*Burp*
They say that the best conversations happen over a cup of coffee, really? Damn wrong! The best conversations happen over a big-ass mug of beer- with friends and you don’t really have to bother about where exactly you are.
We love beer, we all do in a sense that the idea of a party cometh and there cometh beer. If you are in your right mind, you are going to love this; Its time for beer festivals and the world is on a roll.
Beer is a proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
Go comrade go! Drink them all.
