Home Bar Essentials
Put down the cracked pitcher and step away from the tilting card table. You aren’t an amateur beer enthusiast, so why should your space look like you are? If you are a serious beer lover, or just want an amazing place to entertain friends, you need to create a home bar. Bars in the living room may be mostly a thing of the past, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t convert your basement, loft, den, or attached garage into a brew aficionado’s paradise.

Beertaps Review
This is the opposite of the traditional black chalkboard. It's the more advanced whiteboard that college professors and corporations across the nation use for writing their notes and thinking out loud. If Einstein could have had this baby, we would have had the greatest beer a long time ago.
With each new recipe you try to brew, give it a name. Doesn't have to be special! Jack Daniel's batches were marked with No. 1, No. 2...on down to No. 7. The cleaning solution Formula 409 was treated the same way until they found perfection. You can do that too!
Amber Ale, Coffee Porter, Chocolate Stout are just a few of the things you can write on your whiteboard...
"Try this! Tastes good. It's a'right."
"My recent batch. Explodes in your mouth."
"Awful. Gut check. Drink it down. I need the keg back."
