We’ve long believed that enjoying beer goes beyond just the liquid. In putting together this issue, we talked about the things we like about being beer drinkers. From the everyday items that are easy to take for granted to the more obscure customs and barroom etiquette, we gathered together thoughts from brewers, writers and readers to come up with the following list. And because we appreciate lively conversation, we want to know what you think. Share your thoughts on what you think deserves its place on this list by reaching out to All About Beer Magazine via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
