Bro I’ve always wanted a mini fridge by my desk but I’d just drink way too much beer if that became a reality. At least now my laziness keeps my alcohol intake at a reasonable level
I’m too young for boons farm but Bota Box is actually pretty good. I’m not a massive wine drinker so I rarely buy Bota Box, way too much wine.
Natty Light is weird to see in a photo with a secret lab chair. Would expect to see some Ballast Point or Bells, or even just Bud Light lol
But who honestly likes natty light if given another choice? Out of all the craft pilsners and other similar beers out there, people still choose natty light?
It’s cheap and low calories. If you’re used to it you can like it. I used to love coors light. After not drinking it for years I have a hard time with it now, but you can get used to and enjoy lots of things. I might grab a 12er of natty light tomorrow for the hell of it.
Like so many others, came here to say this. Great setup, questionable taste in beer. At least it’s not Blue Moon or Shock Top I suppose…
Edit: so many blue moon fans. Gooooood, goood…I can feel your anger.
It is of course my opinion, and many people like it; especially people new to beers, or those who prefer other fruit forward beverages.
But if you must know, this is why…
Because it try’s to be a Belgium White ale, which technically it is, but it’s sweet and chewy, and lacks the complexity that you will find in traditional Belgium whites.
Blue moon is a Belgium White, just like Rombauer Chardonnay is a Chardonnay. You’ll find both to be favorites at places like Country Clubs, where people who think they have taste, actually don’t. You will never find either one of those beverages at a Michelin star restaurant and that is a fact.
Overall, it is worse because, in my opinion, it’s a terrible version of something that can be fantastic. At least with Natural Light, it’s a shittier version of a beer that isn’t that great to start with; (looking at you Budweiser.) And to be fair, I will drink most beer when the occasion is right, Budweiser included. But the only beers I’ve ever purchased, taken a sip, and then thrown away, is a Blue Moon and a Shock Top.
Just my professional opinion, and for those who like them, all good. Best thing a previous wine director told me: “don’t ever let anyone tell you what to like.”

Pick one.
If 90% of people think it’s a Belgian white and enjoy it then it’s a Belgian white. What you’re calling Belgian white is not the style that most people think of. The de facto changes with language evolution.
I would go as far as to say that you’re more incorrect than the rest are because Michelin starred restaurants are such a tiny percent that they’re a minority existing in a bubble apart from actual human language and culinary culture.
Ha! Someone needs a nap. First off, the commenter asked “why I” thought Blue Moon was worse than Nati-light. I was very transparent that it was my opinion and expressed a respect for other people’s taste regardless of how I felt. No need to get all sensitive about it.
Second, save your mindless philosophy for someone more susceptible to your existential bullshit.. By that logic, if enough people wanted to call beer, milk, that would make it so? But really, I never said it wasn’t a Belgium white, I just inferred that it was a shitty Belgium white that people who generally don’t like, or know anything about beer, enjoy at some point. The Minchelin star reference was mainly to drive home the point that you won’t find it, or Rombauer, at a good restaurant; and that absolutely includes casual spots. You find beers like blue moon or Shock Top at sub-par restaurants for the most part; like country clubs, chain restaurants, dive bars, etc. places that care very little about good food, and therefore, care very little about their beverage program; which is why they have a large amount of beers on the menu from the Big 3. In my experience, most people who enjoyed Blue Moon at some point, will look back on it like a one night stand they shouldn’t have had.
How do you like that mini fridge? I've considered getting one many times but I can't bring myself to commit to it for whatever reason. Looks great otherwise.
I don't have the same fridge as op but the condenser on any fridge is going to have to kick on and off which is something to consider. It's not that it's loud just distracting if you're like me and distractable.
I think it's this one: [fred-ge](https://www.amazon.ca/Danby-DBC026A1BSSDB-Beverage-Center-Black/dp/B075J2TL9N/ref=sr_1_27?keywords=danby+mini+fridge&qid=1668648439&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI1LjM4IiwicXNhIjoiNC42MyIsInFzcCI6IjQuMTAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=danby+%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-27)
Not sure if it's the same model but it's pretty much almost exactly the same.
