Touring food factories can be a hit or miss venture. Some times you get a really hands on tour that gets you up close and personal to the action which can be pretty fun. Other times you’re stuck sitting in a room watching animatronic dolls tell you a companies history circa 1982.

Long before craft brewing was a national trend, the folks behind the Church Brew Works in Pittsburgh, PA had a fantastic vision. They built a craft brewery inside a fully restored Roman Catholic Church. The Church Brew Works isn’t some gimmick though, over the years they’ve become a Pittsburgh staple while achieving the holy trinity of restaurants: Fantastic food, great drinks in a unique and beautiful location. Plus, they brew beer on an altar!
The concept of conservation and protecting Mother Nature is rather slow moving in some parts of the world.

Montana. Big Sky Country. A place where the landscapes seem as endless as a child’s imagination, and their beauty goes far beyond what mere words can describe. Tucked away in the mountainous Western portion of this vast state, is The Ranch at Rock Creek. It’s a luxury vacation destination that is making it possible to enjoy the beauty and solitude of Montana in the heart of winter. I took one look at this place and I only had one question, where do I sign up?
