Saturday, Ben and I went to the Top of the Hops Beer Festival downtown. It was a beautiful day to be outside and we enjoyed it while bumping into friends and tasting lots of new and different beers. Some of the more unique brews we tried were Fish Paralyzer BPA of RJ Rockers Brewing Company (BPA stands for Belgian-Style Pale Ale), Chipotle Ale from Rogue Ale which had a very smokey taste to it, and Jacques Au Lantern of Evolution Craft Brewing Co. which is a seasonal pumpkin ale that Ben described as being very nutmeggy! We also tried several ciders and cask ales.

After all that beer, we desperately needed some food, so we headed to the Whiskey Jar for some southern style cookin’! Ben and I both had the Courthouse Sandwhich “Hicory Smoked Pork with a spicy Pepper and Onion blend topped with Housemade Cheese Sauce on a Po Boy Roll and served with Fries”. It was delicious and we washed it down with a famous Moonshine Punch!
Afterward we spent some time sobering up while playing cornhole at Chris and Cara’s house. It was the perfect Saturday spent with good friends!