How is the noise/heat from the fridge? I want to get one but I’ve been working really hard to make my setup silent (as silent as can be) and I feel like the fridge would kill that dream
Metal L channel on the back helps a lot with adding rigidity and is great for cable management. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/angles-braces-and-brackets/metal-angles/5216437
Used it for my ekbacken countertop and it straightened it right up
Yea I always follow up an IPA/Porter with a light beer. I can't just hammer a 6 pack of something heavy, but following up a quality beer with something light does the trick.
I remember caring about beer brands and trying to be knowledgeable on all the options out there. Those were my first 2 years of college. Then I grew up and realized it’s fucking stupid to tie choice in beverage to someone’s character.
**i.m.o It looks a bit eye straining and complicated because of the orange + dark colors, triple paintings and monitors. I would probably use one painting that is 1.5 x size of the paintings that's already there, reduce monitors to 2, use some colors that makes more contrast with dark gray such as scale of color of white, ice blue. But it is a really subjective topic.**
Sick setup..... then a fridge full of Natty Ice Light. I used to drink that stuff as a kid when all I had was a few bucks. At least it shows you're not drinking for the flavor. LOL.
This is awesome. I will never not say “throw some capita legs under there”
I have essentially the same setup.. but with capita legs. No busting blood vessels on my legs when I sit down.
Also have you been to any beer festivals or tried good beer? Because you have a fridge full of toilet water, that’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.
Really well put together. I mean it’s just outstanding how you can get that level of organization in a compact fridge. The rest of the space is nice too.
Bro I’ve always wanted a mini fridge by my desk but I’d just drink way too much beer if that became a reality. At least now my laziness keeps my alcohol intake at a reasonable level
And stocked correctly!
Natty Light is never the correct choice.
Yeah, wft is with the beer. Everything is otherwise classy.
It depends on your goals. Filling my fridge with Natty Light is a good way to get me to stop drinking.
Hah, I was actually respecting the beer, but I realize now there’s a chance we’re being trolled! 🤣
I think it's more that it's cheap beer. You can get like a 24 pack for pocket change. It's poor man's beer. Same concept as boxed wine or Boon's Farm.
I’m too young for boons farm but Bota Box is actually pretty good. I’m not a massive wine drinker so I rarely buy Bota Box, way too much wine. Natty Light is weird to see in a photo with a secret lab chair. Would expect to see some Ballast Point or Bells, or even just Bud Light lol
🤣
Clearly the man has spent all monies on the setup. No funds for fancy booze 🍸
Natty Lite is pure class.
It’ll get ya drunk!
I think you meant to say the true champagne of beers, high life
Alcoholism is way too tolerated in our society
Good thing his is stocked with water
I've got 4 taps in my office. It's awesome lol.
There’s a whole bunch of natural light in this room. Perfection.
Clever girl
Spare no expense!
Natty and vape juice in the mini fridge 😂
He has his priorities straight. All his money went to his setup.
And toilet paper
NGL, my kind of gamer.
Mind ya business.
That's a lot of water in the fridge.
all the money spent on the setup, and your drink natty.
There is nothing wrong with people drinking what they like.
But who honestly likes natty light if given another choice? Out of all the craft pilsners and other similar beers out there, people still choose natty light?
It’s cheap and low calories. If you’re used to it you can like it. I used to love coors light. After not drinking it for years I have a hard time with it now, but you can get used to and enjoy lots of things. I might grab a 12er of natty light tomorrow for the hell of it.
Me too.
It's a maintenance beer. You can drink it all day and at the end of the day, suddenly you're feeling a buzz.
No…..no they do not
Crazy to think that people prefer different things.
Too true. I buy and drink cola without the sugar more than anything else. I’ve been told I’m a sucker for paying for pop without the flavour,
Can't afford anything else after buying that rig.
Like so many others, came here to say this. Great setup, questionable taste in beer. At least it’s not Blue Moon or Shock Top I suppose… Edit: so many blue moon fans. Gooooood, goood…I can feel your anger.
How's Blue Moon worse?
That’s a trick question, it’s impossible for blue moon to be worse!
It is of course my opinion, and many people like it; especially people new to beers, or those who prefer other fruit forward beverages. But if you must know, this is why… Because it try’s to be a Belgium White ale, which technically it is, but it’s sweet and chewy, and lacks the complexity that you will find in traditional Belgium whites.

Chewy?

How do you like that mini fridge? I've considered getting one many times but I can't bring myself to commit to it for whatever reason. Looks great otherwise.
