After a Farmhouse Saison and Maiboch at Freshcraft, we stopped at the Wynkoop Brewing Company for fried chicken and the big winners: Cowtown Milk Stout and Chile Beer. Hellooooo, Denver!
The day after we returned from Germany, I headed to Minneapolis for Confab—a few days of cake and content strategy, karaoke and cocktails. In mid May, I went to Dallas, then met up with Mike in Denver.
While Margot was at the IA Konferenz, I road tripped out to Wolfsburg and visited the Volkswagen Autostadt museum and exhibition complex. The highlight was the two car storage towers, which operated like car vending machines. Awesome!

This statue, in Maastricht, is in memory of the man who invented the gaslight.

Maastricht was home to an incredible cathedral that’s no less enlightening in its present form: a bookstore. The former Dominican church, built in 1294, shelves its wares beneath soaring stone vaults and 14th century frescoes.
