Save animals with beer on 17 July

Here’s a message to bear in mind…

Top 15 Japanese Beer (Girls)

As most of you will know, we spent most of last week getting teased by 300 beers (girls) at the Beer Fest Asia. And it was very clear which beer tents had bigger budgets based on the aesthetics of their beer (girls). Those who joined us there will validate this.
