Coming in at #11 on our is the memory of celebrating 5 years with pintxos & beers @atarigastroteka in #sansebastian #spain . Those who’ve Pintxos bar hopped in San Sebastián get why no explanation is needed! We’re celebrating #25beersofchristmas with our most memorable beers around the world, flashback style. #aloradventbeers
(12) That time in Ghent, Belgium where we had our first #trappistbeer by #westmalle It was 2016 and while winding our way to the Netherlands, we stopping for a mid-afternoon beer. In the warmth of the sun watching students hop on and off the tram, we threw back one and ordered a second... before realizing that chalice housed a #westmalletripel with a whopping 9.5 ABV! Completely deliciously deceptive, this clear golden-yellow triple has fruity aromas but still managers to stay a bit hoppy with a dry finish. I remember turning to Paolo and saying “banana and vanilla!” It’s a creamy full mouth beer that’s mild enough to slip right down but hoppy enough to remind you midway through the second, that’s beer you’re drinking not lemonade. Our happy hoppy buzz puts this beer flashback on our #aloradventbeers in a #25beersofchristmas celebration. 12 more days till Christmas!
(13) Don’t be fooled. That’s beer in them there glasses. #properglassware maybe not, but proper @birraichnusa in #sardinia it most certainly is! Two things we learned while drinking A LOT of Ichnusa on our trip. 1️⃣ The Ichnusa label is the flag of Sardinia, called the Four Moors. Paolo being Italian and a history buff told me all about the mystery behind The Moors, but I’ll spare you that convoluted tale! 2️⃣ While made in Sardinia, Ichnusa is owned by Heineken international. So while local + craft is what we prefer, just about any beer will do when you’re overlooking epic waters in Sardinia (Swipe to see what I mean!) and this beer, did just fine. Making it onto our list of #ALORadventBeers our most memorable #25beersofchristmas flashback style!
(14) Little did we know during our first trip to Portland, that the very brewery where we tried our first IPAs would soon become a dream client. . BridgePort Brewing’s Original IPA was a first for many #craftbeerlovers including ourselves. (Swipe to see the second photo of Paolo sizing up his first IPA!) . From Paolo’s #beertography capturing not just their beer but their partners and fans to launching their monthly #HopHero social media program. From event Instagram takeovers with @pdxbeergirl for #PCBF2018 & @sheknowsbeer for #Hoptoberfest to a wedding beer collaboration with pro-skater @sebowalker we’ve loved every minute of our partnership with BridgePort. How could we not, BridgePort is Portland’s Original Craft Brewery with both loyal (since 1984) and new (since 2018 RoséIPA) fans. . Our #ALORadventBeers is a #25beersofchristmas flashback that simply wouldn’t be complete without a giant thank you to @bridgeportbrew
On the 15th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, the memory of picnic and a @birramoretti #ALORadventBeers #birramoretti #25beersofchristmas Flashback! . My very first #birramoretti was with Paolo in Italy. We’d stashed ourselves away in Bardonecchia in the Italian Alps with a bag full of goodies from @eatalygram . Now every time I have a Birra Moretti I have a pang of longing to be in Italy. Tomorrow, I’m sharing one of our most life changing moments involving beer and it’s a whopper of a “little did they know” moment. Well at least to us it is!
(16) Finding @beardediris was the highlight of our 2018 trip to Nashville. After tucking into two bar stools downstairs @husknashville a spot I’d been dying to eat (hello Chef @hseanbrock !!!!!!!) Paolo ordered an IPA. One sip in we were googling Bearded Iris Brewing. To our delight their taproom was a quick :15 drive away. After housing THE MOST AMAZING meal at Husk, we high tailed it over to Bearded Iris Brewery because that’s how we roll! We spent the rest of the afternoon exploring their IPAs and DIPAs and thanking our lucky stars we found them. #ipalovers when in Nashville, GO. Better yet... go to Nashville just to have lunch at Husk and then head over to try Bearded Iris Brewing’s full line up. #aloradventbeers #25beersofchristmas #onebeeratatime #nashville
(17) That time driving around Costa Rica when I shouted “Bello look a brewery!” Spotting a small wooden sign on the side of a winding road, we decided... to follow the sign! Up a winding dirt road, over a high hill we found @lakearenalhotelandbrewery IPAs and this killer view. Wish we could go back right now for any/all. #aloradventbeers #puravidalife #25beersofchristmas
#18 on our global flashback style #25beersofchristmas is @saucedbbq in Petaluma, California. Between wildfires, mudslides and nasty political slights flung this year, we‘re sending this one out to all of our friends just south of here. We raise our glasses to the power of friendship, community and voting.
(19) Speaking of #cbus That time we discovered Hoof Hearted (say that three times fast) in Columbus, Ohio. Hoof Hearted’s name may be old school humor but their beers are serious business. Take for example their current tap list. “I'll Have What She's Having” is a DIPA with South African Hops at 8.5%. Yes please! . Doesn’t hurt that my memory of being here, includes a small celebrating for Paolo’s swearing in ceremony to become an American citizenship. #aloradventbeers #25beersofchristmas #cbuslife
#ALORadventBeers #20! That day in #CBUS we celebrated my first steps towards Italian Citizenship @wolfsridgebrewing with two “lunch” beers at 11am!
(21) Three guesses where this Beer Flashback is from?! Hint: The beer! Or the location tag ;) . Back in 2014 Paolo and I were in Cartagena, Colombia celebrating our first year of marriage. The owner of the restaurant joined us to talk about his beloved Cartagena. We loved hearing his stories but were absolutely melting! Realizing the heat was getting to us, the Owner bought us a round of drinks. In the Colombian heat and humidity that @clubcolombia was everything. A memory I’ll never forget #aloradventbeers
(22) While “In Bruges” we took our first ever #beerselfie together. Now, it’s sort of our thing, hiding behind the pint glass labels. At least with the family we text these too! Silly it may be but these brings back great memories every time I see one. We can’t help but be our goofy selves trying a beer for the first time at the source! . A little history I learned at the brewery which sits smack in the middle of Bruges. . The Legend Of The Brugse Zot (aka the fools of Bruges) . After Mary of Burgundy (Maximilian of Austria’s wife) died in 1482, Maximilian inherited reign over medieval Netherlands. Some of the Netherlander provinces were hostile to Maximilian including Bruges. . When Maximilian visited Bruges in 1488, the people revolted against his harsh reign and high taxes, imprisoning him for over four months. . Out of vengeance, Maximilian prohibited organize festivities and fairs. How do you calm a monarch down? Organize a celebration to honor him apparently. Legend goes, after the storms of hostility passed, the people of Belgium asked Maximilian for permission to build a new mental hospital. His response, “close the gates of Bruges, the town is already filled with fools.” . Thus the nickname ‘the fools of Bruges’ for the townspeople and the name of ‘Brugse Zot.’ . Jokes aside, Zot Beers at De Halve Maan in Bruges, Belgium is a treat to visit. While it’s easy to miss down an alleyway, once inside, a large open courtyard acts as a beerhall. A lavish wooded interior tap room serves up pints on draft. A few euro buys a 45 minute tour and a taste of their infamous Brugse Zot Blond. . Tomorrow, a beer memory from our one year wedding anniversary trip, 5,169 miles from Bruges! Celebrating 22 Days to Christmas with #aloradventbeers . #brugsezot #travelbelgium #visitbruges
