Cheers to Kevin! A Retirement Party to Remember at Almanac Beer Co., Alameda
After decades of dedication, laughter, and legendary work stories, Kevin finally traded in his office badge for a cold beer and some well-deserved R&R. And what better way to celebrate a legacy than with a retirement bash at Almanac Beer Company in Alameda, California?
Our team at Booths By Christy had the honor of capturing the unforgettable moments from Kevin’s sendoff in style. The venue—known for its craft brews, laid-back Bay vibes, and open-air aesthetic—was the perfect spot to toast to a career well spent and a new chapter well begun.
The Vibes
With the beautiful San Francisco skyline just across the bay and a breeze that whispered, “You’re officially off the clock,” the setting couldn’t have been more on point. Friends, family, and co-workers showed up with love in their hearts and cameras ready—though ours did the heavy lifting.
The Booths
We brought in our Print Photo Booth to give everyone a chance to leave with memories in hand. The custom template celebrated Kevin’s career highlights (yes, that inside joke about the stapler made it in), and guests had a blast striking poses, writing messages, and hamming it up for the lens.
As the sun dipped lower, the lighting got golden—and so did the laughter. The booth line never died down. Everyone wanted a turn to document their joy, appreciation, and maybe even a little envy that Kevin gets to sleep in now.
The Brew
Almanac’s rotating selection of beers added flavor to the event—literally. Whether it was a hazy IPA, a tart Berliner Weisse, or a bold stout, there was something for every guest to raise a glass with. And raise them they did—with toasts that were heartfelt, hilarious, and just the right amount of roasty.
Final Word
Kevin, if you're reading this—your impact on your colleagues was loud and clear. The laughter, the hugs, the stories (some of which definitely shouldn’t be in HR files) made one thing certain: you didn’t just retire from a job, you graduated from a legacy.
From all of us at Booths by Christy, congrats on your next adventure! May your days be as chill as the beer you toasted with. You earned it.
