Hands off my beer fridge
Australians are being asked to give up their beer fridges to help save the environment. No way dude.
A Round of BeerLuv
I’ve been away for several days and have fallen behind on my BeerLuving. Here’s some link luving instead:
Maeib explains that good beer travels well.
Mike Morgan decides it doesn’t matter where your beer is brewed.

Someone got too much sun at the Surly Open.
Real Japanese Beer? [...]
More Reasons to Luv Beer
Kegworks gives us more reason to Luv Beer, beyond the wonderful taste of course:
