Today is officially the start of fall,
although this is more accurate representation of "fall" in September:
{source}
On June 21st {the 1st day of summer}
I created a seemingly impossible Summer 2015 Bucket List,
this summer has been one of transition for me and I am happy I created this mission!
Here are the results:
Breweries we visited are blogged and linked
- Go To All Breweries in NJ
Beer Bucket List:
We have already been to:
✓- Harvest Moon Brewery

✓+1- Beach Haus Brewing
✓+1- Forgotten Boardwalk

The Garden State Craft Brewers Guild has a nice clickable list of these NJ breweries + maps!
NJBeer.org updated their list of breweries and breweries in planning
since the initial post card/bucket list idea,
these will all be bonus breweries if we can go to them:
- Ramstein
✓- Conclave
✓- Magnify
- Asbury Park Brewery
- Czing Meister Brewing Co
- Jersey Girl Brewing
- Twin Elephant Brewing
- Two Ton Brewing
- Wet Ticket
- The Wharton
+ Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery in Virginia
✓+ BONUS: The Bronx Brewery!
- Read all the books on my night stand:
- "Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell
✓- "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser
- "Divergent" by Veronica Roth
- "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski
✓+1+ BONUS: Mr. Kate "A Hot Glue Gun Mess"
✓+1+ BONUS: {audio book} 5th Wave:
- Also want:
1/2- Learn photoshop in time for my year recap to do better collages on the blog
- hit the gym {written in pencil because I have commitment problems...
but I need to get in shape}
✓- Go to the Brooklyn Flea market + Brooklyn Brewery {as mentioned above}!
- Take a glass blowing class with my sisters
So in summary, summer needs to be longer!
We achieved 26/53 breweries on our list almost 50%,
it was hard to keep track of, and even harder to achieve.
Most small breweries are only open 1-2 days a week for limited hours,
some are still "in planning" & the list keeps changing on The Garden State Craft Brewers Guild
We did go to DogFish & Brooklyn which were bigger bucket list items
+ a bonus trip to the Bronx
I am still working on reading my books on the night stand...
I got sucked deeper into Podcast land {see my faves here}
& that took place of reading this summer
Other notes:
- Still working on photoshop... but I did start A Beautiful Mess course on it!
- Still need to "hit the gym" :/
- Still need to take a glass blowing class, although we did go kayaking!
The Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery in Virginia item on the list will be moved to fall,
Should I continue this series?
Should I finish off this list / make a new one for this fall?
Let me know what you think!
Thanks for joining me!
