Happy New Year you guys! Hope you all had a fantastic start to the new year. We're headed back home after a wonderful road trip. What a fab 2 weeks it's been! We revisited the little corners of Deutschland that was once home and explored new lands in Austria and Italy. While we feel bad that our holiday has come to an end, we can't wait to get back to Dublin! #misstheirish Hope you all have a great new year filled with lots of love, fun and adventures! 🍻
After days of enjoying the great Tuscan wines of #italy we finally get back to basics; exploring the #italiancraftbeer scene. 2 hours and 9 different craft beers down we finally hit the sweet spot with Natale di M... (yep that's the name; appropriately named Mmm...) an #imperialstout from @junglejuicebrewing - rich notes of coffee and chocolate - a beautiful creamy stout brewed specially for the Christmas season. If you are in Rome, @openbaladinroma is a great spot to visit to taste some of Italy's craft beers.
Although we spent three blissful days in Tuscany, saying goodbye wasn't easy.. The pristine beauty of this place is just unforgettable. The vineyards and rolling hills are strikingly beautiful, even in winter. And the wine from this region evokes the same sense of wonder. Lots of delicious Tuscan wine was drunk over some great conversations. #goodtimeswithfamily #tuscandiaries
Innsbruck is an incredible winter wonderland! The city is at the foothills of the #tyroleanalps and at every little turn in the street you find yourself staring at gorgeous alpine beauties. This morning we rode up to the #nordkette known as the jewel of the alps. At a height of over 7400 feet, the views of the Nordkette alpine range are simply staggering! Innsbruck deserves more than a quick stopover and we can't wait to get back here someday soon.
The Austrians continue to impress us with their understated excellence in beer. They've been way too modest about their craft scene. We did a quick stop at @tribaun in Innsbruck - a #craftbeerbar by one of Austria's top craft breweries #Bierol Lots of great local and international brews on tap (took a few back to keep us company on our upcoming travel thru Italy). We hope to come back someday to explore more of the craft beer culture in this beautiful alpine city. #ourhoppytravels #austria
Winter scenes in the Alps can never get boring! Despite a slightly cloudy day, we were fortunate to get some spectacular alpine views as we drove across the German Austrian border. The alpine views especially en route from #garmischpartenkirchen to #innsbruck are breathtaking! Even random phone clicks from the car in such scenery can turn out to be picture-perfect!
