BrewFridge: More drunkenness...so soon after New Year's Eve!

Now come on! Does anybody seriously collect beer? The whole notion of someone actually collecting beer sums up an image of a guy opening the fridge or cupboard door, staring admiringly at the bottles (and maybe even stroking a few) before closing it again still thirsty. In the loosest sense of the term I suppose that I am collector of beer but in the Homer Simpson mould. I collect a slab on a weekly basis and would you believe it I have to collect another load a week later!

I can understand people collecting vintage wine and I reviewed an app recently that helps people organize their cellar. Beer however, no matter how noble the saintly beverage is, needs drinking and enjoying a few seconds after it’s been removed from the trunk of your car.

Apologies if I come across as if I’m in need of a session with AA but this site states that "many beer lovers forget what beers they have." How does that happen? Are they buying so much that they have to store it in a lock-up unit a few blocks away from their home?

So we’ve established that I’m not convinced about hoarding beer but I can see some benefits to beer lovers with Brewfridge. For a start, spreading the word about quality ales is akin to the work of a missionary as far as I’m concerned and the tasting notes function will certainly let you rate and learn about any hidden gems.

In this respect I can see it working as a great community beer lover’s site where opinions and recommendations are exchanged about new and exciting brews. As for letting me know the whereabouts of my collection, I kind of already know that on a weekly basis. I drank it!

Conclusion

Depending on whether you’re a glass half full or glass half empty sort of guy you might get something out of this one, cheers!
