For Steve's birthday (cool dude Sarah works with) (not pictured) and just because it was Thursday, Sarah B, Steve, Erik, The Bandit, Margaret, and I all met at Hopshire Farm Brewery for a shepherds pie competition and to drink some great local beer. What makes Hopshire special, besides that there beer is awesome, is that they are a farm brewery, which means they grow some stupid percentage of their ingredients right on property! Hyper local!
There were four shepherds pies to try and two new beers. They made a 4.2% stout which is an awesome easy drinker. 10 years ago we were all looking for high alcohol palette wreckers, but now that's so 2000s and we're into the session, farmhouse, and other low alcohol beers with great flavor. The shepherds pies were awesome, too. They had a good turnout, but it wasn't out of control, so we all got seconds.

And then it was the weekend.
