Tax day is one of those days that make many people cringe. The thought of April 15th, and the knowledge that your taxes must be completed and mailed to the IRS by that date (not to mention the hefty sums that you may have to send in with your tax return), has caused that mid-April day to be one that is met with a bit of disdain. That is, unless you are an accountant, and then you know that April 15th is the day you get your freedom back and stop working 15 hour days to get everyone else’s tax returns completed in time.

Either way, a kegerator is one of those unexpected accessories that may be a welcome addition to your April 15th routine. Whether you are dreading the day because you know that you need to send your taxes in and you owe a lot of money, or you are on the other end of the spectrum and eagerly anticipate the day for months because you know it is when life returns to normalcy, there is definitely a place for an afternoon or evening spent worshipping your kegerator.

Think of it this way – if you’re in a crappy mood because the government is taking all of your hard earned money in taxes, what better way to stop worrying about things you can’t control than to grab a frosty mug, mosey up to your kegerator, flip the kegerator tap so that a bit of liquid gold comes pouring out to fill that mug, and then take a seat to enjoy the rich, fresh taste of your draft beer while you let your worries roll off your back.

If one trip to the kegerator isn’t enough to cure your tax day blues, then the answer is relatively simple – just take another trip or two back to that kegerator until you start to feel better. Just make sure you don’t make too many trips to your favorite draft beer dispenser, unless tax day falls on a weekend this year, because tomorrow you have to head back to work to start earning a bit more to give to Uncle Sam next year, and also of course, to refill your kegerator.

If, on the other hand, you are one of the many accountants that makes their bread and butter during the months preceding tax day, but works their fingers to the bone during that time, then April 15th is a day worth celebrating. No longer will you need to work long, grueling days, dealing with other people’s financial woes. It’s back to business as usual for the rest of the year, or at least until New Year’s Day rolls around. But before that relaxing schedule starts to set in, it’s worth also celebrating the fact that tax day for you as an accountant is like Christmas in April, since it is the time of the year that brings you the most financial reward.

That celebratory day is another reason to enjoy the contents of your kegerator. If you have a mini kegerator, you may even want to consider bringing it into work so as soon as the last tax return is mailed, your co-workers and you can start the celebration with no wasted time. Of course, if you plan on bringing your mini kegerator to work, be sure to check with your boss first, or it may be the last tax day you are employed at your current place of business.

So, if you are looking for a great way to deal with tax day, whether to beat the tax day blues or to celebrate the end of a long, difficult work schedule, a large paycheck and the beginning of a more normal life for the rest of the year, then grab a mug and head to your nearest kegerator.
