Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day BBQ Grilling

Happy Labor Day! Did you know that the holiday originated in 1882 by the Central Labor Union of New York City? It didn’t become a federal holiday until 1894. It’s also the symbolic end of summer, which means all the beer taps change their seasonal Sam Adams brews from Summer Ale to Oktoberfest (though we went to Champps yesterday and they jumped the gun by a day). I am a fan of that Summer Ale (and all wheat beers really).

Enjoy the day off everyone!
