I'm going to freddy on the 24th if you can't find something sooner.

It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Hey Jeff,
I am heading from Halifax to Saint John on Saturday morning (Dec-21), I am hoping to get to SJ in the early afternoon which would put me by Amherst around 11am or so.
If you want the drop off on Saturday, let me know.

Thanks for the offer Greg. I guess it depends on how easy it would be for you to sync up with Chris. I'm not in a huge hurry at all so definitely don't go out of your way where it is likely easier for LD to get the beer (and some grape vines) form Chris.chicanuck wrote:Hey Jeff,

Ok, no problem......LD lives close to Chris, so that does make more sense if you are not in a rush for the beer.
