Has anyone ordered from Peter recently? Or are all of you guys still pissed at him?

I never get any replies when I send e-mails to him. It's probably been about two years since I've been able to order anything from him.

Not to stir a pot or anything but is there a reason to be pissed at him?

I was put on his mailing list somehow a few years ago and never got around to ordering anything from him, though I've been sorely tempted on numerous occasions. It has been awfully quiet lately, I miss drooling over the lists he used to send out.

I emailed him a month ago but haven't heard a peep.

I have no problems w/ him but a few posters on here do. If you do a search it's all cataloged on the board, no sense of me rehashing old dirty laundry.

Would love to get a case of Rochefort 10 or Westmalle Tripel.

I contacted him and ordered a case with him about a month ago. I didn't have any problems.

Hogtown Harry is currently leading a total-war against him and will never relent until Peter is utterly vanquished, ideally in a bloody heap. Hope that clears it up.

We're still here and we still sell beer. " rabbit" aside, anyone who won't buy a beer because of who is selling it should switch to tea. We troll the site occassionally (maybe once every 3 months) and we're not preoccupied. Bartowellers are generally preoccupied with domestic and US micros which is not the mainstay of our business. We are Belgian-centric and that is who we are. All of the Trappisrts excluding La Trappe (including Westvleteren) and many other famed breweries are part if our portfolio. If you are interested in being added to our mailing list, contact me at espritagencies@sympatico.ca

Otherwise, we wish you all well and cheers!

Peter

Anyone who wants to order from us will be guaranteed a response within 48 hours...don[t know where this is coming from....I deal with dozens of people each week and I have mostly happy consumers...want a list...we'll send it to you but some of these posts are offensive to say the least. If sometimes we miss responding there are a variety of reasons this could happen...doesn't matter...my e-mail is espritagencies@sympatico.ca...my telephone is 416-762-4133...my fax is 647-439-0821...my cell is 647-208-9463...I live at 211 Fairview Ave. in west end Toronto....can I make myself more available? Want good beer....I've got it...want to whine...go ahead.


He's back.......

Why do you refer to yourself as 'we' ?
