Brewery Tour

Yesterday we met the rents at Sierra Nevada for a late lunch and brewery tour. We did the tour first since they stopped doing them at 3:00 pm and we figured it would give the tap room time to empty out. I've done the basic and extended sustainability tour quite a few times already, but Sean and the 'rents hadn't. At the beginning of the tour they took us down a hallway where the brewery owner kept his collection of beer bottles. It puts our two shelves to shame.
There were multiple floor to ceiling glass displays of beer bottles down the hallway. When we win the lotto and build a custom home we'll make sure to include some adequate wall space for our collection.

The tour took us through some of the rooms where they cook the magical ingredients for beer.
After the tour we hit the tap room and ordered some beer and food.
The boys loved their beer and their sausage and hot wing platters. Before we left we stopped by the gift shop and loaded up on some of the specialty beers that you could only get there and Sean got himself a t-shirt. Once we got home I spent the afternoon scrapping while they spent it drinking and eating candy. I got three pages done this weekend; the Bidwell Classic, St. Patrick's Day and Easter.
(I have no idea why it keeps merging in sideways, but I give up!)
Sean left to go back home this morning. Chris had to drive him back to his work in Orland at 7:00 am this morning since that's where they stored Sean's truck and car over the weekend. Much to my surprise, since Chris was already up and dressed, he came by my church this morning and stayed through the first half an hour of singing. Not bad for a damn dirty atheist Canadian.

Unfortunately we're back to work tomorrow, but at least it's my first 4-day work week. Three day weekends here I come!
