We got all crazy this weekend and actually left the confines of El Dorado Hills. \u00a0TWICE<\/strong>. \u00a0Let it not be said that we aren’t the Brave Explorers out here in our new environment. \u00a0Most of this craziness was due to all the rain we got over the weekend. \u00a0Can’t ‘que, can’t sit outside, can’t walk the dog… \u00a0Might as well drive. \u00a0So, Saturday we decided to go visit some of the local breweries. \u00a0One might point out that’s the same thing we did last<\/em> weekend, but that place was hardly local; That darn near qualified as a road trip. \u00a0We started our afternoon at New Glory<\/a> in Sacramento. \u00a0They’re relatively new in town, and not very widely available, but I enjoy their Mighty Eighth<\/a> at Ruff Haus on my sporadic visits there. \u00a0(They were so pleased to hear that, they gave me a few coupons for free stuff at Ruff Haus, score!) \u00a0We shared a few samples there, then moved on to Hoppy Brewing<\/a>. \u00a0After some mild negotiating, we convinced the other patrons to switch from the hockey game to the Mules basketball game. \u00a0I’m honestly not sure who was more incredulous; \u00a0Me, that they were actually watching<\/em> hockey, or them, that these odd interlopers wanted to take over the TV for a D2 basketball game. \u00a0In the end, Donette’s UCM tee-shirt was the trump card and we got to watch the exciting second half of the Mule’s victory. \u00a0We also enjoyed some fine grub. \u00a0I’d liken this place a lot to my beloved 75th Street; \u00a0Very good food, a bunch of regular customers, and “decent” beer. \u00a0For the most part we just enjoyed our lunch, then moved on to American River<\/a> in Rancho Cordova. \u00a0This place certainly lacked style points, stuck in the middle of a warehouse district with no windows. \u00a0(Hey, what would you look at anyway… \u00a0The other warehouses?) \u00a0They were nice, informative people though, and I did enjoy the 2x IPA I tried there.<\/p>\n

Sunday we once again technically left EDH city limits, but only to do our bi-weekly shopping in neighboring Folsom. \u00a0What a DRAG, I despise shopping. \u00a0We were perilously low on staples at the house though, so we had to suck it up and make the full rounds. \u00a0Trader Joe’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, the pet store, and Costco. \u00a0OK that doesn’t sound like much, but it was taxing. \u00a0We could have done with stops at Home Depot and the grocery too, but I was spent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
