Seems like everyone was being pretty jovial in that thread. Was it the reference to the beer summit that had it locked?
Speaking of summits, how many "Summits" have actually occurred on a summit?
Seriously, if you're going to lock a thread, please identify yourself and why you locked it. Well, aside from Magic threads, we all know why those get locked.
Way too fancy of a kegerator-- what happened to simply taking a tap and cutting a hole in the front door? Isn't that what battery powered drills were invented for?
Or stocking an old fridge with as much beer as it could hold, painting it the same color as the back of the house and hope your kids don't figure out that no one could see them take a few.
Not that something like that ever happened.....
Ben Franklin did invent the Franklin Stove, but he also invented the less well-known "Franklin Fridge". It was a similar contraption filled with ice shipped from NH that he kept imported beer from Sam Adams cold for when he wanted a frostie those hot days in Philly.

And, if you drill the hole in the right place, you can use the shelves on the door for...

MORE BEER!
As we used to say at Adult Racing at the mighty Nashoba, it's all about the beer.

There's no waiting for friends on a powder day.
I often had to turn my ski pole upside down and use that to prise off the bottle cap. But now that Trackbiker sagaciously started carrying an opener, it's much easier.
I think apres' ski is relevant and beer is part of that. One of my fondest memories was before night skiing took over HV. The adults would gather upstairs in the Middle Chalet and drink beer around the fire place while we would out causing trouble-- sliding down Yodeler on cafeteria trays, getting into snow ball fights, etc etc. The social scene was much more casual and friendly.
Unfortunately, they didn't really have the breadth and depth of all of the good beers we have today. The best they could get was the Labatt's and Molson's from across the creek in Canada in those short little bottles. There apparently was a different flavor to them compared to the stuff sold in the USA.
The good old days at HV boy has it changed.....and now Labatt's is brewed in Rochester NY at the Genesee facility how things really change, remember going toCanada to get a case of Bradours!
