Beer AND Cheese: A brew for @meesterboom- Boom-Scotch-A-Locka!

in #travel5 years ago (edited)


While perusing the events at http://www.fingerlakeswinecountry.com/ my eyes fell upon a call from Heaven.

A cheese fest.

At a brewery.

Cheese and Beer? Someone f*&cking loves me!!

I've only been to this brewery once when it first opened because...well it's the very last one on the trail heading into Watkins Glen and I just never make it that far!

But that changes after yesterday, this place RAWKS!

Tables lined every wall of the back room...so many varieties of mouthwatering goodness

(Poor Mama Dreemit taken off guard by a chunk of Habanero cheese, hee)

We grabbed a table and stashed our goods,

then went back in for sweet, sweet beer!

And as we waited for our flight I did a double take at the sign...

2018-11-03 22.23.54-01.jpeg



Me Boom, this brewery calls to you! Come to NY and party with @dreemit!

2018-11-03 22.23.58-01.jpeg



Your beer and your phobia, how did they know??

2018-11-03 22.24.10-01.jpeg



Seriously hard pressed to find a more beautiful sight than this...and the scenery isn't bad either!

2018-11-03 22.28.34-01.jpeg



Mmm, just mmmm.

2018-11-03 22.28.42-01.jpeg




And did I mention it's family friendly? Little Boom and Little Lady type creatures everywhere I looked!

-Breaking the seal-

2018-11-03 22.22.25-01.jpeg



Poor Mama Dreemit got a wee bit confused by these signs...she went right, yes she did, and got an eyeful...

2018-11-03 23.40.19-01.jpeg



...of something like this- Which happened to strangely be the sole picture hanging in the women's bathroom

...and I just realized HAHAHAAAHAAAA, MY HAND!! Holy freaking Ass Grab!!

2018-11-03 23.42.22-01-01.jpeg



There was a decent band playing classic and alternative rock...

2018-11-03 23.11.50-01.jpeg



...so we decided to stay in after our potty break.

2018-11-03 23.12.19-01.jpeg




(Plus it was getting a wee bit chilly out there.)

2018-11-03 23.37.06-01.jpeg



Mom decided to order a pizza

2018-11-04 00.17.13-01.jpeg



and a glass of Jabberwocky wine
which left me double fisting
her barely touched beer and mine...

^poetry tag worthy, amiright?^

2018-11-04 00.24.17-01.jpeg



Okay, so I usually really suck at taking video, which is why I keep it brief, but the beer really did make me awesome cuz this clip rawks!




A really good two man band if I do say so

That place looks awesome! I'm glad you were able to stumble upon the event when you did! Not only did we get a Mama Dreemit sighting, but we also get a @dreemit sighting that's not in a bathroom haha! Hope you gals had the time of your lives!

Another place for you to look forward to visiting, it is awesome! Of course with a beer name like that I had to dedicate this to Boom haha, but wouldn't it be the freaking best if you guys could visit at the same time?

Awww man that would be spectacular! I really hope that we could arrange that!

Oh man, that looks amazing from head to toe!!

I mean the beer in my name, hehe. I would love to try it. Was it good? And the family friendliness, that's Rawlings. Although I do like to keep my family way from the beer'ing ;0)

And the views! In that video where you turn to the window and you see the sun hanging low over the water. It looks flipping magic.

One day lass, one day!!!

It is indeed a gorgeous part of the country. @dreemit, nothing like a gorgeous (gorges) day to be wine-trailing it! boomie- this area has tons of gorges so the local saying is that the finger lakes are gorges! lolz

Lots of Ithaca is Gorges bumper stickers around here ;) They've been working on Watkins Glen gorge for the past year, if I get lucky with weather I'm definitely going to hike and photo bomb it, otherwise it will be a Spring post, but I did hike through Hector this weekend so a little mini falls post is coming :)

Haha, oh I do like a play on words!

Oh yeah, I probably should have said something about how it tasted hahaha! Yes, it was delicious, had a hint of malted chocolate and very smooth!

I understand about the separation of beer and babies, lol, but the atmosphere in these places isn't like a bar exactly, probably because they close by 6pm so you can catch a great afternoon buzz but not get completely stupid :)

Absolutely, it's written in the stars!

Haha but you have to get completely stupid in such an amazing place!!

At least that's what I do which will probably be my undoing some day!

I can't argue with that! I've never been much of a 'one and done' drinker either!

I'm still giggling over the accidental butt squeeze, I really didn't notice that until I was putting it up, haha!!

Lol, I didn't notice it at first. I am sure on a subconscious level it was deliberate!!

LOL, if I had realized my reflection would show up like that, I probably would have done it deliberately!

It was literally calling Boomy! Guess he has to visit now XD

Most of the wineries and breweries I've been to have been family friendly, they'd get more people staying there for longer and spending more money that way I guess XD

LoL I reckon you could do an entire series on The Adventures of Mama Dreemit XD

It was and he does! :) I guess growing up the wineries were family friendly, but we just didn't have any breweries around when I was young- and they have upped the ante with the outdoor games and such. Actually there were three couples with babies in there, one of them was only seven weeks old!

I totally could! She's up for anything these days, it's fun :)

Another fun day for one and all! Has Mama Dreemit lost some weight? Her face looks thinner, or different somehow, and I don't think it's just the glasses. The photo of her with the pizza - she looks extra gorgeous!

Yes, she's definitely lost some weight, she also started going to a new hairdresser and has a more flattering style :-)

ooh cheesy heaven , I love it , and those toilet signs are so fun !

Cheese is the bomb! Haha, I know, those signs are great!
