Beer Hero of the Week

This week's Beer Hero is Kimber VanRy. Who? You may ask. Kimber VanRy was enjoying a bottle of beer on his doorstep in Brooklyn and was given a $25 fine for drinking in public.

Congratulations Mr VanRy on being Beer Hero of the Week.

Thanks also to Jay for bringing this story to my attention.
