… and no, that doesn’t mean that you should carpet the floor in empty beer bottles.

And if you’re a true beer connoisseur (with the right funding), go all-out and splurge on an at-home brewery or bar.

Especially one like this, that just screams “man cave!”

Unless you’re a woman, that is. Then you may prefer something more along these lines:
