Fridge For Craft Beer

Do you enjoy drinking a cold one after you get home from work? Want to drink a craft beer on the patio, soaking in the sun on a nice day? Make sure your beer is kept nice and cool in a nice fridge for craft beer. You can keep beer in the main fridge, sure, but if you want to ensure you maintain a nice stock, you would be better off with a special compact fridge. Why? A compact fridge, sometimes referred to as a bar fridge or beer fridge, is a dedicated space for all your drinks (craft beer or otherwise). You don’t need to worry about saving space for anything else when you have a fridge like this, and you are even creating space in your main fridge for snacks and other food items you can enjoy while you drink a cold one.

Where might you put a small fridge you ask? Well, one of the other great things about these compact fridges is you can put it almost anywhere, since the size is flexible. Many people choose to keep their Danby – small fridge in their kitchen as well, but you can put it wherever it is convenient! If there is a covered section of your patio, you can put it there and still keep it safe from the weather. Some also choose to put the fridge with their craft beer in the garage or in another room—one of the most popular other choices is an entertainment or home theatre room. With a small fridge full of drinks in the room with you while watching a movie, you no longer have a reason to pause the movie all the time to get up and grab drinks in another room. Enjoy!

The wedding was amazing, the honeymoon was unbelievable, but our family was even better.  We now have two adorable little children, and they’re the best thing that’s ever happened to us.

On this blog, I want to document my journey as a mother, the struggles of being a mom, and the in’s and out’s of starting a family at a young age.  I want to talk about the differences between living as a couple and living as parents.
