October is a month for beer (Oktoberfest, duh), so naturally after booking our flights to Seattle I feverishly searched through event calendars, scouring the internet for beer tastings during the dates we were in town. What did I find? Seattle Magazine’s second annual BREW Seattle — the ultimate local beer tasting event. It’s the largest … Continue reading
I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize for the lack of posts these past few weeks. I feel like I say this every month, but June has been the busiest month yet — and July shows no signs of being any different. One of the exciting things? I’m going to Las Vegas! While that’s … Continue reading
I don’t know if I’m just more aware now because I actually enjoy drinking beer, but Honolulu really seems to be stepping up its beer scene. Jake and I started our weekend with a few pints at BREW’d Craft Pub in Kaimuki, from the same owners who brought REAL a Gastropub to Ward. (They actually just … Continue reading

Did you know I had never been to a baseball game until Saturday night? I’m a graduate of the University of Hawaii, but during my time there I didn’t go to a lot of sporting events. I did the football tailgating thing a couple of times — but one thing I always wanted to do, … Continue reading
Man, it’s great to have a weekend again. I haven’t had weekends off for over a year — and thanks to my new job, I’m back in business. Jake’s new job also allows him weekends off, so in celebration of our first weekend off together, we ate all day Saturday, and finished it off with … Continue reading
So I ended up leaving work a little bit early today so we could join the hundreds of other cars on the road who were also headed to our state university’s season-opening football game against USC. On paper it looks like it would be a great match — our Warriors vs. their Trojans? Sounds like … Continue reading
Look! There are islands at the bottom! …you’ve had one too many, the Hawaiian Islands are not at the bottom of these glasses. My friend Emily was in fact not drunk and delusional when she said this during our Sunday night out on the town at the Kona Brewing Company in Hawaii Kai. The outline … Continue reading
