Well, I have to admit there are very few I am liking more right now than dear old Ian in Alberta who, noting I did not think you could get Scotland's BrewDog in Canada, wrote me this:
Since I've enjoyed your blog and after reading about your sad lack of BrewDog beer in Eastlakia I'd like to help. I am offering to send you 4 bottles of BrewDog as a little "thank-you" for your work. If you send me an address, I'll mail you a bottle of Punk IPA, Physic Amber, Riptide Stout and Paradox. It may take some time (hey, I am busy guy - this e-mail took 40 minutes to complete) and I'll be putting our fate in the hands of Canada Post, but its the least I can do...No need to reciprocate. This is a "thanks for the blog" gift.No - the least you could do, Ian, is zippo, nothing, nada. Which means now I am all a flutter waiting to see if and when and how this shows up. And while I have to admit that the increasing readership is pretty great - up to over 4200 visits midweek most days - you can't argue with the wee free gifties in the mail.
So thanks...and I hope that is a true inspiration to each and every one of the rest of you!!!

We'll see what we can do....
Will you face lengthy periods in the salt mines if you are caught receiving alcohol in the mail from abroad?

Hey - just kidding and, anyway, you've done your bit.

Don't mean to pry, but which Paradox?

I will let you know as the parcel arrived at my house this morning.

The FX Matt brewery (Saranac) in Utica is on fire. Looks bad.
