The start of summer

A short post to head into Memorial Day Weekend

Folks, we made it We made it through a harsh winter and an up-and-down (but mostly positive!) spring, to the start of summer. Does it feel good? Does it feel great? Yes, yes it sure does, nearly as great as it’s going to feel to sip on a cold beer at Threes Brewing on Governors Island (more on them in a second!). We’re keeping it brief to kick off the long weekend in my music-menswear-craft beer newsletter today, as I tend to do from time to time.

You can head here to read Tuesday’s post about the new Modest Mouse single, new Converse sneakers and a craft beer discount. And my regular style blog (The Style Guide — tell all your friends!) has a list of more than a dozen of the best Memorial Day sales, including plenty of favorite brands offering up stellar deals.

As I write, I’m headed back from an incredible trip North to Connecticut, where I spent a night at Mohegan Sun and checked out the new TAO Mohegan Sun Bistro and Restaurant on behalf of Maxim. What an incredible evening! I can’t recommend it enough. My review of the space and the experience is coming soon. For now, you should check out my guide to the best Memorial Day sales over on my blog, and you should also stock up on the best beer for the long weekend from Threes Brewing. Use the code BEAU10 to get 10 percent off your order of $50 or more, then revel in the fact that your beer fridge is very well-stocked to start summer.

You can (and should!) follow me on Instagram to keep up with some long weekend fun (and a wee bit of writing, of course, for sites like TheManual.com and more). A word to the wise: Keep an eye out early next month for a byline from yours truly at AskMen.com, and I’ll have a very special story running next Tuesday on InsideHook.com about one of my favorite bands — a band you know if you’ve read this newsletter! I won’t spoil it in the meantime, though. For now, I’m looking ahead to the long weekend and typing away as fast as I can to get some work wrapped up early.

Cheers, thanks for reading and subscribing, and be sure to tell all your friends!
