And if you have made it this far through SF Beer Week events, well then I REALLY WANT TO MEET YOU. Yes, there are more events all the way until Sunday the 31st, but I had to draw the line somewhere. 😁
Also I just found out yesterday that I’ll be going to Germany for work on Saturday so I will not be able to attend the festivities (😭😩😭) but at least all my research can be shared with you beauties so you can get yo drank on! Seriously though, I NEED you to go so I can live vicariously through you. Pretty pleaseeeeeeeeeeee.
AND If you wanna live vicariously through me then make sure to follow me on Snapchat @chasingkendall to watch as I drink ALLLLL the beers in Germany. #germanbeerlove #prost 😝
