Hey hey, you might not know it, but IT’S THE WEEKEND (almost, I mean I guess it depends).
For your Friday (TOMORROW), plan ahead and go get some of Tröegs new Perpetual Beer Cheese (find it at Tröegs, Giant, or Caputo Brothers Creamery). Then grab your fave beer, then logon to our Virtual Happy Hour at 5 p.m. (Friday) to hear from Tröegs and Caputo Brothers and Pennsylvania’s own Madam Fromage to taste and enjoy the cheese. Oh, I’ll be moderating! Mostly eating cheese and drinking beer, tho.
Otherwise weekend includes: garden + plant things + burgers on the grill. THAT’S IT! Ya know, besides laundry, cooking, cleaning, work, and toddler wrangling. CHEERS!
