Harpoon ipa in pints6/25/2023 ![]() My second piece of advice (but also quite sound) is try drinking variety. My first piece of advice is moderation (and it’s sound advice indeed). I have been selling and drinking beer for many years and I do feel at least slightly qualified to offer some bit of beer drinking advice. Whether you are enjoying a frosty beverage after a hard day’s work, or while watching a sporting event with friends, or even pairing a pint with tonight’s dinner, beer is a beverage that is enjoyable in many different social settings. Jumping ahead in time, there are now more than 1700 breweries in this country and this is certainly testament to the fact that so many people enjoy the beverage just as I do. (They were smart not waiting for the brewery to be built.) Actually this was not even the beginning for beer on this continent as beer had been brewed here long before this period in time by Native Americans. ![]() (They must have been quite thirsty by then!) In 1609 there was a massive and frantic job search in London for brewers for the new Virginia Colony and in 1632 the first brewery was built (are you kidding me, it took until 1632?) in New Amsterdam (NYC). ![]() It was way back in 1587 (I assure you I was not there) that colonists first brewed beer here and then 20 years later the first shipment of beer arrived here from England. I guess that’s not so surprising beer, after all, has been around for quite some time and I’m pretty certain it will be around for quite some time going forward. I have enjoyed the adult alcoholic beverage we call beer ever since. How is your memory? Mine’s really pretty good… I still remember the special birthday oh so long ago, the one that brought along with it a rite of passage that is legal age.
