A little rain couldn’t dampen the spirit at the Jack Rome Memorial 5K and fun walk🐾💙

What a joy it was to support the animals at TJO and be surrounded by an incredible community.

The rainbow memorial wall was especially meaningful such a beautiful way to honor the pets who will always hold a place in our hearts 💕 🌈

Lavender in an IPA, are you in or out? 🪻🍺

For me, it’s a 100% yes! in Indian Orchard, MA has quickly become one of my favorite spots for craft beer in Western Massachusetts. Between the bold brews, immaculate music selection, pinball machine, and sticker wall, a quick stop for a beer often turns into two🍻.

🍻 Favorite sips:

🪻 Lavenous: Milkshake IPA | 7.2% ABV
Floral lavender notes meet the sweetness of vanilla in this bold, balanced beer. You’ll either love it or hate it, but it’s unforgettable.

🍑 Peach Mango Citra Blind: New England IPA | 6.8% ABV
Sweet, juicy, fruit-salad style sipper with bright peach and tropical mango flavors. Perfect for fans of hazy IPAs.

🌌 Galaxy Blind: New England IPA | 6.8% ABV
Packed with hops (Galaxy, Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic, Azacca), this hazy IPA delivers tropical and citrus flavors while remaining smooth and approachable.

If you’re looking for a fun spot to grab a beer or two, add Rustic to your list. ( And you go, let me know what you think of the lavender beer!!)

There’s no one else I’d rather bippity bippity boop with 🐭🎡✨
