A few things: 1. None of us get's "rich" off ANY of these small volume beers we bring in. Even the "successful" ones. 2. There are a few "beer cocktails" around including others with spirits in - many of which are, indeed, concocted in a plant by formula and "mass ...

Thanks for your support everyone .. !! FYI, Category Management (i.e. people who run the show at head office) HAVE agreed that it can be sold to willing buyers "out of the back" so to speak .. so, IF you do in fact come across a store which DOES have it (i.e. admits to having it) but that ...
