Put this on your Wednesday to-do list

The mercury is supposed to rise past 80 tomorrow. After enduring weeks of crummy “summer” weather, I say we’ve earned a sunshiny afternoon by the river. With a beer.

Last Saturday (by some miraculous twist of fate the sun was shining then, too) afternoon a bunch of us gathered ‘round cold pitchers of Northern Light’s Summer Wheat on the brewery’s sprawling, grassy patio.



The river was rolling high, a breeze was blowing and the brews were flowing. Pretty much the most perfect summer afternoon so far this year. OK, so technically summer didn’t even begin until Monday, but as far as I’m concerned, summer should enjoy a soft opening on Memorial Day and pick up speed until dying a quiet death on Halloween.

So, as I was saying … last Saturday at Northern Lights was pretty much the best summer afternoon so far this year. And that’s saying something. See if you can top it. Tomorrow. I dare you. Cheers.
