Both a love and a lifestyle

I'm still trying to fathom the idea of actually buying an entire fridge just to keep beer in. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though, considering how many wine refrigerators I've helped load this summer.

Now that I think about it, though, I'm the same guy who had a mini-fridge in my dorm room under the desk, in addition to the microwave/fridge/freezer supplied with the room. I didn't even have to get out of my chair to get a can of Dr Pepper.
 
well, the fridge was a bargain at $50 from one of my regular customers who were moving and with food for 4 people in the main fridge it gets kinda full.
 
in college, my roomy worked for a delivery company, so when someone had a new fridge delivered, he took their old one, and set it up in our carport.

that was one hell of a kick ass beer fridge :beerbang:

i miss those days!
 
Good lord.

Taking current stock of what is in the beer fridge, I was shocked to note that there was 27 types of beer in there. Some good, some bad, some exquisite, lots of Christmas/seasonal ales. I should work up a list and possibly a review.
 
These are only the beers that we have onhand. There are others like Petrus and John Courage that were freshly emptied and unable to counted amongst the living.

A truly comprehensive list of what Tonks and I have killed off over the last 6 months would make any alcoholic proud.
 
1. Ommegang ... very tasty. New York brewer.
2. Hobgoblin ... one of our favorites. English.
3. Sam Adams ... now considered to be a light beer to us now. Boston.
4. Sam Adams Old Fezziwig Ale ... part of a holiday pack.
5. Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic ...only found in the holiday pack. oh so very good.

Mooshead is a corn beer. I wouldn't be able to drink it. Its up to Tonks to desire its presence. The new open market is bringing in so many new things to try that we rarely back up to the old school brews.

Tsingtao is corn beer?
Does that mean its off-limits?

Very much so. In fact, all japanese, chinese, korean beers are corn style adjunct lagers. Most of the worlds output is off limits to me. That is why you see so many expensive small market crafted ales. Those are the only ones that as a rule never play with mass production additives.
 
No. I did not realize that.

buuuut.... if you want me to drink elsewise, you need to nudge your exporters into sending stuff south that isn't corn adjuncty. I'm off limits to Molson, Moosehead ... all of your broadbase brands.
 
the tsing tao is mine for when we have fish for dinner. i like an asian beer with my seafood. i like moosehead but i'm more of a stout girl (pun, unfortunately applies :( ).
