This coming week, Ray and I are dusting off our suitcases and taking a bit of a roadtrip — a mini vacation before all the wedding tasks really pile up.

We’re heading north, to central and western NY, where I spent my early adulthood. We’ll be in Ithaca, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo, before heading down to Miamisburg, OH (near Dayton) for my cousin Kerry’s high school graduation.

I figured since we’d already be on the road for the graduation and we would only have had a 4-day week at work (even less with leaving early for the graduation in Ohio), we might as well take some time to see some of my favorite places in NY.

Now, I wouldn’t be mentioning ANY of this if it weren’t for the fact that we have approximately four brewery/brewpub visits lined up for the NY leg of our trip:

Ithaca Beer Co.
Rohrbach Brewing Co.
Flying Bison Brewing Co.
Pearl Street Grill & Brewery

There’s also the possibility of checking out some Ohio beer, thanks to my Uncle Steve, who has become a proud member of the craft beer drinking community.

Ray will be bringing his precious Mac Book Pro, so we’ll try to give you updates while we’re on the road. And of course we’ll have a trunk full of homebrews to share with friends and family!
