Huge thanks to John Garvey of Garvey Communication Associates Inc. for having me on The Innovators! Had such a blast chatting and of course the beer tasting might’ve just stolen the show (pumpkin brews are just the best 🎃🍺). Always love a good mix of brains and brews!

We don’t give a schnitzel… we’re just here for the steins! 🍻Talk about a pitcher perfect day at Ok2berfest!

While Jeff may not have taken home the bratwurst-eating crown (top 4 ain’t bad though!), the brews and games were such a blast.

Some favorites on tap:
🍺 Ok2berfest Märzen Lager: lots of toffee, caramel and brown bread notes with a floral finish (5.8% ABV)
🍺 No Limits Hefeweizen: a true delight that brings wheaty and bready vibes followed up by cloves.

Which team are you: Märzen 🍂 or Hefeweizen 🍌? Cheers!

Xaden Riorson may be dark and broody, but this pumpkin beer is all light and pure fall perfection. 🍂🍺

Had the best time repping Basgiath with at ’s Grown up Book Fair, bonus points that it lined up with a seasonal brew on tap! 🎃

The Grim Harvest Pumpkin Ale (5.8% ABV) is crisp, light-bodied, and packed with those cozy fall beer notes I love. And yes, it can come with the cinnamon-sugar rim!

Bookish question for my fellow readers: if Violet and Xaden walked into Dudley Town Brewing what would they order? My money’s on Violet sipping an Altar of the Damned (girlie loves a citrus moment 🍊), while Xaden is definitely reaching for Death of a Saint!

Cheers friends! 🍻

Sipping the last rays of summer like your friendly neighborhood vampire 🦇

Today’s the last day for extra special Disney summer drinks, and I cannot wait to see their Fall line up!

Jeff wouldn’t stop shouting GET OUTTA MY SWAMP after ordering the Shrek Love Potion (Monson Apple vodka, blue curaçao & lime lemonade) 💚

I kept it sweet with Pooh’s Honey Pot 🍯 (Cortland apple spice wine, honey & apple juice in a the cutest honey bear!)

For flights: you can pick 3 wines + 2 spirits do NOT miss the cider donut bourbon whiskey 🍩 It is truly a treat and early taste of fall.

Can’t wait to come back for pumpkin wine and pick your own apples! Tag your fall-drink buddy and save this for your spooky season bucket list 🍎✨

Cheers to beers that wake the dead 💀
beer Project (📍 Hartford, CT) is a cool brewery + eclectically fun taproom dedicated to brews steeped in tradition.

On the menu you’ll find clean, crisp lagers, refreshing weissbiers, and some funky surprises on the board (the smoked corn lager🌽🔥 is a must try).

Big thanks to for pulling together such a killer crew of beer lovers to meet and for owners Chris and Kyle for having us! Always fun to share pours with people who geek out over brews and the stories behind every pint.

What’s speaking your beer language these days? 💬🍺 Cheers!
