Fridge Check
As beer drinkers, we like to show off our beer fridges. I used to do a Fridge Friday on Twitter and Instagram. I’d post pics of my beer fridge. But my fridge has been too lame to show off.

Anyway, I’m just leading to this New York Times quiz that’s kinda fun to take:

The biggest takeaway from this is that sad fridges affect people of all political leanings. (Although the one fridge with 3 containers of mayonnaise WAS a Trump voter.)

nytimes.comQuiz: Can You Tell a ‘Trump’ Fridge From a ‘Biden’ Fridge?What the contents of our refrigerators say about our politics — and our assumptions.

There was one with a 6-pack of Guinness and I guessed correctly as Biden, but really, that could have gone either way.

I guessed at a better rate than the average. I feel it’s my Fridge Friday skills paying off.

Reco Of The Week

I really loved the “Other Music” documentary. I watched on Prime Video (or whatever it’s called), I think it may be available on other platforms.

I found a lot of parallels between a beloved record shop and a brewery/taproom. The way they are both community centers of that scene.

Plus, if you watch closely you’ll see one of the owners is a Dogfish Head fan.

Didn’t want to leave y’all waiting too long. Final map!! 3014.64 miles in 58 days (6 rest days, 62 riding days). Thanks for following along.

Aaron from Austin Beer Guide, first rode down every street in Austin and now he has trekked his bike along the state lines to creat that map. Just thought it was cool.

Cheers, Aaron!

Oh, and cheers to YOU! Thanks for the read. (Sorry it was a little light this week) I really appreciate the shares and love.

Be safe out there!
