What happens when you take a Londoner out for drinks at River Rat Brewing?
She gets super excited about the flights of beer versus a tall glass of beer because everything in London is super tiny and tiny beers are better. And then this series of pictures happens...
To be fair, I like the flights of beer a lot better than getting a whole big glass of beer so I can't really blame Amy for that. We got a flight to split that included:
2 Broad River Reds
2 Patersbier
1 Hazelnut Brown
1 American Kolsh Story
Nothing new or out of the ordinary there this time.
Afterwards, Patrick and I drove to Riverbanks Zoo for their Member's Night Out event. Can we talk about how much more enjoyable the zoo is when it isn't a million degrees outside when you're walking around? It was still fairly warm but it was a cooler {read: sub-100 degrees} day on Friday and a earlier rainstorm had cooled it off even more.
We missed all of the animal feedings, but had a good time walking around checking out all of the animals. You could tell that they are used to a regular schedule because all they wanted to do after 8pm was go to sleep.
The koalas had it easy - they could go to sleep whenever they wanted to {and looked super cuddly while doing so}
The giraffes? Not so much. We watched them walk towards the gate at the back of their exhibit time and time again, a little confused on why they weren't being allowed to go back to their barn to sleep.
Visit #2 to the zoo: success!
Next Up: Brew at the Zoo! ... hopefully we'll be combining my favorite brewery in Columbia {River Rat} with my favorite place to go {the zoo!}
Get excited, y'all.
I feel like giraffes are some of the most majestic animals...yes I realize this post was more about beer than that but I like the giraffes lol! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeletewe might be going to a brew at the zoo (if we can get tickets) and while i don't normally like going to the zoo, it should be fun! the poor giraffes lol.
ReplyDeleteI love that great elephant photo!! So cute how she got so excited about the tiny beer flights - I always like smaller things too.
ReplyDeleteI remember we used to go to night zoo events when I was younger, and I always loved it! The animals aren't exhausted in the hot sun and there are so many less people. That and the beer flights look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think the elephant exhibit there is much better these days. I vaguely remember it being much smaller in the '90s.
