On the way home from work this evening, we stopped at Urban Artifact…

They were tapping a limited batch of their new Ram Press Spiced Apple Tart Ale…

We thought it was really pretty amazing. It tasted just like a delicious cross between applesauce and an apple strudel especially with the sugar on the rim of the glass. We also tried a taster of their Wine Poached Pear. It was very good as well. They create such incredible tasting beers at Urban Artifact. Completely different than anything else around. No wonder they’re one of our favorite breweries. πππΊβ€οΈ

Every time I’d walk by this archway on my way down a little alley to go to Dunkin Donuts in downtown Cincinnati, I was always kind of shocked that there wasn’t any graffiti on it…

And there you go… Tag! You’re it. ππ¨ποΈβ€οΈ
Oh, and I thought the light was really pretty between the buildings this morning on the way back to the office…

Early this afternoon, we walked down to Blue Jay for lunch…

We both had grilled cheeses and fries. My grilled cheeses had so much turkey on it…



After lunch, we walked over to Urban Artifact…

UA was hosting the Holiday Ohio Explored Ohio Maker Mart. We didn’t know there were going to be food trucks at Urban Artifact this afternoon. I don’t know that we would have skipped Blue Jay though. Those grilled cheeses really hit the spot…







There was even more stuff downstairs in UA’s taproom…



It was really fun to wander around and look at all the crafts. If you were looking for a new hand-knit winter hat, this was the place for you. Genifer got two new winter hats. And I got a really shiny ring with beautiful inlays. After the Maker Mart, we walked down to Second Place for a drink. They replaced all their beer tap handles with the tops of trophies. I wonder how long they’ve been like that and I never noticed…


It was another really fun Saturday in Northside. We love our neighborhood. πποΈβ€οΈ

After work this evening, I hopped the Cincinnati Metro 11 bus…

I rode the eleven up to East Walnut Hills…


I met her just around the corner from her work at Woodburn Brewery. Because we saw that Woodburn had their Chocolate Mint Imperial Stout back on tap. It’s the beer that tastes just like a Girl Scouts Thin Mint cookie…



There were also empanadas from Che. I really love empanadas…





We got the trio of empanadas. We tried the beef, Cuban and pepperoni empanadas…

All of them were very good but the traditional beef empanada is always my favorite.


I was a fun Friday evening with great empanadas and a pretty outstanding beer. We’ll have to do this again soon. ππΊβ€οΈ

No more building. No more debris. There isn’t even a big hole in the ground anymore. ππ§β€οΈ
