BOTM: DECEMBER

In case anyone missed my calls, just a reminder:
-Beer of the Month for December is ready for pick-up.

-I am going to try to organize a mailing list of BOTM subscribers, to avoid these monthly phone calls. It might take a little while, but I will keep you posted. I would also encourage all BOTM subscribers to sign up for the blog. I always post release dates here.

-Because many people will be out of state/on vacation during late December and early January, we will be releasing January's Beer of the Month in mid-December.

-Feel free to contact the store with any questions.

cheers,

dave

NEW: THE ABYSS

The Abyss is finally here again. Quantities are limited, so reserve one while you can. They are also stocked on the shelf, so if you're fast, you might be able to grab one. Like the Firestone 12, this one was really limited, so we are limiting to 1 bottle per customer.
To Beer of the Month Subscribers: I usually don't like to let people know what Beer of the Month is before they pick it up, but I thought you might like to know that one of the featured beers is THE ABYSS. So if you are a Beer of the Month subscriber, you get an Abyss without having to run around and try to reserve bottles.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am expecting Goose Island Bourbon County Stout tomorrow, probably in the late afternoon. It's one of my favorite barrel-aged strong ales, and I reccomend everyone give it a try while it's around. There will be a post tomorrow to confirm its arrival.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In our continued efforts to expand, we just added another two shelves, which will soon be full of fantastic beer. I'm still looking for suggestions for breweries and beers people want to see at Healthy Spirits. Let me know!

cheers,

dave

FIRESTONE WALKER 12: READ CAREFULLY!!!

We recieved a VERY small amount of the Firestone Walker 12. We would love for everyone to be able to get a bottle, but it looks like its just not going to pan out that way. So here's what we're going to do:
Subscribers to our Beer of the Month Club will have the first opportunity. We are limiting to 1 bottle per customer. Beer of the Month subcribers will have 3 days to claim a bottle. If you can't pick it up right away, leave your name with someone at the store, and it will be held for you for up to a week.
After Beer of the Month people have their shot. The first people to respond will get the bottles. Limit 1 per customer. I think this is the most fair way to proceed, considering we recieved very few bottles.

cheers, and good luck.
