Bourbon & Brew -The Grand Tasting 2015

I was just looking back, and it seems I have not been to a Bourbon & Brew Fest.  Highly strange, I love all of Big City Event’s festivals, but it seems this one always came up after I had committed to something else.  Not this year!

This year instead of the traditional festival they are having a bourbon tasting. There will be over 40 kinds of bourbons to try and it’s all in Tampa this Saturday from 5pm – 10pm.

Now I gotta admit I love a really good bourbon over ice, but also flavors amuse me greatly. There will be Jim Beam Maple Whiskey (hell ya!) and this:

bourbon-cream-products

Now, I doubt they will have bourbon cream floats at the tasting, but I will be trying the Brown Jug Bourbon Cream no matter what they mix it with. Or don’t mix it with. Enough said.

Besides the opportunity to taste all kinds of bourbon there will, of course, be some brews AND moonshine.

Oh, and don’t forget the music. All country all the time.

So, to be honest I’m not exactly a good ole country girl. Or anything other kind of country. But I love pretty much all live music, and who doesn’t love this?

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLWDxh8NBOo] I am so going to buy a cowboy hat before Saturday!

Go here for all the important info including prices, what you can and can’t bring and such. The Grand Tasting is at Armature Works on Tampa’s Riverwalk. Have I said enough times yet how much I love Riverwalk?  Probably not.

After you do that, how about a chance to win a pair of General Admission tickets?  Just let me know if you are a year round country fan or a fan of convenience (like me) and if you’ve listened to any of the bands that will be at the tasting!  Also, use the Rafflecopter link so I know who you are:
Enter HERE!!!

I received two VIP tickets to The Bourbon & Brew Grand Tasting 2015 in exchange for writing a review and a giveaway. As always, my opinions are all mine.

Looking for adventure and great photos!

Took a leisurely 4 days to drive from Utah to Sout Took a leisurely 4 days to drive from Utah to South Dakota. Quite a different after being in the desert so long! 

These pictures are from my first outing in South Dakota, and yeah, I'd say it's pretty cool. For the record, the bison was walking up the left side of the road, so I pulled off on the right side a bit up the road to see if he would walk by. He crossed to my side and walked within a couple feet of the car!  I did not try to pet the fluffy cow.

I got some amazing pictures but they don't do the reality justice.  Definitely go if you get the opportunity!
How cool is this place? Grey dirt and cube shaped How cool is this place? Grey dirt and cube shaped boulders bigger the size of a van! 

I am not sure if I was in or just near Escalante to be honest.  Either way, it's amazing how many completely different looking areas there are around here.

Hiked to the Maze Rock Art Site in Vermilion Cliff Hiked to the Maze Rock Art Site in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. It's a short & easy hike to see these petroglyphs, about a 1.5 total out and back.  It's a really fun (remote) hike with very few people.

I cannot reccomend exploring National Monuments enough. They are just as awesome as our national parks, but usually have fewer crowds. Usually (not always!) they also have fewer amenities and more dirt roads, but they are awesome.

I've been in Utah for less than a week and can alr I've been in Utah for less than a week and can already tell one month isn't enough time. This area has more trails within a few miles than anywhere else I've stayed so far. And they've all been spectacular so far!!

This isn't really a hike - it's right off the road This isn't really a hike - it's right off the road. But how cool is this tunnel?? It's also pitch black and uneven footing in the middle.  Shockingly I didn't trip, but a light wouldn't have hurt. 

I've been in Utah for only a few days but I already know I won't be running out of new places to hike this month!
Horse Shoe Bend has been on my list of places I'd Horse Shoe Bend has been on my list of places I'd like to see in person for a while. I realized I was passing it on my way to the grocery store in Page, AZ and had to stop. Ten dollars and a mile and  a half round trip walk on a well graded path. So they said, but I'm not sure if it was even a mile total.
 And dog friendly!! I'm still super excited I got to see it in person.

The trail name in All Trails is Ghost Town Pahreah The trail name in All Trails is Ghost Town Pahreah Trail, but I saw no ghost and no town, though I did pass an old graveyard.  Decided to walk up the river a few miles and there was no direction you could look in at anytime that was not amazing.

This is just one of the cool stops on the hike to This is just one of the cool stops on the hike to Penasco Blanco. I could easily have spent a week in this park.

I was driving pretty much in the middle of nowhere I was driving pretty much in the middle of nowhere looking for a trail and saw a sign for Chaco pointing down a rutted dirt road. It was about 23 SLOW miles driving and then a 4 mile hike here. An amazing site! You walk past 3 smaller pueblos and lots of pictographs on the way. 

The ranger said you could spend 2 or 3 days exploring the park and I could totally see that. There's a few other long hikes. I think I took 5 hours walking 8 miles. There is so much history to see! And another win - very few people.
One of the 3 kings! One of the 3 kings!
I had planned to go to Bisti Wilderness after Taos I had planned to go to Bisti Wilderness after Taos several months ago but had to cancel after my little hiking accident.  But I finally made it!  I'm really excited to explore the area. Day 1 was a five mile walk through amazing formations. Lots of petrified wood - I wasn't expecting that!

Hiked up Golden Canyon first thing this morning. Hiked up Golden Canyon first thing this morning.  This is why a month in each place isn't too long. After work random hikes close to home and go straight to one of the busy hikes weekend mornings.  You pass the crowds coming in as you're leaving. And in this case, beat the heat.

Death Valley keeps showing new shockingly beautiful places. I'm already planning to come back.

It's wild how many springs are in what looks like It's wild how many springs are in what looks like a desolate, dry landscape. No swimming allowed but it's very tempting!

You do have to drive down a long and dusty road to get to this one. You can no longer guess my car's actual color...
