Memorial Day weekend is a time of remembrance, giving thanks, and toasting to not only the start of the summer season, but toasting to the men and women who served our country. For many, including most of us at the Box, we will welcome the summer sun this weekend with our loved ones nearby and our favorite cold one in hand to toast to those men and women. To anyone else this weekend, whether you’re mowing the lawn, doing some gardening, or just enjoying yourself outdoors, you’ll probably want to quench your thirst with one of your favorite beverages.
