If/when I drink, I'm going to enjoy what I consume. None of this drinking cheap, awful beer for the buzz for me.
It wasn't until I moved to Hays that I learned how to drink. Especially beer. All of that positive German influence. ;) I actually have to thank my photo buddies Jamie and Fred for introducing me to Blue Moon. It was a great starter beer.
During my time there, a brewery in town opened up. It is probably one of Erik's favorite places to go. In fact, I was never sure if he came to Hays while we were dating to see me or to fill up his growlers to go home. ;)
Often when I'm through Hays, I'll fill a growler for him, but often miss the seasonal beers by a week or so.
In September, we decided we were going to go. And so we hit the road!

So excited!

These little guys are awesome! They're 1/2 the size of the "regular" growlers, but with their lid, hold the carbonation better. It's too bad we can't trade in a few of our growlers for some of these smaller guys.

Enough said, really.
I also want to add that I Tweeted that we'd be there, which resulted in a spontaneous meeting with a former co-worker of mine. It was not really planned too far in advance, and a great treat! :)
