Hazy Hopricot IPA at Cuyuna Brewing in Crosby. Very juicy, very good. 🍺

High Wheel Confectionary

We were all super impressed and had a fun time visiting High Wheel Confectionary in Ironton. The ice cream was delicious with very generous scoops. The soda cellar was wild with some very crazy flavors. I got a bottle of Moxie which I discovered for the first time when we were visiting Maine many years ago. I also got a Goo Goo Cluster which we made when we were in Nashville! There is even a toy store selection upstairs with a lounge.

It was clear that the person that created this store had put a lot of thought and passion into it. Great stop if you are in the area!

Had some good brisket at Hudson Smokehouse for dinner tonight. Mac-n-Cheese was also very good.

Mountain biking on the Galloping Goose trail today.
