25.08C

    While it wasnโ€™t focus of our SoCal weekend trip, we did manage to sneak in visits to three new-to-us breweries: everywhere, Bottle Logic, and Monkishโ€”all excellent suggestions from our friend Greg Wellins (better known as @GregVisitsBreweries)โ€”and loved everything we tried. Monkish in particular has been on my list for ages, all due to Greg.

    We met Greg at Lochiel Brewing maybe 8yrs ago, back when I was working on a questing app that included some brewing quests and long before he hit brewery #1000. If you like craft beer and use IG, heโ€™s a great follow. It’s also fun to show up to a new brewery, tell them that Greg sent you, and immediately get served some special pours, gratis. Thanks for all the great suggestions, Greg! Hope to share a pint with you again soon.

    A game at Dodger Stadium

    Jen had a great time attending a Dodgers game with Doc and his family at Dodger Stadium, marking a significant outing for her MLB Ballparks quest.

    Visited the Nixon Presidential Library (and birthplace home, and gravesite) today for my A Site for Each President quest. While I technically finished that quest today, I have an asterisk for Madisonโ€™s Montpelier that I need to revisit so Iโ€™m sorta keeping it open for now. #Blaugust2025
