255 Strong

Where did those mysterious 255 VIP tickets come from, you ask?

Well, when we decided to dive headfirst into the world of Moonlyte Brewing Co, making all those wild dreams and half-baked ideas a reality, we thought, "Hey, why not throw a VIP party?" A special night to toast those brave souls eager to be the first to sip in our taproom wonderland.

Now, why 255? That's the number of breweries from which we had snagged stickers by then. Yes, stickers! Because who doesn't love a good sticker collection?

We've already regaled you with tales of how our sticker obsession began, so let's take a whirlwind tour through our sticky adventures.

Warning: They might not be in perfect order. Sometimes, I'd grab a sticker and forget to slap it into the "My Brewery Sticker Book" right away. Oops!

Our sticker saga began at Moose Lake Brewery, but alas, I didn't nab a sticker that night. My genius idea for a sticker book hadn't struck yet, and I was blissfully unaware of my impending sticker addiction.

So, the first sticker in Book #1?

Florida Keys Brewing Co. in sunny Islamorada, Florida.

We zipped down to the Keys while in Miami for some personal development training. You know, to develop our personalities and whatnot.

That's also where Chyna, our rescue pup, got her first whiff of brewery life on the road. We drove all the way from Minnesota to Florida, and she was a real champ—just give her a bed, and she'll people-watch for hours. She might not be a fan of beer's aroma or taste, but she sure loves the scenery.

#1 "The Florida Keys Brewery" is like a rainbow exploded, not far off the main road to the Keys.

Small and cozy, but the colors made it pop like a cheerful piñata.

As always, we sampled a flight before committing to a full pint. You know, careful decision-making.

Apparently, I didn't have my trusty book with me because I logged absolutely nothing about our experience or the beers we tried.

Just the date and my precious sticker.

But I can share a few pictures of our experience.

So this was our adventure for the sticker that is in the 1st book and logged as #1
