The first part of today’s walking portion of the adventure was simply a short walk directly across the street.

The walls are adorned with cool murals, and there’s a bank of pinball machines in one corner.

One beer I had been looking forward to was no longer available, but I enjoyed their Behind the Waterfall (imperial porter) and I Can’t Stand the Rain (which proved fitting as it started raining when I left here and I had to get my umbrella out).

Oops: That second beer wasn’t I Can’t Stand The Rain, because it turns out that’s an IPA and most definitely not near-black in color. What did I have, then? Scrolling back through what other people were checking in around that time, it appears my second beer was most likely One Below All (imperial stout).

I would like to have visited MetroNOME Brewery next, as this was as close to it as I would get today, but it didn’t open until 3pm and that was still too far away. So instead of walking southeast I headed off in a southwest direction in a chilly light rain.
