R.I.P. Chiller of Beer

Whole Hog Brewery began it's kegging operation with the purchase of a early 80's model GE Refrigerator. After countless hours of cutting, modifying, and painting, we finally had a beer fridge we could be proud of. Recently however, the fridge began to leak oil and freon. The compressor is knocking loudly and it was only a matter of time before WHB would have to put the fridge to rest. We will never forget the brews you chilled to the optimum server temperature. Rest In Peace.

Stay tuned for the unveiling of WHB's newest Beer Fridge!
