Hop in a Vintage VW Bus and Experience Craft Beer in Portsmouth

Since moving to the Seacoast, I have broadened my beer horizons!

I used to only drink fruity beers that bear a close resemblance to juice (think Seadog Blueberry and Blue Moon Mango). Slowly but surely, I have started dabbling in Sours, Hefeweizens, and even some Stouts! My husband, Steven, is big into the craft beer scene, and there is plenty of it here in New Hampshire.

On Airbnb, I stumbled upon an awesome and unique craft beer tour right in Portsmouth!

The host, Neil, is a proud resident of downtown Portsmouth and the owner of a 1968 VW Bus (or as former guests call it, the Magical #NachoBus). He takes his groups to three local breweries (which are subject to change), and they do a tasting at each one.

The breweries on the agenda can vary from Liars Bench, Great Rhythm, Earth Eagle, and/or Portsmouth Brewery, Stoneface, Loaded Question, or Cisco. Neil provides pearls of wisdom, great snacks, and a tailored local beer experience. He gets rave reviews from tourists and locals alike!

The tours are $68 a person, and Neil appears to have some openings at the beginning of April. What a fun activity to look forward to for the spring!

7 Invasive Insect Species That Can Damage Crops and Other Plants in New Hampshire

In an effort to inform the public on the types of invasive species that are known to be found in their state, the USDA offers a handy dandy "Pest Tracker". This allows you to simply click the name of your state from the drop-down menu provided to see pictures of the different insects and weeds, along with descriptions of the type of plant life they target and the damage they can do if they're not dealt with.
