Anyway, Chris brought some beer along to the wine tasting and schooled my colleagues in the finer points of beer.  He brought along Driftwood Farmhand Ale (a Belgian Saison in style) and Storm’s 12 year aged fruit lambic, two fine beers.  It was a pleasure to meet you in person Chris and thanks for sharing your goods!

Cheers,

Chris
