Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

You're brews not even on the website, =( I was going to track its stock and get an email when it was ready.

Last time I was in BC I drank at least 20 of these in one day. I've never had anything even remotely as tasty. Hope you sent out a lot, Mr. Stirling. All the IPA's that go in stock around the toronto area are gone within a week. Such a beer wasteland over here, everyone wants IPAs.

Don't make me drive to BC =( lol
