Fayetteville Ale Trail

3 years ago, almost to the day, we did our very first ale trail with one of our favorite couples. This was way before the ale trail was even a thing.
I called it NWA Brew Hop, and wrote a blog post about it. (Of course.) What followed was our “Summer of Saddlebock”, and a growing love of local craft beer.
Since then, Fayetteville started the official Fayetteville Ale Trail complete with a passport to get stamped at each brewery.
Yesterday a group of us attempted the Ale Trail again. While we didn’t make it to all of the breweries (not sure we ever will), we sure did have a lot of fun and sure did drink a lot of beer.

Thanks to Pinnacle Limo for the ride – $30/person for 4 hours. And shoutout to our awesome driver, Don!
Who’s ready to do the North Route next weekend??

My Weekend Was:

the opposite of last weekend
spending time with friends
a successful October girls happy hour
random, in a great way
finding a new nighttime hangout
celebrating our favorite brewery’s first birthday
touring Texans around Bentonville
eating lots and lots of tacos
beautiful
jumbling towers + blockus + more beer
excitement for a friend and her world tour
doing something for someone simply because it will make their day
relaxing on the couch with my old friends in the O.C.
