1. Young women drinking canned cocktails. The brewery had an extensive list of locally-crafted beers and ciders, too. Why not choose something that is the establishment’s specialty?

2. The fact that canned cocktails even exist. Seriously. Who came up with this? The very premise of “cocktail,” to me, means that the libation is lovingly mixed and served up almost immediately, and not created in a factory and placed in an aluminum cylinder and consumed weeks later. Shudder.

3. The busload of 20-somethings that arrived just as Husband and I finished our meal and first round of beers. I applaud the utilization of a Designated Driver, and I am pleased this group chose to patronize a small business, but I am quite sure most of these young people were not using their “inside voices” to chat each other up. The noise level made it exceedingly difficult for Husband and me to read trivia questions to each other. Humph. It’s days like today that make the divide between Boomers and Millennials all the wider.
