Mega-swill brewer says: "You entice people to take your brand by offering something that they can't get from their brand regularly, for example a T-shirt in the box or in this case, it's $5 coupons," he said.

But, the microbrewer says: "We're out of beer. It's been a crisis year for us because we can't keep up with demand at all," he said. "It's been a terrific summer. It could've been more terrificker if I had more beer to sell."

In the back of my refrigerator I found the beer I will celebrate Labor day with
Thomas Hardy's Ale 2008 No. T 24231 Edition
A beer that has it's own edition number has to be great.
On the bottle:
In The Trumpet-Major Harfy wrote:
"It was the most breatful colour that the eye of an artist in beer could desire; full body, yet brisk as a volcano; piquant, yet without a twang; luminous as an autumn sunset"
This is a 11.7% Alc/Vol
brewed and bottled by O'Hanlon's Brewing Co. LTD.
Whimple, Devan, England

I don't remember where I got this or when but on Monday it will be gone...

I think I'll have one with you! A couple of years ago, I found a 4 pack of Thomas Hardy's Ale (in Evansville) 2005 date. I had one then and put the other 3 away to collect dust in the basement for a while. Actually forgot about them. 5 years old now, time to crack one open.

[Don]

Do they all have an Edition # on them?

[JohnD]

Yes. The 2005 is No. P33516 and has foil on the cap amd a medallion on the bottle neck similar to yours. The carton call Thomas Hardy's Ale "the rarest ale in Britain". 8.5 fl. oz. bottle. 11.7% ABV.

Beer 4 Boobs Upcoming Events!
Beer 4 Boobs? That's right- drink beer and save boobies. It's that easy. Lisa White founded the Beer 4 Boobs team in 2007 and this will be their 3rd time walking in the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure, a fundraising event where participants cover a 60 mile hike in just 3 days as they raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer.

We know you don't need a reason to drink beer, but maybe you need an excuse for your spouse, or your boss, or that diet you're trying hard to stick to (we won't tell). Here it is! Drinking beer at the Beer 4 Boobs upcoming events will help to raise money for charity!

Check out the team's website and go to their events page to see if you can make it to any of the events. You can also donate by clicking on the donation link under- How You Can Help. We thank you for your support!
