Day 4: Shopping & Orlando Brewery

Tuesday was another cloudy day with rain in the forecast, so off to the outlets we went!  Greg is quite the shopper if you didn’t know.  Greg bought 3 pairs of jeans, 1 from Guess at $24, 1 from Gap for $11 and 1 from Banana Republic for $35 (big spender) all fitting him very well.  You’re probably asking yourself who could possibly need 3 pairs of jeans at one time, but Greg does wear jeans every day to work, so it is justified.  Greg also tends to buy multiples of the same items if he feels it is a good deal.  For example, Greg has 5 pairs of work out shorts exactly the same, 1 for every day of the week.  Likewise, Greg bought 2 pairs of Nike compression shirts that were $10.

To sum up our shopping purchases, here is the list below:

Greg: (3) jeans, (2) compression shirts, soccer cleats, (2) polo shirts, running gloves, thin wallet, sunglasses, and a tri-pod chair that you will have to ask Greg about sometime.  It looks like it could hold a 3 year old, not a 165 pound man.  I was able to get him to sit on it for a photo.  He says we would like it for when he travels.  It was $3.  Let’s see how long it lasts… Total = $175

Shayna: black shorts, running shorts, black heels, dress, oil mister for cooking, sunglasses… Total = $115

The chair is smaller than Chase...

One of the items that I had written down to do was go on a tour of an organic brewery simply called, Orlando Brewery.  The tour wasn’t all that great.  If you have been through a tour before, then it is pretty much the same process.  The tour was more preachy than anything about being organic, and “we are what we drink”, and saying they don’t want to be drinking toxins that are used in pesticides.  Regardless of what they believe, they had some of the best tasting beers that Greg and I had in a long time. 

We got a sampler platter and tried 8 different brews.

The beer is kept in a refrigerator at 44 degrees, and when poured in a glass at room temperature, it warms to 49 degrees where it tastes best.  We ordered a beer before we went on the tour, and I did comment that I thought it was a little warm; however, after the tour, I learned this was intentional and unlike most beers, this one tastes good at warmer temperatures.  They only sell locally, but Greg has already emailed them trying to see how he can get ahold of more of their beer.
