We headed west the other day to visit a couple of breweries I’d been wanting to try. On the road, we saw this…
.
.
Crowd sourcing your honeymoon. That’s a new one.
.
.
Western Maine can be lovely.
Mountains, rolling hills and valleys with lots of family farms. And now, numerous solar panels.
Unfortunately the brewery I really wanted to visit was closed due to the unexpected death of their owner… so we headed for my second choice.
.
.
Tumbledown Brewing,… small batch and named for a mountain.
Unfortunately their tasting room was small as well and housed at the end of a strip mall. Not what I was expecting.
.
.
Eight beers were on tap and we tried 4.
.
.
Sitting at one of the two tables which was an upended barrel.
.
.
No.
We did not wear goggles.
.
.
As luck would have it the guy behind the counter was military so you know we (and by we I mean the husband) had to stay and talk.
One flight and a four pack to go lightened our wallet by almost $40 which proves small batch does not equal small pricing.
Review – Beer wasn’t bad. Tasting room was. Not in a hurry to return.
.
River's world..... 
I’ll send my extra $$$ to gray mutts sanctuary for old unclaimed dogs. There is too much misery in the world to worry about funding weddings and honeymoons.

Come on! Half a bloody story here. Which four beers did you taste, and which was best?

Sorry…
In order from left to right- the stout, the red, the Kolsch and the cream.
The red was really nice, their most popular beer… but husband liked the Kolsch so that’s what we brought home. The cream was dishwater. Blech!

We have a ruby ale by hobgoblin that sounds much like your red. The kolsch sounds like an ipa. Both sound great 👍

At least the wood paneling is lovely.

Crowdfunding that way is extremely tacky.

I was going to say something similar. People these days will put out a hand for anything. Such a sense of entitlement, and where’s their self-reliance? Pay for your own damn honeymoon. (Wow, these things really get me going.)

Crowdsourcing is a great idea and has helped a lot of legitimately needy people.
These aren’t two of them…

Agreed. It’s the young people who ask for strangers to pay for their honeymoons, the backpackers who want handouts to continue traveling around the world, etc. that make me last out. These people aren’t needy. They’re entitled and lazy.

Too bad your trip was kind of a bust.
Funny about the Venmo. I saw on FB recently, a younger person stating it was his birthday, then he shared his Venmo account. People are kinda brazen with asking for money. 😳

It’s crazy. I’m sympathetic to a good charity drive… but birthdays and honeymoons? No.
