Road trip to Saint John with Big Axe! 🪓🍻✨
From hitting the road, to hotel views, to an incredible night at Sip & Savour in support of the Rocmaura Foundation — what a night! 🥂❤️

So many great people, amazing local vendors, and plenty of Big Axe poured along the way. 🍺

Safe to say… I LOVE getting to take Big Axe on the road. 🪓🚗💨
