				We've got beer in the fridge but may only drink it after 5:30 pm (usual end of a workday) who's is shit because even if I come in early I may not drink a beer - and I come in early often on Fridays.

				 DROPFROM109yWe have Friday afternoons (after 3pm) where they unlock a keg of beer that stays in the kitchen along with bowls of crisps/sweets to spend a bit of time with colleagues/departments you don't usually speak with.

				In Berlin, our beer fridge is always full and after 6pm, we drink and optionally continue working

				@chrisalexthomas that's the thing, no one here wants to stay longer than 5:30 (we've only got 30 min lunch break) as he wants to get home to his family

I don't know how it works in other countries, but in Hungary the best workplace where you can have a beer and good time with your colleagues after work. Is it same thing at your country? :)
