beer

I’m bringing back my weekly post series – and I couldn’t be happier. Last year I didn’t do a weekly roundup post, and turns out, I missed it terribly. So 2018 is the year…

Is everyone out there having a great (Labor Day, USA) weekend?! It’s the unofficial official ending of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and I think I’m actually ok with that. But, you know, summer…

Last weekend, Lina and I took a very important + long-awaited trip to Ireland. We’ve been quite a few times before, and just love the vibes in Ireland. But, the best part about Ireland, for…

About a month ago, Lina and I got a chance go to the Uppsala Beer + Whiskey Festival. Something we’ve been wanting to do since we moved to Uppsala two years ago, but we…

Ok. Yes. Lina + I love beer. And before moving (back) to Sweden two years ago, we lived in the super craft beer city of Asheville, North Carolina. It is literally beer heaven there,…

It’s time. I just wrapped up my last regular week of work. I say regular because I am still working, still on the clock, this upcoming week. Howeeeeever, I get to work from home.…

overwhelmed by the la vie bohème feeling, we headed down the hill to find moulin rouge. you know, the famous red windmill that stands as a symbol for love, passion, art, and a carefree,…

here we go, guys. our first full day in paris. we walked a lot. saw a lot. and, yet, played it cool and easy and slow. it was the perfect balance of tourist shit +…

happy hump day, friends! time for my third, and next-to-final, countdown as i look back over my 2015. over the past two weeks i counted down my top instagram photos and my year in music. and today,…

hello, friends! happy monday! did you get to see the moon last night?! did you feel the magic and gaze at it in awe? i’m always taken aback when i see the night sky…

happy monday, friends! i hope your last week of may was a good one. if i am honest with you, mine was very mixed. there were a few things that were super tough and…

time for a little update on the progress of our very first home brewing experience! (read about the beginning of it –> here). but first, let me remind you that we have no idea…

i miss doing a weekly photo update. sharing the random little snippets of my life that i capture on my phone. so, i think i’m going to begin that again. then, the rest of…

just because i live in sweden, doesn’t mean that i don’t keep up with things happening in asheville. especially when it comes to beer. and, this weekend asheville beer week begins (yes, i wish i…

you know that you are becoming a beer nerd when you book a home brewing lesson as your friday night’s activity with your wife. my love found a company online called dead poets home…

WHY DID WE CREATE AN ASHEVILLE BEER GUIDE? BECAUSE WE LOVE ASHEVILLE AND WE LOVE BEER. AND WE THINK YOU WILL TOO! Did you know that Asheville was voted Beer City, USA for four years in…

hello, friends! it’s saturday and extremely gray + snowy outside my window. a perfect day for laundry, blogging, and hanging out at home. perhaps a bit of coffee soon, too. i’m thinking that a…

last january i met a blogging friend that i’d been keeping in touch with for a few years only through our blogs. she  was 20-something and lived in missouri. i was pushing 40 and…

hi friends! i just realized that i haven’t done a regular little everyday life kind of post in a while. so, i thought it was time to share what’s been going on in my…

december has arrived, and so far it has brought me a big mixture of serene, cozy, quiet moments + crazy, stressful, frustrating moments. i hope that it won’t be such a big roller coaster…

it’s no secret that i love beer. my love + i both love it. and we live in a place that is known for its beer… and it’s breweries. asheville is a hub for…

one day last week, my love and i were driving home, discussing whether we should or should not head over to a local brewery for some beer. just because. well, the weather was pretty…

so, autumn is in full swing here in asheville, north carolina and it just could not be more cozy and beautiful. october is absolutely a stunning month up here in the mountains. but, i’m…

i think it’s been a few years since i’ve been as excited about summer as i am this summer. the past 2 summers have been crazy, strange, different, and somewhat difficult – well, not…

ok. i confess. this past week was a lot of fun because all i did, it seems, is eat and drink with people i love. and that makes for a happy girl. there is…

i found a super fun blog post on Facebook the other day that i knew i needed to reblog. but, being the blog snob that i am, i could not simply reblog it as…

there are a few main factors contributing to why i have a ton of photos this week. and, i have a ton! to begin with, last week was g-o-r-g-eous (most of the week, anyway).…

happy monday, dear ones. hope your weekend was great. mine has been pretty calm and relaxing. just perfect, you know? i’ve decided to start doing all of my sensory overload posts on mondays, so…

it’s tuesday, and time to stop for a moment and think about all that has touched and piqued my senses in the last week… it was kind of a blended week, i think. busy…

i did a few posts in the past where i reflected on my week/weekend through my six senses… what did i see, touch, feel, hear, taste, smell over the past few days? i really think…

so, i know i’ve said this before some time, but the weather is sweden is extreme. when it’s good, it’s amazing. and when it’s bad, it’s awful and depressing. and the weather tends to…

there’s a new place in town. and it serves good food and good drinks. but, that’s not what makes it special. the things that is different about this place is it’s concept. it’s all…
