Well I hope you have better luck than I do. I order Craft Beers of the Pacific Northwest and Microbrewed Adventures, both ended up in the undeliverable office. The contents were missing from the package. Looks like someone at Canada Post likes craft beer.Ale's What Cures Ya wrote:I've ordered both a copy of this and a copy of The Craft of Stone Brewing Company. Can't wait for either.

I hinted the same thing, but I have little patience. Just can't wait until Christmas.boney wrote: Saw the Stone book at the same time. A very classy package and looks very cool. I showed it to my wife and strongly hinted a future Christmas gift.
That is some bad luck dude. I ordered through a brick and mortar bookstore, so if the books get lost along the way I'm not the one on the hook for it.Wray77 wrote: Well I hope you have better luck than I do.

Happy Birthday Zane! Mozel Tov!
I've had my Oxford for a while...It's a gorgeous book...not really a sit down a read thing, but an exhaustive reference for the curious...
My one grumble: two or three colour photo spreads would've been nice...but hey, still awesome...
Hope you had a great birthday today...
