We attended a dual retirement party recently. A husband and wife were calling it quits at the same time and their kids threw them a celebration.
At a brewery.
.
.
It was like old home week for my husband as he had worked with M. at the FAA.
.
.
Yes, my guy is a 22 year Marine and the recent retiree did 20 years in the Navy…
.
.
So deep conversations ensued.
.
.
But my guy did that pretty much all afternoon.
.
.
And into the evening.
.
.
I’d never been to retirement party at a brewery before but it was laid back and quite fun.
.
.
No boring speeches. No power point presentations of careers. No stuffy presentations of plaques or watches.
.
.
Just friends, family and co workers getting together for a good time.
We went home with a wood fired pizza because they were floating in it.
.
.
And stayed well after the official end time.
But the best part about a brewery retirement party?
.
.
Wrist bands for unlimited free beer for every guest.

I’m going to a retirement party for a former coworker this week, and I am already a little jealous. It won’t be this good.

The nicest thing was their kids planned and paid for the whole thing.

That’s a great send-off to the next chapter of life. The ones I have attended remained work-related even though the point was no more work…

Retirement at a brewery? Ok. Cupcake and I need to sit down with our kids and adjust their thinking just a bit!

Craft beer and wood fired pizza. I highly recommend them as party favors.

That sure looks like a great party, I mean how could it not be, it’s a retirement party!! What a perfect way for their kids to celebrate their parents hard work. The hubs look very happy!

That is cute. Love the poster. So sweet they retired at the same time. They will go through work withdrawals and develop hobbies simultaneously!

One of the wife’s coworkers made the poster. They’re teachers…

Congratulations to the retirees! Both of them are calling it quits (much deserved, I’m sure!) at the same time….do you think they’ll drive each other crazy?
Looks like a fun time for all.

Sadly the wife’s mother is dying and she has to move to Florida temporarily to care for her and the father. They won’t be enjoying retirement for a while…

I’m sorry to hear that—-the cost of living a long life is we will all need care.

Love the card. All retirement parties should be held in breweries! Scratch that: all parties should be held in breweries.

It’s hard to hold a bad party when all the beer is free…
