Meet the new kid on the block, a brewery that looks to create something new for all the beer fanatics of Atlanta. Located in northwest Atlanta’s Bolton neighborhood, Scofflaw Brewery Co. has finally opened their doors, after having been in the planning stages for the past 4 years.

It’s been a while–what’s new
Hi everyone. It’s been some time, eh? A quick update on me: I graduated from university, and I have a real job and whatnot. I’m also a content editor for a startup company in Atlanta–CulinaryLocal. They’re a marketing and ticketing platform for local food and drink events in Atlanta. Basically, I get to know all…
A Snowy Saturday
What’s better than having a lazy day? Having a lazy day inside, watching huge flakes of snow drift to the ground, French music playing in the background, hands peeling apples and pears, rolling pastry dough, making tarts. This semester finds me in a class about cuisine. How appropriate, right? Well, the assignment for the weekend…
A Lazy Day in Kilkenny
Both of us were still exhausted. Waking up at 8, we surfed the internet before dragging ourselves out of bed to make muffins. It was nice to cook with gas stove again, though it was a learning experience to use a gas oven. I’m very accustomed to gas stoves, but gas ovens are new to…
To Kilkenny I Did Ride
I’d recommend listening to this as you continue reading. My friend Emma (yes, same name) and I took the bus with the group to the airport and had our bus tickets to Kilkenny. The plan was Airport-Dublin Centre-Kilkenny. The website said it was possible, so we got the tickets ahead of time. It turns out,…
Sláinte
Irish lesson again: How do you say “cheers” in Ireland? “Sláinte” [slahn-chə]: meaning “health” So the next time you sit down for a Guinness, raise your glass, look into the eyes of your drinking pal, and exclaim, “Sláinte!” It was our last full day in Dublin as a group. A few of us went on…
Raise Your Banners High: Welcome to Belfast
Welcome to Ireland everyone. Travel this semester has allowed me to add a few countries to my list. Countries: United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) and the Republic of Ireland. Cities: Belfast, Londonderry (with a side-step to the Giant’s Causeway), and Dublin, not to mention the after-trip to Kilkenny for a food festival (don’t worry, I promise…
MerSea Paris!
I must be the worst blogger for stopping in the middle of a story. My school schedule is a little less full, so I will make it my new (school) year’s resolution to update you each Wednesday. Today, of course is exception. I decided that, while spending a few hours in the Philadelphia airport, to…
Il Neige à Paris
Welcome to Paris, a city of wine, baguettes,and, for us, snow and rain. Travel this semester was spectacular, though, I don’t think anything can add up to the fun I had in Italy. Paris is Paris, of course, so no complaints from me. Our room was nice and cozy. The view out or window looked…
Winter Cooking
Over the break, I hosted my annual dinner party. I didn’t get to cook the potatoes, but other than that, it went well. It was nice to see all my friends again after such a long time. The best news I heard coming back to school was that the oven was fixed. (with much help…
