craft beer market

this past weekend mr. handsome and i went out for a night on the town with my parents.

 dinner and a concert? okay, twist my arm.

growing up there were two tapes (yes, tapes, not cd's) that pretty much were the anthem/soundtrack to all family road trips.  don william's greatest hits and pretty much anything sang by randy travis.  we were raised on country and to this day that's where my heart belongs.

so when i found out a few months ago that don william's was coming to calgary on tour,  i immediately jumped on board and got tickets for the four of us.

childhood relived, live!

and because you can't go to a concert on an empty stomach or thirsty, we first had dinner & great craft beer, courtesy Craft Beer Market @ 345 10th avenue sw.

for someone who appreciates a good beer, is married to someone who brews his own, it's a wonder how this was my first visit to a place that should really be a regular watering hole.
