Sunday we celebrated a good friends birthday down the shore. The plan was the meet up with everyone at Asbury Ale House. Having been there before I knew that it would be a great time with new and old friends. I started and ended the night with Purple Haze which is similar to Blue Moon; however has a Raspberry undertone.( Purple Haze- A crisp American-style wheat beer sweetened with raspberries for a delicious fruity profile.)
They have 50 + Draft Beers that rotate monthly. To be part of the Draft Club you try all 52 beers on tap and receive a hoodie + your photo on the wall. We learned from the Birthday girl about the VIP Membership and if you are a local Beer lover on the Jersey Shore I suggest you add your name to the waiting list ASAP. Here is more information: "With a $35 membership you will receive your own personal 23 oz beer mug that will be stored in the locker of your choice. With that mug you will get 23 oz of beer for the price of 16oz! But wait it gets better, on your birthday we will pay for your draft beers all day and night! you better hurry, the lockers are filling up!"

It was a wonderful afternoon spent with friends. We reminisced about Elementary School and growing up and talked about what the future holds for us. We don't get to see each other often but when we are reunited it's like nothing changed. The conversations pick up from where they left off.
After a few hours celebrating in Asbury it was off the Belmar to catch up with another friend at
9th Ave Pier. Having never been their before I was excited to see what all the hype was about and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint one bit. With a spectacular view and great live band we enjoyed the sunset with some more beers and delicious
Coconut Shrimp and
Bavarian Pretzel Sticks. The Jalapeno Jelly that comes with the shrimp was out of this world. Not too spicy, just the right amount! You can drive, walk, bike, or even take your boat. They have their own boat slips for customers. Check out these views from our table.
Such a fun weekend with great friends. These past few months have been stressful, filled with anxiety, and a lot of "hiding" but I am so grateful for these wonderful friends in my life.
XoXo,
Tracy
