Post-wedding Brewery Pit Stop in Grandy, NC

It's been a busy couple of weeks. I spent most of last week in Philadelphia for the Public Library Association conference. It was inspiring and fun but also very exhausting. I think I'll write about that adventure next time, because last weekend, I went to a wedding in the Outer Banks with Boyfriend and haven't yet been able to write about it.

On the way back home to Richmond from the wedding, we stopped for lunch at the Weeping Radish Farm Brewery. It was a fun place place to have a beer and some German food. Or in my case, a chicken Philly sandwich. The best part is they have goats!

The little one is pretty cool.

Boyfriend and I, who were both pretty hungover from a weekend spent drinking in honor of his friend's marriage, shared a sampler of the beer varieties they brew on premises at the Weeping Radish. Someone in our party also ordered an impressive sausage sampler. I don't like sausage and I didn't eat any but it looked like something a meat lover might enjoy--a giant plate of sausages, served with salty pretzels.

Beer samplers are always adventures in themselves.

The beer here was not really my thing. It all tasted a little watery to me. They have a German version of a Shandy that I liked, and the IPA was definitely drinkable. But I was underwhelmed by the Weeping Radish beers, even while I had a great time tasting each variety, eating some of the best onion rings I've ever had, and petting some super rad goats (I want one now.). It was a perfect hangover lunch experience--a cherry on top of a long weekend full of quality time with friends.
