The Freefolk Brewery is Fayetteville's newest craft beer destination.


The brewery has a number of craft beers on tap, which range from pale ales and blonde ales to IPAs and goses.

I ordered a flight so I could try a few of their unique brews - Ubiquitous, Pretty Polly, Moon Dog, and Gorgeous 876.

Here's what I went with - a bevy of light beers!

While I waited, I took a look around at the incredible art.

This space is truly phenomenal, with colorful art decorating the walls, as well as metal work outside.

My beer came out, and I sampled each. I was a fan of each and every one of them.

And, I needed some nourishment so I went with nachos topped with shrimp.

Look at that beauty! Some smokey and creamy and crunchy. One of my favorite snacks.

Have you been?

I've been to Kustom Kreams previously, but since they moved, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit.


This is a large space that has ample dining area. When I was there, there were quiet a few folks enjoying their ice cream inside.

After looking over the menu board, I decided on "Turtle Brownie" ice cream.

They took a brownie, chopped it up, layered in caramel, topped with nuts and ice cream!


What's your favorite flavors here?

I try to make the rounds to every beer festival in West Virginia at least once.

And Snowshoe's Blues, Brews & BBQ has eluded me for years.

That is, until this weekend!

I made it with my friend Maggie on the last day to check out the BBQ vendors and craft beer.

There were tons of vendors spread throughout, offering a good bit of local and not-so-local options.

Have you been?

In Huntington, there's a pho war of sorts.

And by that, I mean there are two pho restaurants right across the street from one another.

And recently I visited them both.

First, I went to Pho Noodle House, and then I went to Pho U & Mi.

The latter is the more recent restaurant, I gather.

I started with an order of crab rangoons (because of course), and then for my entree I tried banh mi: bbq pork.

Banh mi was sounding more exciting to me on this day than pho. But I do enjoy both! Which one of these restaurants do you favor?

Have you heard of The Strawberry Lady? She's known in the area for bringing fresh strawberries from Florida. And this past Valentine's Day, my valentine sent me a dozen chocolate-covered strawberries from Rock City Cake Company - made with strawberry lady strawberries!
