Kodiak Island Beer Adventure
Join us for a wild beer tasting adventure on Kodiak Island. Explore the unique flavors of local brews inspired by the island's rugged beauty. We spent a rainy foggy day tasting beers from the Kodiak Brewery and Still. It's just a short walk from the cruise port, and has a totally local feel to it. We had a few favorites - but there was one beer that topped the rest!

New subbie! ❤
Thanks so much for being here. Hope you enjoy our view of the world.
Æ bor i Trondheim❤
Fabulous city!
While we all appreciate and love seeing the animals. Folks, please be careful and keep a safe distance as not to disturb any animal. I seen several videos of people getting way too close. 🤔
That is obviously such good advice. I hope you caught the full video of our day where you'll get a much better sense of our distances. There was a point where two bears r chased each other and came close to a group of photographers. In this instance, as soon as we saw the bear, we stopped, gave it wide berth and allowed it to walk away from us.
Hi, Jonathan & Jennifer Just viewed your piece on Molde: Norway's Hidden Gem. We will be in port during a Princess Cruise on June 27, 2025. We would like to pretty much duplicate your trip with Erik, your taxi driver. Do you have a way that we can get in touch with Erik directly ? I did see a phone number for the Taxi Company on the photo that you took of the taxi, but would sure appreciate a direct method of contact with Erik such as email, cell number and/or WhatsApp.
We really want to thank you. Erik was superb and we wish we could give you better contact info. We will be back in Molde this summer and are trying to connect with him again. If we reach him, we'll be sure and get a more direct number or an e-mail and we'll add it to the description and we'll post it here. Have you watched our videos from Alesund? Knut was our driver there and he was fantastic. If you schedule ahead of time with him, he could probably do a similar trip. His contact info is in the description for both of our Alesund videos because we've worked with multiple times.
Thank you for the journey back…to remember this loving wonderful man. His impact on this world must be enormous. So grateful to have been in his presence.
Did you cry. I cry every time I watch this. I'm so grateful you took me to church.
I can see me watching this video when I want to remember this man. Thank you!!! ❤
❤❤💪
When the weather gets bad, we get to a brewery!!
cool a nice Island to visit to explore the beers my kind of place cheers *thumbs up👍Au💯full view always*
Yeah, we felt right at home. And that stout...it really was rapturous!!
Wow, what an awesome vibe at Kodiak Island Brewing! 🍻 I love how you captured the local feel of the place. The Rapture mocha stout sounds incredible! I appreciate your tips for finding the brewery! Kodiak looks like such a unique place.👌👍
We really love finding a place that feels local and speaks to the community. The brewery is putting out some pretty incredible beers - and the place just feels like fun. Definitely a cool town!
We love a good beer as well. I love a good dark beer and German beer types.
That stout was a total win. We both like dark beers, Jennifer loves a Hefeweizen and Jonathan is a Pilsner guy.
@@welltravelledlife Yes Hefeweizen is so nice when we were in Munich, we had some Hefeweizen beers from Pualaner and Franziskaner
@@Wyldfamilytravel Oh yeah, those are two of Jennifer's favorites!!
Very, very cool! Saw a couple of bears today, but they were much lazier and in an enclosure..
Seeing them in the wild living their lives is so different - and so cool. I was amazed at how much they were aware of us, but totally left us alone.
@@welltravelledlife Amazing :)
Incredible observations of grizzlies in the wild! Precious footage ✨ 👍
Thank you so much for your very kind comment. This is the "once in a lifetime" footage that we're so excited to share!!
Such a cool encounter!!!
The entire day was incredible. More action than we expected - and WAY closer than he expected!!!
@@welltravelledlife Nice! Although, after all that travel experience, it makes sense that you've got your bearings straight!
@@AirOnTheWater And there you are with the quips. You're too good at that!!
interesting watching the bears there we dont have any in the wild here *🌞have a cool weekend🔆👍like☑full view✅🥸Au🦘*
I love it when we can see wildlife up close in their natural environment. You guys don't have any bears at all, so these big guys are totally foreign. Jenn's always loved koalas, but they aren't really bears!
