#PlanAhead | March 19-23, 2018

Fresh from a weekend getaway in Charleston where I was introduced to the sweet peppers beer at Edmund’s Oast, I am pumped for the tacos + pepper beer pairing at The Whig on Tuesday. There are also a ton of networking events that look neat this week – most of them benefiting a cause, which sweetens the deal. I’ll get my business cards ready. See you out there.
