Brewery Day: New PR



Brewery Day

New Personal Record

Six Breweries in One Day

Saturday, Novernber 2, 2024




My standing personal best record has been broken after 9 years standing. In 2015, I  went through Philly breweries with Jen Hogan and we visited @nd Story Brew, Yards Brewery, Philadelphia Brewery. St Bonafce Brewery and Evil Genius Brewery.  


I didn't have any intervention of ear breaking that record but Jim pushed and poked at me until I agreed to trying to break my record.  had no interest in meeting this challenge. As I get older, I just cant drink the volume that I used to be able to consume. Now, two pints are my n=maxium that I can handle. 

We went out on Saturday, November 2 at 2PM and got back by 9:30 PM and I was finished for the day.

We started with Jim, Barb, Kevin, Paulo and me and during the course of the day we picked up Andy, Andrea, Kristin, Shane and Christina. We visited Stolen Sun Brewery, Levante Brewery, Wrong Crowd Brewery, Artillery Brewery, and Greystone Brewery. And that is it.  I am not breaking this record. This is the best I can do and I'm OK with that.

RIP 2024

  On this All Souls' Day, I remember all of my students who left us too early, too young. It was my privilege to be a small part of their lives.