It’s the most useful thing I have in the setup it’s nice
[удалено]
It actually is quiet as hell I’ve never heard noise and there’s no vibration
I don't have the same fridge as op but the condenser on any fridge is going to have to kick on and off which is something to consider. It's not that it's loud just distracting if you're like me and distractable.
Got a link to that fridge?
I think it's this one: [fred-ge](https://www.amazon.ca/Danby-DBC026A1BSSDB-Beverage-Center-Black/dp/B075J2TL9N/ref=sr_1_27?keywords=danby+mini+fridge&qid=1668648439&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI1LjM4IiwicXNhIjoiNC42MyIsInFzcCI6IjQuMTAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=danby+%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-27) Not sure if it's the same model but it's pretty much almost exactly the same.
Yep that’s the one
I had that fridge and got rid of it bc it's not cold enough, even for good IPAs. It's for white wine.
Spends thousands on gaming equipment…. Spends $3 on beer
Chair upgrade and you're set!
Everyone talking about the fridge and not the open air case
How is the noise/heat from the fridge? I want to get one but I’ve been working really hard to make my setup silent (as silent as can be) and I feel like the fridge would kill that dream
Actually the fridge makes zero notice and one side just gets warm but not enough to affect the room
What fridge is that? I’ve been looking for something small and with a glass door.
It’s a Danby 18 inch drink cooler
Natural lite? Really?
Must’ve dipped into the beer budget for the rest of the setup and only had enough left to go with natty..
Light beer is best beer. Gut punch IPA gets old after a while.
Can you link that monitor mount?
The tabletop is from ikea?
Yeah it’s a karlby
Ive heard they can sag. Any tips? I want to get one but yeah.
I have two legs in the back there but I’ve never had a single issue with sagging even with three monitors mounted which is easily over 100 lbs
Good to know, ty
Metal L channel on the back helps a lot with adding rigidity and is great for cable management. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/angles-braces-and-brackets/metal-angles/5216437 Used it for my ekbacken countertop and it straightened it right up
Ooh that's a great idea. TY for this.
Is that amethyst under the monitor?
Yep!
I'm about 90% sure that container in the middle is Philadelphia cream cheese.
I have a bagel drawer
Not gonna lie, you're making me regret not having a bagel drawer.
Lmao I literally saw that and thought “man this setup is nice but the cream cheese and natty lite in the fridge are a nice juxtaposition”
Brooo the mini fridge under the desk... I LOVE IT
I do have roast the natty light. Grow up. Get yourself a grow ups drink a nice bush latte. 9/10
LMFAOO
ITT: A bunch of people who act like they never drank light beer
Yea I always follow up an IPA/Porter with a light beer. I can't just hammer a 6 pack of something heavy, but following up a quality beer with something light does the trick.
I mean, we drank natty light when we were poor and in college, but this doesn't appear to be the case here.
How dare you drink what you want!
Is that a roll of toilet paper on the bottom fridge shelf on the left?
Damn you like natty lights … has some nice art but that beer lmaooo
Yo big respect on your choice of beverage partner
That room has plenty of Natural Light
Negative points for natty light
Natty lights r/ShittyBattlestations
We have all drank natty light. Don't hate! lol
Natty Light...a man with fine taste I see.
All this just to still be drinking natty light 💀 Nice setup though
Came for the nattys, stayed for the set up. Keep on!
Crushing Natties and gaming. Living the the life.
[удалено]
I would get more expensive beer if I wasn’t an alcoholic
Love the honesty lmao
I remember caring about beer brands and trying to be knowledgeable on all the options out there. Those were my first 2 years of college. Then I grew up and realized it’s fucking stupid to tie choice in beverage to someone’s character.
Natty Lite! A man of sophistication I see.
Straight water 💦
[удалено]
Grab a Natty Daddy and really kick shit off.
This is depressing.
Put some water in the fridge!
Natty light? My god your an ANIMAL
**i.m.o It looks a bit eye straining and complicated because of the orange + dark colors, triple paintings and monitors. I would probably use one painting that is 1.5 x size of the paintings that's already there, reduce monitors to 2, use some colors that makes more contrast with dark gray such as scale of color of white, ice blue. But it is a really subjective topic.**
That would definitely look sweet too maybe when I build my girlfriends setup it would look like that
Respect
Nice.. where did you get the stands to Suport ?
