"So close, yet so far away."

I usually just ask and let her say no. Then when it comes to the next trip, I try to go my way. Normally shell just grab a mixed drink or Guinness/Miller Lite while I go at it. If were going somewhere and i really wanna hit up a brewery, then Ill press it a bit. If anything Ill try the, "itll be for like 45 mins to an hour and i wont bring it up again." Usually works because then I dont get all doom and gloom, and she deals with it for an hour while i deal with it for the rest of the trip. I stopped asking for tours and long excursions.

Right now, shes in OH and im in NC. So that means Im at whatever brewery I can afford to be at. She is in OH going out with her friends ordering ML and her fruity mixed drinks. works out that way.
