They <em>prefer<\/em> the light beers&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>2. They have never tried craft brews&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>3. They work for the big guys and thus should drink their beers&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>4. For them, boating is like camping and drinking light beers is roughing it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>5. Did they need to save money on their beer because the boat was so pricey&#8230;haha<\/p>\n<p>6. They never even thought about it&#8230;just went to the store and bought what they usually buy&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The next thoughts that flooded my mind were &#8220;what beers did\u00a0I drink before\u00a0I found craft brews?&#8221;\u00a0 What beers indeed.\u00a0 And, &#8220;would you ever turn down a ice cold &#8220;fizzy&#8221; brew on a hot day?&#8221; Would I indeed.\u00a0 And &#8220;If I owned a yacht what tasty beverages would I keep on board? hmmmm<\/p>\n<p>My answer(s)? I want to keep my mind open to all beers.\u00a0 Beer education is a passion of mine and I&#8217;m going to just continue to enjoy craft beer and spread the good word whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers to ALL the beer drinkers out there&#8230;WHATEVER\u00a0brewery may be your favorite!!!<\/p>\n<p>PEACE,<\/p>\n<p>Beergirl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, Sean and I ventured down to Newburyport&#8217;s annual\u00a0Yankee Homecoming .\u00a0 We did the typical walk around town, allowing our noses to waft in the smells of fried food and enjoying \u00a0the hustle and bustle of people, vendors and local music.
