Saturday morning after our amazing dinner, Chris and I had breakfast at the Inn, which was nice! They had a pretty good spread of bagels, granola, cereal, oatmeal and fruit!
Sadly, it was pouring when we got up and headed into the village of Woodstock (we walked from the Inn). After checking out the shops, we headed to Kingston. There’s not much in Kingston. Actually, I ran a race there last month with Heather. But Saturday we had other plans.
We went to Keegan Ales Brewery! Chris and I each ordered a beer. I got Old Capital. It was okay–not my favorite beer, actually. Keegan Ales was the beer I had at the end of the Shamrock Run, but I couldn’t remember which one I had after the race.
We also split Mother’s Milk. It was dark and delicious.
We decided since we had no real plans for lunch to order something here. We got some nachos and a quesadilla to share. Not too healthy, but they sure were delish.
While were were at the brewery, there was also a bachelor party going on. We overheard one of the brew masters talking a group of guys about chugging beer from one of the fermentation tanks. What?? Seriously? They let people DO that? The answer: yes, they do. And its quite hilarious to watch.
Each member of the bachelor party got his chance to chug Mother’s Milk from a 30 degree fermentation tank, and the guy to drink the longest won! And only one guy threw up.
They sure are hardcore…
Anyway, after that amusing debacle, Chris and I went off to the Hudson Valley Mall to see a movie I’ve been waiting forever to see.

Water for Elephants!!! Since Water for Elephants was one of my favorite books, I was so excited to see the movie! And I loved it! I was worried it wouldn’t do the book justice, but it was actually great. It made me happy.
After the movie, Chris and I headed to Rhinebeck, which was only a short drive over the river from Kingston.
To be continued!
so glad you guys had a great weekend! can’t wait to hear more about it!! (and see you sooooooooooooooon!)

Thanks Jen – glad you had a good time. I am the owner/brewmaster encouraging the calorie chugging. Not healthy I know, but you only get one bachelor party (theoretically) and nobody was driving. New World is one of my favorite local restaurants too. Hope to see you again soon.
thanks for commenting! my boyfriend and i had a good time–we’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Kingston!
that food looks simply delish! I definitely want to try that brewery and those pictures from the bachelor party made me laugh
SO GLAD THAT WATER FOR ELEPHANTS WAS GOOD! It’s one of my fav books and I was wondering if I would be disappointed, but I’m glad to hear you liked it.
can’t wait to see you Saturday <3
