DURHAM, NC – As educators across the region wrap up their first week back in the classroom, Ment Beverage Co. is inviting teachers to unwind with the return of their popular “Teacher Fridays” event.

The celebration will take place this Friday, August 29, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the company’s Durham location at 312 Blackwell Street #103. The event specifically targets teachers who have navigated the challenges of returning to school after summer break.

“Teachers had to return to the classroom so, of course, teacher fridays are also making a return,” the company announced. “It’s the end of the first week of school, you survived, let’s celebrate.”

The event will feature drink specials alongside unique cocktails crafted from mead, as well as non-alcoholic mocktails for attendees who prefer alcohol-free options. Ment Beverage Co. specializes in mead production, offering a distinctive alternative to traditional beer and wine establishments.

The timing of the event acknowledges the transitional period many educators experience as they shift from summer schedules back to the demands of the academic year. By scheduling the celebration immediately following the first week of classes, organizers aim to provide teachers with an opportunity to decompress and connect with colleagues.

The Teacher Fridays event represents part of a broader trend of local businesses offering targeted appreciation events for specific professional communities, particularly those in public service roles like education.

For more information about the event, teachers can visit Ment Beverage Co. at their Durham location or contact the establishment directly.

Teacher Fridays takes place Friday, August 29, from 3-6 p.m. at Ment Beverage Co., 312 Blackwell Street #103, Durham, NC 27701.