I love the bears! They're such big babies!
In some ways, it's a pretty simple life. Eat, sleep and scratch seems to be the norm! Love it when you leave comments here!
Great music choice!
There's a new video coming out this evening that is a compilation of lots of our bear footage. Jenn was having so much fun with the music!
Beautiful View clam video ❤❤
He was a tremendous man. His loss is profound.
0:09 That's not where #Thurso is. Thurso is north east, only about 20 miles west from #JohnOGroats.
East as compared to Glasgow, but west of John O'Groats. But it's definitely true that as visitors, we don't always catch on to how locals perceive and describe their location. We hope we didn't make any other big blunders!
looks a cool adventure and seeing the bears too *🦘Au🦘💯full view always📺thumbs up👍enjoy your week😎*
This one was for the books! The standoffs were so cool to watch. The chase got a little close for comfort - but no one panicked.
❤💪💪
This is probably our favorite video so far because it may have been our favorite experience so far!!
Thanks for staying life-time learners and sharing!
Our lives are so full of learning - and there's so much more to come. This was an absolutely exceptional experience. Not just because of what we saw, but just as you've noted, what we learned! This was a crash course in bear behavior for sure!!
Retired friends from Temple having the time of their life all over the world. This one from Alaska. Been in Scotland earlier this year too. They travel with their own drone too.
The drone has become a huge part of our journey. We are getting to see and show a different perspective which has been so cool. Jonathan is the total drone master!
❤❤
Thanks so much!
Nice tour. Thank you for sharing this great video, my friends!🥷🇯🇵
This stay really helped us see that we could live in a relatively small space and be perfectly happy. The village becomes our second living room.
Excellent video!
It's a great cottage in a darling town.
Zeebrugge is hours from stuff you want. I have gent excursion.
Ghent is lovely. You'll enjoy your time there.
@@welltravelledlife yes. As saw lot of video’s so I will. 30+ years cruses. Know some not perfect
Nothing's perfect but few cruises are terrible. We just got off the Regal Princess after a pretty rocky transatlantic crossing. But it was still a lovely time.
Absolutely loved this tour of the Garden Apartment, Jonathan and Jennifer! It looks like such a peaceful place to stay, especially with that private courtyard. The Croft restaurant next door sounds amazing too - breakfast with a view of the village sounds perfect. Burton on the Water looks like a charming little town! Thanks for sharing! 👌👍
We're so glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Well that's weird- my comment has disappeared. So watching again - because I need to refresh my memory 🤣! Another really gorgeous BnB. I recall that beautiful sunshine on the building. Loved the green tile backsplash. As usual you've added some lovely drone footage. The pets were so cute and added to the homely sphere. Looks like you had a great visit here. Thorough review as always- very helpful for possible guests wanting to find somewhere to lay their head at night. No need to go hungry here either. Have a great week. 👌 🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Oh Anita! This is definitely a really special location! The down, the region, and that apartment. Donna did a spectacular job outfitting it.
looks very nice there *🦘Au🦘💯full view always📺thumbs up👍😎*
This has been one of our favorite places to stay. Lots to do all around, and the apartment is just perfect for us!
Another great video 👍
This was definitely one of our favorite stays.
I agree with Billy ( @billyb5057 ) what a comfortable place to lay one's head after exploring this lovely landscape. You take me to the loveliest places. Most enjoyable watch- to the end. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Very nice video❤😊new sub
So great to see you here. Thanks for watching - and I hope you'll stay around and watch more.
Its penine pronounced pen-9
Appreciate the correct pronunciation.
Is rain not included in weather?
You got us there.
@@welltravelledlife the devil's pul pit in Scotland is quite good lots of other natural formation about that area as well. Just north of Glasgow.

