Had a fun time barhopping with some friends yesterday, a belated celebration of my wife’s birthday. It’s also the first (and much needed) “out with friends” time I’ve gotten since my dad died.

Our first stop was The Perch, a fun #brewery that doubles as an exotic bird rescue. Our second stop, The Sleepy Whale, is one of our favorite taprooms. We rounded out the day with stops at QuartHaus and Pedal Haus Brewing. #beersofmastodon #chandler #arizona
