crystalspin Posted August 18, 2019 #2  Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hi Von! We had lunch in Talkeetna at the Brewery, in 2009. It was tasty!  My given middle name is Yvonne after my paternal aunt, a dear lady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Von & John Posted August 25, 2019 Author #3  Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) @crystalspin -- You would not believe how Denali Brewery has expanded in the past 10 years!!! The original brewing & Tasting Room have relocated from Downtown to the Spur Road... In addition - they have added Denali Spirits: Vodka, Gin, Whiskey & last year they partnered w/ Kaladi Bros Coffee (KBC) & created a Coffee Whiskey. The Coffee Whiskey is pretty amazing. Plus they've created Alaska Cider Works & Alaska Meadery.  They just keep growing & growing...  The original Tasting room/Brewing Area & Twister Creek Restaurant have combined for a larger restaurant w/ a massive deck & renamed Denali Brew Pub.  Cheers -- Von Edited August 25, 2019 by Von & John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug R. Posted September 21, 2019 #12 Â Share Posted September 21, 2019 I wish that I knew what I know now when I was just a youngster of 55. When I was that age I referred to anyone (myself included) up to the age of 65 as "Apprentice Senior Citizens". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She claimed her longevity was due to eating & drinking whatever she liked 𤣠She was my Mother's First Grade Teacher... Of Course she also practiced everything in Moderation...

It's great when good things grow. Do not know if we will get to travel inland again; we have another 2-wk roundtrip out of Los Angeles planned for next June on Princess. We *and* our family members will not have to fly, although they will have to drive a total of 12 hours (to our house) and then back. But they can do it as long ahead of time as they like, to have time to recover! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Von & John Posted October 14, 2019 Author #22  Share Posted October 14, 2019 That sounds like a fantastic trip. Only once have I cruised w/ family...  Jan 2001 3 of my sisters & I took Mom on a cruise, Celebrity Century.   In addition, one sister brought 10 mos old son.  It was an amazing trip, filled w/ memories.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
