That weekend we tried a new diner on Sunday morning, The City Diner. It was a hole but the food was good. Check out the size of Chad's pancake!!!!
Last weekend we hit up the 2012 HopFest in the Waldo neighborhood. We sprung for the VIP tickets which got us in the door an hour early. During this hour each brewery had a special beer that they didn't offer the remainder of the afternoon. Boulevard offered a Love Child #2 sour beer, which Jeff, Jen and Chad loved. The jury is still out on if I like the sours or not. I'm not quite there but the rest of the fest was yummy!
Chad and I also signed up for the UFO Beer Club at the Flying Saucer, a tap room and restaurant a few blocks from here in the Power and Light District. They have tons of craft beers on tap and even more by the bottle! It's a fun place to go with several events each week. Tuesday's are Old School Trivia Nights, which we have yet to try but sounds like a blast. Wednesday's are Take Home the Glass Nights, and Thursday's are Rare Beer Nights. Recently we went on a Thursday to try the Schlafly Dark Cherry Saison...very good but not enough cherry. Once you try 200 different beers, which they keep track of, you get to have a party there where they pick up $100 of the tab...and you get a plate on the wall with your name on it. Only 196 beers to go. Ha! I'm not sure we'll even achieve it but it's fun! It took our friends, Jeff and Jen, about two years to get their plates.
This weekend we don't have much planned other than heading to Columbia, MO on Sunday to visit with the family and obtaining our MO driver's licenses at some point! Hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend!
