Happy 21st Birthday, Max's!

I recently received this invitation from Max's Taphouse - one of my favorite places to have cask ale, and one of favorite places to drink beers that I've never had before.

A 21^st birthday is an important milestone in life. It marks the coming of age, the entrance to adulthood. Now you can drive and vote; you can be married in most civilized states and you’ll hang for your offenses. But most importantly, it allows you to DRINK LEGALLY! Come celebrate the coming of age of Max’s Taphouse, serving the largest selection of beer on the East Coast for Twenty One Years. You are cordially invited to the Max’s Taphouse birthday party.

You must be over 21 to attend.

Max’s Taphouse on Broadway
21^st Anniversary Party
Monday, May 7^th, 2007
5:00 pm until close
RSVP 410-675-MAXS (6297) or gf@maxs.com

And here's how I responded:

Gail, Ron, Casey, Bob, and everyone,

21 years ... wow! I remember going for music and for Martini nights way back when. Max's remains, even in my travels, a favorite multi-tap pub.

Monday, I'll be selling Hugh's beers in North Carolina, so I won't be able to celebrate with you. But I'll do so in spirit. Congratulations and continued (21 more!) years of success.
