Wander...back into podcast episodes and European travel


​

Hey, Reader!

Do you ever get the urge to wander?

We get it! We've been wandering for six years. But your wandering style is going to be different than ours, your neighbor's, and even your best friend's style.

And what are you wandering for? Nature? Adventure? Food and drinks? Beer? All of the above?

It doesn't matter what you want to wander for, what matters is that you give yourself a chance to do so. Whether that be for a few hours, a few days, a few months, or even a few years.

Did you also know that mind wandering can be good for you, too? That's good news for me. My mind seems to love to wander, especially when I'm trying to focus.

So, what's the deal with all the wandering thoughts (pun intended)?

Well, first, we want you to wander with us into Wanderment Brewing, one of Denver's newest breweries. And we've got John, co-founder, co-owner, and head brewer on our podcast. (From which we are back from an unscheduled break, and we have some cool upcoming episodes.)

Second, we want you to wander along with us as we take off for Germany and Belgium tonight! Be sure you're following along on Facebook and Instagram as we wander our way through places unplanned and planned, beer, scenery, people, blunders, and fun. Belgian Beer Weekend and Oktoberfest included!

Third, wander freely dear, and maybe you'll even wander to Colorado and Idaho next year for Camp Carpe Diem!

CRAFT BEER TRAVEL & ADVENTURE NEWS

Craft Beer Hall of Fame

Newly established to honor, celebrate, and commit to history those people who are responsible for initiating, sustaining, and promoting the American craft beer industry.

Mind Wandering Can Be Good For You

Although it may seem counterproductive to spend nearly half of the time you're awake with your head in the clouds, experts say otherwise.

Miranda Miller, MTB Badass

Miranda is an example that hard work wins. She’s a really good example for the girls. She doesn’t bring attention to the fact that she is a girl; she just lets her personality and riding do the talking.