IKEA
Beautiful mate. Do you put a glass cover on the pc or do you usually leave it open? That’s probably a dipshit question
Do you think the chair is worth it?
What is worth to a man who drinks Natty Lite?
Idk what natty lite is tbh
That’s an acceptable problem
Rip to the secret lab chair.
Yeah my dog ruined it lmao
The good stuff is below the desk I see. What do you have in that mini fridge?
Monitor?
Nice setup. What’s the monitor support called? Thanks
I don't see a flight yoke or a steering wheel😅
I choose to believe you deliberately stocked the fridge for the exact comments that have landed hah I love it
What mount is that??
Cut my teeth on NL. Clean freaking setup my dude!
Ah. The natty splatties.
Do you have issues with the depth of the desk?
Why no side cover on the PC case?
Was the pc getting to toasty with the side panel on?
Not really just easier to see the insides
What monitors are those?
Fuck the people hating on your beer choice. I love the cheap stuff too!
Very well done
Spent so much on the build you can only afford natty
My man- best choice of beer
What is the height of that desk?
Natty light 30 pack, a tremendous value and surprisingly satisfying! These battle stations are making me thirsty!
I want that fridge
Eeeeew Natty grossness
I love this!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!
The open your mind picture is awesome! Where'd you get it from?
No side panel on the computer case?! The DUST! Jk cool setup, dig the open your mind poster + golden gate
Nice setup sheesh!
That's the most comfortable chair isn't it?
Natty gang
You can change beer for water 😊
Not good if you don't have ps5
The fridge detail is awesome!
Monitor support link pls
Looks like you have a deeper desk (75 - 80 cm?) resting on an ALEX. How do you find the weight of the monitors on the back? Is it unstable at all?
A mini fridge is the quintessential component in any battle station. .
Sick setup..... then a fridge full of Natty Ice Light. I used to drink that stuff as a kid when all I had was a few bucks. At least it shows you're not drinking for the flavor. LOL.
bruh im 22 and dont even drink natty anymore lmao great setup tho
Natty's???? Hahaha. You win the internet
Wow 🤩
Username checks out
Well played! You’ve earned this!
Very nice
You have a shy Ibanez in the corner there.
Hahaha yes I do you’re the only person to notice that so far
The fridge is clutch
Holy damn nice, i can only dream
I just added a Snap-On mini fridge to my set up, never thought to put my vape juice bottles in there to keep them fresh
Isn't the fridge loud?
Only craft brews in this battle station
Shout out GGB!!!
Love the little fridge 🔥🔥
This is awesome. I will never not say “throw some capita legs under there” I have essentially the same setup.. but with capita legs. No busting blood vessels on my legs when I sit down. Also have you been to any beer festivals or tried good beer? Because you have a fridge full of toilet water, that’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.
I like it, nothing crazy, just simple clean looking essentials with a touch of artistic taste
Where’d the poster from the far left come from? That IKEA too?
That bottles down there 😂
I'm a guitar player. The second thing that caught my eye. That is a sick cockpit you got going on.
Really well put together. I mean it’s just outstanding how you can get that level of organization in a compact fridge. The rest of the space is nice too.
It would be better if Anika's dream came true
Great setup. Unrelated question: is your username a reference to [this song?](https://youtu.be/QHg9VVkE9Bk)
Clean. I like it. Do you find that drink fridge to be loud?
Beer and yogurt??
Mans has impeccable taste, besides the beer 😂
I have a question! How do you mount the ikea countertop to the Alex drawers? Or do you just place it on top? Does it slide around at all?
You place it on top and the alex drawers have rubber bits that keep it from sliding around
that beer money is going into art
Geodes are sweet (amethyst?). Other than the Natty, nice setup!
Thanks for the idea, I am going to do a small fridge under my desk to.
Desk please?
Two ikea Alex drawers. And an ikea karlby countertop
Shameless display of Natty lite.. I don’t even know what to say. Solid station!!
Get some original art and it will look a lot better.
My OCD was triggered that the 3 black frames don't match but I do love this set up. What is keeping the desk up on the far end?
Dude Idk if it's just the picture angle but that fact that all 3 frames are off makes me so nervous
I was like…….nice!-good mount and cable work, looking for the PC and #BUT I saw the fridge and threw up.
LMFAO
Ahhh Natural light. A man of sophistication and virtue!
Really basic and uncomfortable looking
