Just read up on the benefits for the lead engineer.

"We offer a great startup work environment with free beer, snacks, and friendly teammates."

Free beer, really? I have an image of fridge in the office kitchenette where it is stocked up with beer. How common is this for a US company?

It's pretty common for tech startups. We take requests for what everyone wants ordered from FreshDirect each week (including beer & snacks).

I work at a very large software company, and we also have beer in the fridge pretty often. Usually ends up coming out Friday afternoons when people are starting to wind down.
