Hi - I'm looking to send some Mythos over to New Zealand and wonder if you know of a supplier and/or who could ship some over. It's just 1 or 2 crates I'm looking for as a gift … nothing commercial or similar.

Stephen,
I've been a regular visitor to your site for several years now, and I always enjoy my time at World of Beer. I know that you are also a fan of fine spirits, and I've recently tried one that I must tell you about.
Recently, I purchased my first bottle of Junipero Gin from Anchor Distilling. Now, if you knew that Anchor Brewing had a distilling facility, you're up one on me. I had no idea until recently that Anchor made spirits. Loved their beer for years now - Old Foghorn rules. If you haven't tried this gin, you owe it to yourself to do so. Best gin and tonic on earth.
Thanks for your super site, once again.

I'm no stranger to Junipero, or Anchor's whiskeys, for that matter. As a matter of fact, if you pick up last month's (Aug./Sept.) issue of Saveur, you can read my profile of Anchor's Fritz Maytag, including a bit of the story behind the distillery.
On the subject of gin, if you haven't already, I'd also suggest you try the Scottish spirit, Hendrick's Gin. Certainly more subtle and sublime than Junipero; a completely different style, really. Leave the tonic aside.
dear mr beaumont,
i drove by your shop earlier today by chance and i noticed that you obviously carry beers from all around the world...well i was wondering if you happen to also carry the berliner weissbier with either the raspberry or woodruff flavored syrup? if you do happen to carry this about how much does it go for?? if you don't, would you happen to know of possibly someone in this general area who might carry it? thanks for any an all help.

I'm afraid that you have my e-zine mixed up with the Florida beer retailer, with whom I am not at all affiliated. However, I can tell you the that the Berliner Kindl Weisse is imported by a company called B. United. Contact them through www.bunitedint.com.
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE HANDLES ON YOUR BEER CASES REALLY SUCK.
WHEN CARRYING IN MY GROCERIES, THE HANDLE ON A CASE OF SLEEMAN DRAUGHT LET GO, WIPING OUT 5 BEER IN ONE DOZEN.
NEEDLESS TO SAY THE AIR WAS QUITE BLUE FOR A WHILE.
BUT YOUR BEER IS EXCELLENT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO BUY YOUR BRANDS. YOU JUST NEED TO IMPROVE ON YOUR CASES.

Ummm, Gord, while I appreciate your frustration, I have nothing to do with Sleeman.
