The Beer Nation Fridge

A beer lover’s fridge is a window on that person’s tastes.  That’s why I love sneaking a peak at the contents of people’s fridges.  Now, don’t go thinking I’m some kind of weirdo who walks in my friend’s door, gives the “what’s up” hug and heads straight to the kitchen.  I’m usually carrying a six-pack [...]
