Mikkeller quality

Anyone have any quality issues with Mikkeller lately? I had a bottle of It's Alive, and Funk E* both go completely flat even with a best before date of 2014. They both had rubber corks and came from the same order.

San Francisco

This is a long shot... anyone know if you can get any decent beer once you're through security at the airport? I have a friend that's heading down and only bringing carry on. -.-

Find an antique place. I bought these crates outside of Port Hope for $3 each and they work perfectly.

Management usually sets the tone for the store. If that's the type of service you got, he should probably be promoted to customer experience manager for the whole brand.

Haandbryggeriet Haandbakk - it's like an oude bruin with a lot of lambic funk... I love it. Pulled this out to try since Bieropholie has cases available. Ordering for sure!

It's a great location.. finally that side of the river has a watering hole. And finally Peterborough has a new place to go for beers with a decent tap selection.

I went around 5pm, and there were two people besides me. I think the $20 price might be scaring people off as neither of those people bought any!

Hey folks, just an update. Waiting on a case of the Kriek, and then I will go pick this all up. Not sure why there's a delay. It looks like they shipped the 24 bottle cases later, since I already have the 750ml bottles.
