The Roaming Pint

Today marks the first day of a long week packed full of craft beer events, quite possibly the best week of the year for craft beer, next to Craft Brewers Conference and Great American Beer Festival weeks, American Craft Beer week. There are events going on all over the US with Craftbeer.com doing an excellent [...]

Special thanks to Chris Stenger for writing a guest post this week about the first ever Kansas Craft Brewers Expo. We were very disappointed to have missed the event this year, but were extremely happy to hear of the event’s successes and will be excited for our much anticipated return to Kansas, reuniting with our [...]

Originally founded in January of 2012 this nomadic Krewe of gypsies has quite the unique history that predates each and everyone of them. Millions and millions of years ago our souls were united in an never-ending quest to travel the universe, discover alternative ways to live and partake in the liveliest of rituals which have [...]

Last week we arrived 4 days into the San Diego Craft beer week, which ran from November 4th—November 13th. There were literally hundreds of events, from local brew pint specials to food pairing events, limited edition releases and total tap takeovers. Most people in SD didn’t really blink at all the events commenting that every [...]

Our first Great American Beer Fest is in the books and while we were only able to attend the Thursday session I think we got a good feel for it. We were also able to to participate in many of the activities that surround the event and even help out a good cause. So with [...]

As many of you might know (should know) the primary reason for us starting this website was to map out great beer destinations across the U.S. gathering information from our travels, locals and beer friends. Brewing News is a great newspaper resource that publishes regional quarterlies on craft beer. We used this early on in [...]

The 30th annual Great American Beer Festival is quickly approaching, September 29th—October 1st at the Colorado Convention Center in Downtown Denver. If you haven’t got a ticket yet, I am sorry to say you might be S.O.L. as this years event sold out the first week tickets went on sale, and for good reason, this [...]

Last week we had the pleasure of visiting with Hanna Laney, Marketing Coordinator (and self proclaimed “word nerd”) from Great Divide Brewing. She has been with the brewery for just over a year and is already making a big impact with their social media. We talked with her a little bit about her efforts with [...]

Maria and I are members of the Lawrence Home Brewers Guild and have always enjoyed our time hanging out with home brewers so I like to look up home brewers groups when we head into a new area. I was fortunate to find the Liquid Poets when we rolled into Fort Collins for a couple [...]

Maria and I were able to attend our first Great Nebraska Beerfest and we were definitely glad we could make it. Not only did it allow us to hang out with our friends from Nebraska Brewing Company, who organized the event, but we were also able to try some really good beers from breweries we [...]

On the day of our one year “nomadiversary” we were able to hit our 99th and 100th brewery (Ale Asylum and Vintage Brewing Co respectively). 100 is a big deal for us considering we didn’t know one year ago that we would be doing a tour of US breweries and we had to put in [...]

As I type this we are heading south to Omaha from Minnesota for a week with friends and beer! We had plans to go to South Dakota this week to get over to Colorado and avoid driving through Nebraska to get there. For those of you that haven’t made the drive, it is infamous for [...]