@@keithgrainger8797 We love Scotland so much! I'll put it on our list for next year. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
nice video :) good editing and voice over
We really appreciate that you took the time to comment. And we totally appreciate the nod to the editing. Jennifer does all of that and has really learned a lot!!
@@welltravelledlife Kudos!
Beautiful place, with beautiful white people, keep it that way.
❤❤
Thanks so much for being here. Fun place!
Nice sharing. Have a lovely week 😊
England has so many great walks. Winchcombe is a really great place that connects a bunch of them.
nice well equipped cottage and a beautiful place to explore I see *thumbs up👍Au💯full view always*
Darling little home perfectly located in the heart of the village!
💪❤️
Thanks so much! Jenn really loved the antiques.
Can't thank you enough for sharing this day of yours. We are from Australia and we are going to the autumn equinox next year and had no idea what to expect. We were going to take a tour bus for the event, but looks like it's open for everyone so we could just make our way there and join in. Looks like the ceremony is inside the rocks - very special.
It really is a free for all on that morning. The monument will have regular opening hours that day, but the early morning you could park in the visitor center lot and walk over. If you're trying to be there by sunrise, allow enough time to park and walk the mile to the monument.
Just stunning. We had planned a visit to the Yorkshire Dales but ended up in France instead. The Dales and Yorkshire itself is still on the list. Fabulous heather- the views from above are stunning. Those stones/rocks are amazing. Fascinating content. Love this. I'll put it on my list of places to visit. Enjoy the rest of your week. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Anita, you would really enjoy the views and the walks here. We have just fallen in love with the Dales and will be back again next summer.
looks a great place to explore there plenty of photo oppotunities *🥸fully viewed🤖Au🦘☑thumbs up👍👍*
We were really struggling with the drone because the winds were so wild. But gosh it was fun and yes, just perfect photo ops.
Nice video, lovely place. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a great week 😊
Thanks so much. Hope your week is off to a good start. This is your kind of a place.
💪❤️
Thanks so much!
Hello my friends! Your video is a visual delight! Each shot truly captures its unique beauty. Keep inspiring us with your breathtaking photography! 📸🌄 Have a great new week Cheers
Too kind. But thank you! Photography was a lot of fun here - almost as much fun as just scrambling over the rocks.
The name alone makes me smile- Bakewell Tarts, I used to make them- over an dover! Love the areal view of the town...Great flying. Fabulous BnB. I can just imagine the rest and enjoyment just being there. The digs are gorgeous. I can imagine that engaging with them a treat was. Great review and very appealing to possible visitors here. Pleasant travels. 🍁🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Mark runs a cracking guest house. And the town is absolutely charming. I love that you make Bakewell tarts. How can you not want to visit a town that's become famous for its pastries?!?!
Helllo, I was going through your video, beautifully made, very informative... and I am going to Alesund in October end and after watching your video I am all the more excited... But As it's not a tourist season oct end, it's very difficult to find any tours that go to Trollstrigen pleatu , do you happen to know anyone who would tour us? Or should we just call a taxi like you did and negotiate? I checked so many websites but could not find any answers... Any help is appreciated thank youuu
I've heard that Trollstigen has been closed for repairs due to some rock slides. And I'd definitely worry about the weather in October. But, Knut's contact information is in the details of this video and you can reach out to him and he'll let you know if it's open or not. And if it isn't, he'll have good ideas about alternatives. Enjoy your time in that beautiful city!
sounds a nice guest house bit far for us to travel too though *thumbs up👍Au💯full view always😎have a cool week🤠*
Mark was such a delightful host. And those dogs! We loved getting our hands on pets again. We miss that part of our old life. Hope you're doing well and getting ready for the seasons to change.
@@welltravelledlife oh yes spring here now
❤💪
Thanks so much!
Hay guy's that was so so nice to see , made me smile so much . Thank you for your gracious review . brought back some lovely memories . Take care lots of love Mark
So glad you saw this! Big hugs to Bella and JJ. And you! Love your home and love you!
