Around the World from Home: Date Night at Nach-Yo Ordinary Tequila Tasting

Butterflies, I recently attended a tequila tasting for date night and it was so much fun. Tequila is a product of Mexico and is one of the world’s most recognized and favored spirits. Ironically, Mexico City is one of my travel goals…I’m looking forward to touring the tequila and Frida Kahlo museums while visiting. Until then, I’ll continue to enjoy my tequila drinks here in Texas.

Visiting Texas: Date Night at City Orchard Cidery

Butterflies, we had the pleasure of attending a pre-opening party for a new kind of brewery opening soon in Houston. City Orchard Cidery is a urban cidery located not far from downtown Houston that features various ciders on tap including the Austin born Texas Keeper Cider and Fairweather Cider Co.; there’s also a mouth watering menu full of delicious options. 

Visiting Texas: Date Night at Saint Arnold Brewery

This place has been on my “to experience” list for a very long time and I finally made it happen. Saint Arnold Brewery is located near downtown Houston; when we first arrived we kind of just walked around and checked out the place…it’s huge. There’s indoor and outdoor seating, a beer garden, an outdoor big screen for sports fans, outdoor games, a banquet hall for hosting events and of course the brewery tours.

Visiting Texas: 11Below Brewing Company + I Ate From a Food Truck for the First Time

Hey Butterflies! I spontaneously decided to go on an adventure after work today and ended up in northwest Houston, Texas at 11 Below Brewing Company. I was invited by a meetup group that I'm apart of which is a cool/casual way for me to experience so many different places that I probably wouldn't on my own and I had a great time. This brewery uses the chip/token system in which you pre-pay for your drinks.

Visiting Texas: Yellow Rose Distilling

Hey Butterflies! Last night me and my guy along with some fellow bloggers took a tour of Houston's first legal whiskey distillery, Yellow Rose Distilling. We picked up some souvenir shot glasses and a bottle of vodka I can't wait to mix drinks with. Now that I think about it, I should have picked up a bottle of whiskey too lol.  Now it's on to Comicpalooza...this should be an interesting weekend. Check out pictures from the tour below.
