Johnny Lang at WHBPAC – 8 p.m. If you’d rather not attend a vineyard or if you’re not the drinking type, enjoy a nice night with a friend or loved one at the WHBPAC to hear Johnny Lang. This GrammyAward winning musician and former child prodigy, is a young-souled guitar player with an old blues voice. He has toured with big names such as Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones and B.B King. Tickets are $125, $95, and $65. The WHBPAC is located at 76 Main Street, Westhampton Beach. For more information about this event call 631-288-1500 or visit www. whbpac.org. Not sure what to get your father for his special day? I’ve decided the best thing to get my dad is beer. This year he’ll receive a variety of beer from Southampton Publick House. He really likes their beer, especially their seasonal brews and specialties. His primary beer craving would be the Abbot 12, “strong, dark ale with notes of raisins, figs, and caramel, and a pronounced ‘dark rum’ character. Deceptively smooth at 10.5% alcohol, this strong ale is ideal as an afterdinner sipping brew.” Every time he has it he says, “Wow, that is damn good beer.” If your dad can’t decide on a particular beer, I’d suggest registering him for their Beer of the Month Club. This has been a big hit in my home and never gets old. Subscriptions are available in 2-12 month terms depending on how much beer your father might drink. With the monthly beer, one also receives a personalized gift card with each gift membership. This gift starts at $22.95, plus shipping and handling. Either idea is likely to make the perfect Father’s Day gift. Beer is the way to go! Whatever you’re doing – remember that many of our local restaurants are offering Father’s day specials! wickenden/Flickr
