This is a shot of me in front of the barrels.
The other one is a picture of me and the fiance in front of Gomer's in Kansas City.
That place was amazing, especially for us coming from Iowa with all of our silly taxes on high abv beers. They had more beer than I have seen in a long time. And most of it was absolutely delicious. They even had a few I had never seen before.
The first shot here is my with the barrels, which was probably the coolest room in the brewery for us. Notice the overwhelming look of joy in his face.
This one is him giving the brewery a farewell hug.
It was great, we got to walk through the old brewery and the new brewery, then at the end we had free, fresh samples. Granted, we had already had everything they had on tap and the only one we really wanted wasn't available, but it was still fun. Then we went to a pizza place for dinner and they had the beer we wanted, it is Boulevard's Tank 7. It's a farmhouse ale, which made me ponder why we hadn't made a farmhouse ale, given our farm-upbringing. But it's a lighter beer, almost a cross between a Belgian wit and an American wheat with a little bit less flavor. It was good, but I don't think I'll be stockpiling cases of it for the zombocalypse.
All in all it was a good trip. Good beer, good food, good people. I'm glad we live so close to KC, because it is a pretty rockin' place for barbecue and beer. Next stop on the brewery tour?
Fort Collins for my honeymoon baby. That's right, I have the best fiance ever!
