About last night… @tapcraft_draught was proud to attend the @sdbeernews award ceremony hosted by @alesmithbrewing where we sponsored the “Best New Brewery” category. Congrats to @seekbeerco for the win as well as getting the gold in the “Best Customer Service” category. Shout out to family and friends (who have become family) and especially the “FU! Crew” brew team at @northparkbeerco for racking up their share of awards too. NPBC received four first place awards including best Hazy IPA, best West Coast IPA, Best Brewery in the south region and Best Collaboration Beer brewed with @purebrewing and @burgeonbeer. Congrats to all the winners in all categories and thank you for sharing a beautiful night with us. #LUM #cheers #tapcraft_llc #tapcraft #seek #ipa #familia #sandiegobeernews #NPBC #beer #drinklocal #sponsor #supportsmallbusiness #hopfu #artishard #hazy #collab #craftbeer #localcraft #fucrew #sdsucraftbeerprogram (at AleSmith Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZqXXNuc25/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What’s a good Irish Protestant girl to do when St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Friday during Lent? Fish-n-chips from our favorite local restaurant @stpbar_n_grill paired with Irish Red Ale from @secondchancebeer, Corned Beef and Cabbage from another long time favorite @chickenpieshop for tomorrow, and a couple other green goodies. 🤣🍀Luck o' the Irish to you all! #LUM #cheers #luck #slainte #fishfryfriday #clover #shamrockshake #gummies #thedaywheneveryoneisirish #cornedbeefandcabbage #lent https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6nrnbu0OQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cheers to Friday at STP! Stopped in for their fabulous fish-n-chips (served on Fridays during Lent) which never disappoints. Shannon and Tina are wonderful hosts and treat us like family. It’s home cooking without us having to cook or clean up.

Happy Epiphany! “When they saw the star they were filled with joy! And going into the house, the 3 Magi saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” Matthew 2: 7-11 #LUM #cheers #threekingsday #epiphany #magi #jesus #gifts #kings #12daysofchristmas #wethreekings #travel #gold #frankincense #myrrh #manger #kingofkings #starofwonder #star #baby #awayinamanger #followtheonetrueking #love https://www.instagram.com/p/CnExNJeL9pT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When the stars finally align and you get to meet a dear social media friend who has become family. After a few mishaps over the past couple of years we got to clink glasses and enjoy some wonderful conversation and delicious Mexican food. How much God must love us to have sent us you. #LUM #cheers #familia #friendship #angelonearth #margaritamamas #galpals (at Casa de Pico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmpzePxpPVE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. “Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Luke 2:10-14 #LUM #cheers #scripture #merrychristmas #messiah #happybirthdayjesus #savior #emmanuel #thefirstnoel #awayinamanger #tidings #comfortandjoy #glorytogod (at Palos Verdes Estates, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmnARRkPfrR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We’ve had a long standing tradition of going to the zoo on Christmas Eve wearing seasonal jammies. The littles loved it and the grown ups drank beer. Although one branch of the family tree ditched us for Wyoming (where the temps are currently in the negative range) we continued the tradition and in their honor wore the same family PJs. P.S. The weather in San Diego is in the 70’s… Merry Christmas! #LUM #cheers #sandiegozoo #tradition #beer #pjsatthepark #webelongatthezoo #2022 #christmaseve #familia (at San Diego Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmkmQx7J8to/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 4th Sunday of Advent which represents Peace. This Sunday we focus our hearts on the “Lord of peace” who came down from heaven in the form of a baby. This next and last week before Christmas May be frantic and full of last minute errands and other activities. I pray you find some quiet time to be with family and friends and reflect on the pending arrival of the Savior. “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16 #LUM #cheers #advent #sunday #prepare #bethlehem #hope #faith #joy #peace #sunday #prepare #bethlehem https://www.instagram.com/p/CmVhQSIrCb1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
