Saratoga Brewfest

This past weekend Marc and I drove out to upstate New York to meet up with my friend Kate and her husband Rob for the Saratoga Brewfest. We started out by meeting up in Saratoga Springs for a leisurely lunch. Then around 3pm we headed to the brewfest at the fairgrounds. There was 20,000 square feet of covered space where we could taste over 125 beers from 50 plus craft breweries. There was beer from Stone Brewery in California to Long Trail in Vermont and everything in between. We had a great time trying the different beers and catching up.

After the brewfest Kate suggested we head out to Harvest and Hearth for some pizza. She had found a great review on Chowhound and thank goodness she did. The restaurant was right on the water and as we pulled into the parking lot we were able to watch the sunset over the creek. Originally we were given a wait time of 20 minutes but ended up being seated in just 10 minutes. The pizza was to die for. We split a pepperoni and a mushroom pizza and couldn't have been happier. I guess after the brewfest we were all hungry because the pizzas disappeared quite rapidly.

On Sunday we enjoyed breakfast together and then parted ways. Marc and I headed back to Vermont, stopping for a surprise visit to his mom in Rutland on our way home. It was such a beautiful weekend and great to be able to spend time with Kate, Rob and Marc's mom.
