Last night, we drank beer to support a good cause. No, really we did!
Last night was the second annual Hoptimism event benefiting Alzheimer sponsored by TBC and Alzheimer’s Community Care.
Alzheimer’s Community Care is a Florida-based 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization. Alzheimer’s Community Care provides specialized care to Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders patients, and also supports the needs of caregivers. The organization proudly serves Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties.
Our neighbor works for Alzheimer’s Community and we’ve talked about his job a few times. Check out their History and Mission page to learn more.
For $25 each we received one beer, hors d’oeurves, meet and greet with the brewmasters, and a tour of the brewery. We also received awesome name tags!
The food was well worth $25! ChefCorp provided all the food for the night. You may remember them. We were paired up for the Els for Autism event a few months ago. Chef Carlino provided all the food for the event last night. ChefCorp provides all the food for Alzheimer’s Community Care. We learned last night, Alzheimer’s patients can stop eating and Chef Carlino works to provided healthy delicious meals.
Cooking in the Brewery!
The Shrimp and Crab Roll were hands down the best thing I’ve had all week. Huck agreed.
Matt and Fran provided tours of the brewery and talked about the brewing process.
Next Thursday, the guys are taking the Barley Dolls on a brewery tour, too. {Have I mentioned how nervous/excided I am for our meeting one week from today? I think we are going to have a great turnout!}
I did make a new friend last night. I would like to introduce you to Chris…
He looks a lot like Huck doesn’t he? I posted this picture on Facebook with a caption “Speed Date with Chris. Don’t tell Huck!” Huck’s family is the only ones that call him ‘Chris’. I’m not sure if I shared this story, but for some reason, I wrote Christopher on our wedding invitations. I have no idea why, but my Grandmother called my Mom and asked who Chris was and what happen to Huck! Oh and Huck introduced himself to my other Grandmother when we first started dating and he said his name was ‘Chris’. She leaned over to me and said “I thought you’re boyfriend was Huck. Who is this?”
We mingled for a little while before calling it a night.
It was a great night for a great cause. TBC provided the Beer, ChefCorp donated the food, and all the money raised went to ACC. Thank you, Rob, for inviting us. We will be back next year for sure!

I think it’s wonderful that all the money but seventy cents of the twenty five went for the hoptimism. I wish all fundraising would go to the ones that needed it. I know they had to pay for the food and beer but great jester. Thanks for sharing, and glad you both had a good time.
Actually, all the food and beer was donated. I think they did a raffle too!
