The Fourth Annual BrewFest CharlieWest was held Saturday at Appalachian Power Park.

It was also my first Power game in years, so I was excited to check out the baseball game.

The team recently moved from an affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates to one of the Seattle Mariners.

And, there were local craft breweries from around the state set up throughout the game.

So, it was a win-win for me.

My friend Maggie and I purchased general admission tickets and then purchased our beers separately.

I made a beeline to the Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company tent because I wanted to get my hands on a Zona's Revenge.

Our new flagship, Zona’s Revenge Witbier, named for Zona Heaster Shue aka The Greenbrier Ghost, is a wonderfully light refreshing Belgian-style wheat ale. Slightly cloudy in appearance, Zona offers a zesty orange, melon, fruity finish with hints of herbs and spices. Enjoy this pearly, refreshing Witbier while relaxing on the deck, or in a growler by the water. Zona’s Revenge is our former popular Lilly Dipper seasonal.

Tasty!

And the Power Park is home to some new foods that I hadn't tried before.


Have you heard of Got Jerk! Island Bar and Grill?

Maggie and I both decided to try something from the new menu.

I went with "Buffalo Soulja Chicken Nachos" which has buffalo chicken dip, diced tomatoes and jalapenos.

Maggie ordered the "Pulled Pork Sundae," which has a fried tortilla bowl, pulled pork topped with slaw and a cherry tomato.

What's your favorite ballpark snack?

Now, I've been to the Delmonte Market before.

But, now there are two small businesses operating out of this cool market.

There's The Crossing Coffee Bar.

This coffee bar is small, but mighty.

They have some creative latte flavors and some unique coffee blends.

Of course, I tried the salted caramel. Mmm.

And there's also The Market Creamery.

Now, this is essentially on the side of the coffee bar. But I believe they're separate.

But their ice cream flavors sound so good!

What have you had here?

This old country store in Harman is home to many things.

Bread, milk, local honey, guns, antiques.

And, it's also home to a kitchen with sandwiches, hot dogs, breakfast and more.

Looking over the menu, I had a tough time deciding.

It's actually quite lengthy!

Ultimately, I ordered an Italian sub and perused the store until it was ready.

There were so many other goodies I was tempted to buy:

Pepperoni rolls!

Raw honey.

Local maple syrup.

I loved this decor/antique.

Plus some primitive decorations.

Once my sandwich was ready, I picked it up from the kitchen and headed to the front of the store to purchase it.



It's huge!



I got it with all the fixins - lettuce, tomato, mayo, Italian, deli meats & cheeses. That's the only way to go.

What's your favorite thing here?

Wanderlust is a cool coffee shop/wine lounge combo in Philippi.

The large space has tons of room for groups to work, study and gather.

The coffee menu features espresso drinks, iced drinks, teas, hot chocolate and more.

I went for a latte with caramel - my go-to.

While I waited for my order, I was able to hang out in a little nook area - I love that!

This coffee shop could also easily be home to live music if it isn't already. It's such a great space.

To go with my coffee, I also got a muffin!

Blueberry, of course.


What would you order here?

Here's that muffin.

And my drink!

Oh, and if it wasn't great enough already - here are tons of books.
