Our Crafty Plan:

My sister Andrea and I are on a long-term beer adventure! Between the two of us, we are trying to have a beer from each state while in the state. It doesn’t have to be the best beer in the state, or even a craft beer. It doesn’t have to be a particular location (airports count!). It just has to be a beer brewed in the state and consumed by one of us while physically in the state.

Only one of us has to have a beer in the state for it to count but bonus points if we both have a beer from the state while in the state and jackpot if we get to enjoy the beer together.

We’ve each hit some places before this grand idea but decided to start tracking from 2015 (but noted one time when we def. drank in Cali together in 2014.)
