Could we be close to figuring out the Winter release?

Esprit has already confirmed that Rogue Yellow Snow, Samuel Smith Imperial Stout, and Samuel Smith Winter Welcome will be among those featured. Maybe Dogfish Head Raison d'Etre, as well?

I also noticed that Chimay Blue, Kasteel Donker, and St. Peter's Winter Ale have recently appeared on the website, along with Unibroue Terrible.

That's eight beers right there. Are we on the right track, or are the latter four just some of the random products that seem to make their way onto the website for no reason?

Hahahaha, Orval AND Rodenbach, I must be dreaming. This golden for those who were far to young to drink let alone good beer back in the days vintages carried it.

Sounds good, but, umm...rabbit??? Is there anyone else who's confused?

Ah ha! I always suspected that rabbit was just a shit-disturbing psuedonym for some forum regular or other. Looks like it's Peter from Esprit.

So now that you've been outted, Peter, are you going to apologize to everyone that you pissed off around here? We are all potential customers, after all... :wink:

I don't apologiize personally as I've done nothing wrong...rabbit is my evil twin brother who has leached off me almost my entire adult life...I despise him but, because of a deathbed promise to my mother, I continue to care for him even though he's constantly using my computer and doing this sort of thing. Frankly, almost everything I make from selling beer goes for his ps causing me no end of frustration and embarassement. He is under psychiatric care and I can tell you the financial toll it is taking on me is excruciating...so much so that I'm going to have to raise my prices by $10-$20 per case. I do apologize for his ignorance and for the fact that he's going to force my many good customers to pay a lot more for their cherished brews and, rest assured, we are doing everything possible to have him institutionalized but after every battery of psychological tests we're told he's a sane as any member of Parliament so it's an uphill struggle. As an interim measure, we're going to break all his fingers this weekend and see just how much he can type using only his nose!

I think a class was skipped in Beer Flogging 101: the idea is to insult the customer’s intelligence, not the customer himself.

What a curious world this is. :-?
Guess what? I got a fever. And the only prescription ... is more cowbell!
