Weekend Roundup 2/23
It’s looking like another packed weekend is ahead for me.
So far this week, I had brief, work-related meetings at Shady McGrady’s (I think I need a beer app to track the craft beers I try – any suggestions?) and Zia’s at Red Door (I scored a taste of a French red from last week’s tasting happy hour on the cheap).
I’m thinking Friday, we’ll stop by the newly reopened Wing Co. for some takeout dinner. On Saturday, it’s double duty with a bridal shower luncheon and a classy bachelorette bar tour (we’re starting at the Hilton and ending at Level 2 with stops at Blue Heaven and Stock’s on Second in-between).
On Sunday afternoon, it’s a long overdue tour of Al’s of Hampden’s brew-lair, Pizza Boy Brewing Co. Stay tuned for a future column on its progress.
