Much to his chagrin no doubt, I have known Steve Ashton for the better part of most of our lives. We not only attended W-H together (although I only began my matriculation there in 5th grade whereas Steve was a lifer) but we also both attended the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Truthfully, we have not run into one another very often in the thirty-plus years or so since we graduated CU. Sadly for him, his luck in that regard may have run out.
Steve and his wife, Donna, are the proud owners and proprietors of Ashton Brewing Company, a craft brewery whose doors open tomorrow at 600 Lincoln Boulevard in Middlesex, New Jersey. Given the current state of the world (yes, COVID-19, it is you to whom I am speaking), the public will not be able to enjoy the ambiance of Ashton Brewing Company's beautiful taproom just yet (take my word for it, I have seen numerous photos and the joint is gorgeous), but we shall be able to place orders for pick-up so that we can enjoy one of the half-dozen exquisitely-crafted beers in our very own "at-home shelter".
I am already looking forward to enjoying one (or more than one) with my dinner tomorrow night. I wish Steve and Donna nothing but luck in this venture. Their presence in Middlesex brightens up our little town and may they enjoy a long and prosperous run here.
