Countdown Day 17: The Beer Garden!

When we ask people about their favorite aspects of Cheverly Day, a few things pop up over and over. One of those things is today's focus: the Beer Garden.

Hosted by the St. Ambrose Catholic Church Men's Club, the Beer Garden is a longstanding tradition that only seems to improve with age. The beer truck -- full of ice cold beer -- anchors a corner of the lower parking lot cordoned off with orange plastic fencing. The long tables are the site of many conversations with groups of friends and neighbors catching up throughout the day, and a favorite vantage point for the fireworks at night. In addition to beer, the Beer Garden offers root beer for the kids and free peanuts...we've enjoyed many hours cracking peanut shells and catching up with people we somehow only manage to see once a year at, you guessed it, the Beer Garden.

Thank you to the St. Ambrose Men's Club for their ongoing contribution to the rich fabric of Cheverly Day!
