With the vaccine available, it seems a good time to safely (with facemasks and hand sanitizer at the ready) get out and support breweries & restaurants both near and far, ever in search of delicious beer and food pairings.

For this “field trip”, Memphis, Tennessee proved a versatile place to sample mouth-watering regional specialties and tasty beer; while also providing great learning opportunities from the cities storied past.  Must see stops include: the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel to learn from, pay respects to, and never forget the past; a stop by Wiseacre Brewing Co.’s downtown Taproom for some refreshing brews to beat the heat; a walk through the alley and down the stairs for a hearty meal of charbroiled pork ribs at the famous Charles Virgo Rendezvous (accompanied with an appropriate beer of course); and if time permits, check-in and check out the Duck March at the Peabody Hotel.
