I am horrendously late with this post. In my weak defense, E discovered Independent Brewing Company's inaugural six-week celebration of the European holiday beer tradition a couple weeks ago, and then took me along last weekend. Independent Brewing Company, is located on the corner of Shady and Forbes in Squirrel Hill, is dedicated to serving … Continue reading tannenbaum at independent brewing
When planning our vacation, we wanted to see a handful of cities without feeling overwhelmed by the amount of places to see and things to do. We decided to spend a good chunk of time in Amsterdam, followed by about 24 hours Antwerp, 36 hours in Brussels, and wrapping up with almost five days in … Continue reading a quick stop in antwerp
E ran the Marine Corps Marathon in mid-October. Although I haven't worked up the stamina (or interest, if I'm being honest) to run a full marathon, I tagged along for the weekend in Washington DC. We left Pittsburgh after work on Friday and the race was on Sunday, leaving us Saturday to explore. Instead of … Continue reading brunch & snapshots | dc

We spent just over four days in Amsterdam in early October. Neither E nor I had ever been and we were excited to explore a new city.

Down one of the side streets of Amsterdam is a tiny shop that makes one, and only one, type of cookie - the tastiest in the world.
I've never been to Amsterdam, so I was excited to explore a new city. As newbies, we filled our first day with somewhat touristy stops.
Last week, my brother came to visit Pittsburgh for the first time. The pressure was on to show him a good time, so we grabbed tickets to a Pens game, made reservations at a great restaurant, and mapped out which breweries we wanted to hit while he was in town. We decided to take him … Continue reading hitchhiker brewing co.
Earlier this month, a work trip took me to Denver, Colorado. I had never been to the Mile-High City and, although most of my time was to be spent inside at a conference, I was excited to explore a little in my down time. This post is a likely a little hodge-podgey and definitely photo … Continue reading snapshots | denver
