Just placed my first order on Bite Squad. Totally confused how much to tip for the driver, isn’t that what the delivery fee is for?

Passed through Kubb Capital of North America (Eau Claire, WI). No stopping, 9 hour road trip today.

Little healthy snack while on the road.

61 mile road construction zone on I-90? Ouch.

Noting that Minnesota Kubb has hosted three Kubb tournaments this year. Think only USA Kubb has hosted as many in a year in the states.

Goodbye Saugatuck! Think we will be back. Great time! Time to drive, all day.

Beach Kubb with Tyler today.

Saugatuck Dune Ride

Us at the top of one of the higher dunes at the midpoint of the Saugatuck Dune Rides tour. The dune ride was a lot of fun, if your in the area put it on your list. Kids had a blast too. You can see Lake Michigan from the top of this dune, and the driver gave a great overview of how the dunes were formed. Interesting note, all the trees around us are actually six individual trees that have been covered in over 100 feet of sand!

Saugatuck Brewing Sampler

More opportunities to try local beers at Saugatuck Brewing. I picked a bunch of hoppy brews. The serving method was a little odd, if you had a table with 4 of these it would be a bit unwieldy. Overall great beer but one stood well above for me.

Saugatuck Brewing Sampler

  1. Pathfinder Pale Ale: Light, refreshing. Good hops. Straightforward, solid beer.
  2. Motueka’s Revenge: Good full body. Reminded me of Surly Furious, but less power on the hops. Like a 50% strength Furious.
  3. Fortunate Events IPA: Bitter. Lots of bite. Not overly fruity.
  4. Not Messing Around Double IPA: Holy cow! Oak! Bourbon! Very strong. Like drinking Jack Daniels. Not my thing, but I’m sure folks that like this would like it a lot.
  5. Singapore IPA: Bitter. Not much body.
  6. Continuum IPA: Delicious and packed with hops. Definitely my favorite of the group.

Unfortunately their website is completely down right now, and seems like it has been for a while, so no links for these beers
