The Sparks exBEERience

A couple of nights ago, Frank and I had the chance to have a beer with Colin, an old friend of his from highschool while he was in town on business.
He's been watching our adventures on Facebook and suggested that we start blogging about them.  So here we are on IPA day, heading to Descendants Brewery in Waterloo for an IPA and their new Strawberry Saison.

Frank, who goes by Sparky500 in the Geocaching community, is a big fan of Untappd.  So far, he's logged 2969 beers, with 2484 of those being unique. That means that since he installed the app, he has drank or at least tasted 2484 different beers.  I'm close in range to that, as well but having to log every beer that I drink seems like a lot of work!

While we wait for our brews, a bit of background info on us -
Frank and I have been together for 13 years, married for 11. Even though we'd said no gifts, someone gave us an LCBO gift card for our wedding and we decided to spend it on a whole bunch of different beers that we'd never tried before.  That's where it all began.  A few years later, our buddy Scott introduced us to Untappd, and there has been no looking back!

The other thing that we do a lot of is Geocaching, and we combine these 2 passions as often as possible.

Geocaching is a global treasure hunt. People *(Geocachers) hide containers (Geocaches), and then post the coordinates online for other people (Geocachers) to find. For more info, see www.geocaching.com, or reach out to us and we'll help you to get started.  Here's a link to one of our Geocaching days with our good friend LondonWesty from Cache Canada!

In true Sparks style, tonight also includes a stop at B@THEMUSEUM for a Thai Ginger Cider from KW Craft Cider and a Peachy Keen Milkshake IPA from Lake of Bays to earn the IPA Day Untappd badge .

Cheers, and Happy Caching!
