my friend Elyse and I drove into the country to check out a couple of boutique breweries. We live just on the suburban side of the country so it only took maybe fifteen minutes to get to our first stop. the second stop was five minutes from the other.
Beautiful drive. Beautiful weather. Beautiful conversation.
First stop was Goat House Brewing in Lincoln. They rotate food trucks every day and on this day it was the Cousins Main Lobster food truck. You might recognize the name from their pitch on Shark Tank. They made a deal with Barbara Corcoran.
The sun was out. The ground was wet. The goats were friendly. The beer and food, yummy.
Next stop was Dueling Dogs Brewing. They also had a food truck, but we did not eat there. Instead of beer, we did a sampler of the mead and ciders. The ambience of both places was one of community. Children and parents playing games and talking together. Although clearly there was alcohol, partying was not the focus. Dueling Dogs also has a table with garden items for sale…
