Drink Local Think Global.

Nothing like having a productive Friday...and ending it with a bang. I haven't had the chance to go to the Blue Point Brewery in over a year. I miss that place. Me and a few friends discovered it during my senior year of College. Everyone worked out their schedules to make sure they would have a break or be done with classes on Fridays by 3pm. We would all go and enjoy doing sample flights of all the beers. We'd all laugh and tell jokes and completely get lost in the moment. It became tradition. Or maybe even a religion. Friday was brewery day. Yesterday was Friday. I decided to make it brewery day. rounded up a few people whoever was around and available and met them out there. It was all kind of sporadic and last minute. Sometimes things work out like that The scene has changed there a bit. It has gotten bigger They pour pints now and the place packs out. It was super crowded at one point. When we used to go it would literally be just the 6 of us. But the vibe was awesome though. A lot of great people and fantastic beer. As everyone arrived we carved out a corner for ourselves caught up on the ongoings in our lives shared stories told jokes... mostly at my expense...it was Just awesome. We had quite the crowd. The banker came with his lady, an environmentalist, an oenophile who owns her own boutique wine shop came with some friends and we were even joined by the dynamic Floral duo.I ended up back in town and met up with my attorney. No business to discuss. The plan was to do the local scene. We were shortly joined by the PhD Grad and the 3 of us made our rounds, said our hellos to quite a few people. Its been a while since I did the local pass through town. I will have to say that consuming alcohol for 12 hours straight in one day does not exactly do your body good. I am feeling it for sure. Lucky me I can function just fine. Its Saturday which means I have the long shift at GRAM today. Ill be there till close, and then who knows? Maybe Brooklyn tonight? Ill see what happens. For now just gonna enjoy the day, taste people on some fantastic wines and make killer wine suggestions to compliment their evening and weekend plans. Cheers
