It may just make it to the weekend, maybe not. And no, it wouldn't be on after 12 days no matter what! Rich We need more publicans like you...

Yep, the price point is rather brutal. Roughly $25 per bottle. I picked up about a case and a half of mix and match and nearly cried at the bill. That's my beer budget for pretty much the next half year. I'll have to start dipping into my closet O' stored beers. $450? You've got some balls. Don't t...

Then again we'd like to encourage Craft Beer Noobs - people who traditionally drink lighter, low-quality beer - to 'drink less and drink better beer..' So 275mls of beer WITH flavor is a good option for new people. And easier to keep track of how many beers they've had equivalent to the regular stu...
