Black Friday Weekend Trip Day 2 - The Beer Thrillers
"My first stop for the day took me just outside of Wheeling, West Virginia for a beautiful little hiking trail as part of the Oglebay Park. There I hiked the Driehorst Trail, as well as walked around the Falls Vista trail, the junction, and around the education center. Absolutely beautiful area and it looked like there was still so much more to see and do there especially for families with children."
"My first brewery stop of the day was inside Wheeling, WV itself. In a quaint little area filled with antique markets and all kinds of things was a spot called Brewkeepers. People were watching the game on the TV at the bar and had it filled up, so I grabbed a Rauchbier - Scut Farkas - and sat in the back corner and read."
"On my way to get into Ohio, I crossed off Wheeling Island. Which is pretty much like what City Island is to Harrisburg. And with a casino there, I had to stop. As a former table games dealers any time I see a new casino, I always have to poke my nose in there and just take a look around. While inside I enjoyed an IPA by Big Timer. (And yes, thats the beer name - IPA.)"
Day two began near Washington, PA with a hike at Oglebay Park on the Driehorst Trail. The hike included walking the Falls Vista trail, the junction, and around the education center, with scenic views and family-friendly options. The route continued into Wheeling, WV where a stop at Brewkeepers offered a Rauchbier called Scut Farkas while watching the game. A visit to Wheeling Island Casino and Racetrack allowed for exploration and an IPA by Big Timer. Crossing into Ohio led to Belmont Brewerks in Martins Ferry for an Italian Sausage Sandwich and Belmont Stout. The day ended with a drive toward Hightower Brewing Company.
