National Lager Day!

Vintage Beer Anyone?

With today being National Lager Day, the thought of doing a Vintage Beer Calendar came straight into my brain as naturally as a Stella Artois goes down the gully!  Let’s take a quick look at what a future Vintage Beer Calendar might look like – a Full 12 Pack of Ice Cold lager loveliness!
