Life is good! The month of May has 5 Tuesdays, so we had 3 Retired Guys Beer Afternoons. On this Beer Day we traveled back to a previously visited location, but now under new ownership with a new name, Copper Hill Public House. The pub, on the Crossgates Golf Course, has a new and fresh look complete with, you guessed it, a copper top bar.
With the weather being very summer like we asked to be seated on the patio overlooking the golf course and were completely accommodated when we requested a table in the shade. Even though the table was at the farthest point from the main dining area, the staff was very cheerful and eager to please. Our server was a completely delightful young lady named Lyndsie (that is the correct spelling) who was very attentive without being overbearing and spot-on when delivering more beer just as we finished our first. At her recommendation, Garry and I both ordered the lunch special. It was a turkey sandwich with bacon, tomato and lettuce served with a pickle and house chips. I never met a sandwich containing bacon that I didn't like and this was no exception. Good call Lyndsie!
All in all, this was a very enjoyable beer afternoon that happened earlier in the day than other beer days because of a Relay commitment on my part that warranted me being completely sober. We again enjoyed beer and friendship and solved the world's problems. You may thank us later.
One final note; as we were leaving I had the privilege to speak with another of the very capable staff members who recognized me as we entered. Tammie, who I haven't seen for a couple of years, but is friends with two of my children, commented to one of her co-workers as we entered, "It must be Retired Guys Beer Day". We must be kind of, sort of celebrities!
Thank you to Copper Hill for an enjoyable Beer afternoon and a special "Thank You" to Lyndsie and Tammie.
