Washington County Parks Beer Gardens w/Shanna Martin
My in-laws came down for a "Beer Garden and Bibinger's" Friday afternoon. Shanna and I had such a great time with her family. We started at Homestead Hollow Park, a Washington County Park in Germantown. After some great beer from 1840 Brewing Company and some fun live music, we went to Bibinger's Restaurant for a Friday night fish fry.
Shanna joins me this week to recount the evening.

[: [: [: [: [: [:The It's about a mile and a half from the freeway. And while we were going there, your parents were like, You know, it always amazes me how you know where you're going. And I was thinking, yeah, me too. You don't have a map up and you know where you're going. And I'm like, yeah, don't follow me. I'm lost too.
But no, we got there just fine. It's actually super easy to get to. And I've been there a ton of times before because we had, We have had Epic Guest Meetings there and Guest Meetings at Epic Creative means get Epics, and I'm going to use finger quotes, stuff together. So get Epic stuff together. And we've had them, they have a barn there, and we've had them downstairs at the barn, we've done scavenger hunts, we've done yard games, things like that, where It's
[: [: [: [:They've got awesome playground facilities. So that,
[: [:There are plenty of picnic tables all around the perimeter of the actual playground area.
[: [:Yes, they have real bathrooms. They There were plenty of families that were there with their friends and family So it was like, you know groups of families together that were hanging out while the kids were playing on the on the playground

[: [:Uh, another beer that we had was a retro gradients, which is a double IPA, and that was 8. 7 ABV. And. They also, we didn't try it. We had, they had electric sunset, which was a fruit and IPA. They had summer Mike, which was a, I think it's a limeade sour is what they call it.
[:Like there was quite a few choices and they had water too. And, you know, so
[: [:Unexpected. Like it wasn't advertised like, Oh, there's going to be a band there too. It was just like, come to the beer garden. We're kind of like, well, let's try it out and see what happens. And it was. I
[:I asked them between songs. Cause they were asking the crowd questions. So I didn't just like shout out, Hey,
[: [: [: [:They didn't have a band name.
[: [: [: [: [: [: [: [:So if you, uh, happen to know who they were, I think it was on Friday, the
[: [:We'll see. And, and speaking of that, there are two more beer gardens left for the season at Washington County. There's one more at Homestead Hollow on Friday, September 10th, and then one at Sandy Knoll Park in Washington County, which is in the. I think it's the Newberg area. It's either like Barton, Newberg, something like that.
That is at Sandy Knoll on Saturday, the 16th of October. So, and I'll put a link to the Washington County Beer Gardens in the show notes, but it was a really cool time. We had a lot of fun. Homestead Hollow's great. I don't, I thought we weren't gonna have enough material to talk about with this whole event, or this whole piece, just because we were having such a good time that I didn't.
