The Northwest Brewery Adventure

I am sorry for not posting for a while, but let me explain why.  I have still been picking on the regular, haven't found anything amazing but still making a profit.  I have been on super-hustle mode since my lovely girlfriend last minute decided to plan a road trip, that included stopping at a lot of breweries and tasting the beer.  Awesome girlfriend, I know.
So for now I am going to be posting about this experience and I will be picking on the road as well as drinking LOTS of beer.  Check on this blog and my youtube channel to get the latest scoops and updates on our trip.  I hope I can capture some amazing moments to share with you all.



This is the video and below is our "planned" Itinerary.  Feel free to leave comments on things we should do or if you want to meet up!
