I have a beer soaked room, but I never have company over (that what love hotels and travel are for) and certainly never hold any parties in the apartment - easier to have a party in the bar and charge the guests. The problem is that too many bottles explode, leaving me short of beer. I had to take a crate of Kirin to the hanami bbq yesterday to cover the gap. > The tatami are the problem.
