Gainesville Entry #1 - Swamphead Brewery



Hi all! I have some catching up to do for the past few days, so I will break this up into a few entries. We spent the last 2 days in beautiful Gainesville, Florida having a great time.  The initial plan was to stay one night (camping in the Wal-Mart parking lot with a bunch of other RV's), but there was so much to do, and the weather was so gorgeous that we stayed a second night and didn't head out of Gainesville until after lunch today (Easter Sunday). Last night, after returning from our all day bike excursion - which I will detail later in a separate post - we walked over to Swamp Head Brewery which, it turned out, was just a quick 1.2 mile walk from where we'd parked the van.  Had a great time from 6-7:30 in their tap room sampling a variety of great beers and talking to one the brewers about the brewing operation. Turns out he has a connection to Rhode Island (Smithfield), so we also talked some RI Brewery news and about the Providence beer scene as well.  Had a great time and didn't have to be concerned about driving as we were on foot. A quick mile and we were back at the van for the night! Here are some photos.
