Today has no real connection to beer or a brewery, but I have referenced the wedding I went to on my latest trip east (the actual purpose of the trip). The wedding was at Valhalla Winery located up on a hill overlooking Roanoke VA. Breathtaking really. All I could think about while there was, "wouldn't this be a great place to own a brewery!." The wedding was great, the couple lovely, the wine superb,...

I've always thought of the ocean as a gigantic fish tank. Then, this morning, as I was flying back from Ohio, our flight passed over Roanoke, VA (before heading east to RDU and home), I wondered to myself: "If I were to wave from 25,000 feet, would Mark Hoback receive some kinda subliminal signal and impulsively wave back?" So, I waved. I giggled. It all seemed so silly, but as we banked towards central...

On our aforementioned trip to Roanoke VA, I knew that the brewery/brewpub/beer bar scene was going to thin out through West Virginia and into southwest VA(and that's why I packed plenty of bottles of our beer). So we hammered on. However, in neighboring Salem, I found a store called Cork and Keg . What drew my attention was: THE GREEN EGG These were awesome! A smoker, a grill or an oven. but at 400...

As previously mentioned I "got" to travel to the east coast (just about-Roanoke VA) with my wife, kids and mother-in-law. The destination was a family wedding, but the journey was much more fun. Since I "had" to chase my kids around the Indianpolis Children's museum (which was fun), I "got" to stop at Brugge Brasserie for lunch. This would be Nick, jumping for joy that we are about to engage in moules...
