How often to do you get a surprise Dark Lord at your doorstep, but the excitement is overshadowed by another beer in the box? A box shows up at my office. Craig thought he was funny by covering up the label on the Dark Lord. So I unpeel the paper, and it says that another bottle was in the box. What was was it? BELLS BA DOUBLE CREAM EXPEDITION!!!! Hell fucking yeah! Thanks Craig.

I gave Craig three terrapins when I was up in Ohio a few months back. He offered to pay me, and I told him not to worry about it...to get me a beer next time I was in town. Well, he could not wait and sent me corked 750ml of Flying Dog Weizenbock!!! I have been wanting to try that for awhile. Packaged to withstand hell. Thanks again. Now I owe Craig a beer (sorry Craig, no Hofbrauhaus!)
