read Ben’s book review about the art of stillness and relaxing here: Book Review: The Art of Stillness – Adventures in Going Nowhere (Pico Iyer).)
Ok that’s it, I need to go relax and so should you.
