Updated Day 3

We just left the rest stop and are on the road again, probably hour or so hours outside of Omaha, Nebraska and about eleven hours outside of our hotel in Fort Collins, Colorado. But I’m going to jump back into day three again. After a brief stop for some samples and six packs to add to our collection of beer in the trunk of Matt’s Honda Accord, we were off on the road again. This time we were headed to Middle Ages in Syracuse, New York. Because of our stop at Cooperstown Brewery we were pushing it close to 6:00 pm closing. We arrive there at 5:50 pm, just in time for one sample. We walk around the gift store and talk to an employee and a few visitors. One of the people in there is the mailman who sells his own beef jerky. I’m not going to lie, beef jerky and beer are two of my favorite things in the world. Women being another one (love you mom). Anyway, it’s closing time for the tasting room at Middle Ages. We decide that since none of us have tried the beer that another six pack is a good idea to throw in the trunk. We take off from Middle Ages, and the rest of our night is pretty uneventful.

We continue on the trip and end up in a hotel in Buffalo, New York. Ben is exhausted and extremely jet lagged so we decide that going out in Buffalo is not in our best interest. Instead we decide to share a couple of growlers of beer that we have picked up along the way. Side note: Growlers are a 64 ounce glass bottle usually with a small handle and topped off with a metal cap. The glass can be a variety of colors but brown growlers are preferable because beer in brown glass does not spoil as quickly as beer in clear glass. Anyhow, we order in some food from Domino’s and drink in the classiest fashion that we know, clear plastic cups. We settle sleeping arrangements and call it an early night.
