Did anyone get this from Mr. B?

Post by swenocha »

Random mailing from Mr. B today. First I've heard from them in ages. I guess they want me back as a customer...

Anyone else get this? Bumper sticker, crappy non-temperature telling stick-on thermometer, and free shipping coupon.

@Inkleg: If they sent me that, I'd stick a bumper sticker on my car LOL.

But alas, nothing.

Didn't get squat.
And I actually bought from them in the past few months (Autumn Seasonal ESB).
:dunno:


(Granted, if they sent me that stuff, 100% of it would have found the landfill, but still...)

Well don't that suck? Here I buy regular from them (my brother still brews MrB exclusively makes it easy to buy Christmas and Birthday gifts.) and nada.

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain

Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

That's strange. This is what I got from one of the Chuck N. Home Brewer shop:

Feel free to copy and place proudly on your vehicle.
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

I only get an occasional email from them about sales ... and the sales ain't so great.
I haven't used extracts in a long time ... but I may work some back into my rotation.

I didn't get anything, either. Getting stuff from them anymore is like pulling teeth. I mean tooth.

I got nothing. Swen must be on their favorites list to get back.

I didn't get anything either, perhaps because of the answers I gave them in their survey. I would only buy from them again if I could find the stuff at a hard to pass up deal but like Tabasco said, their sales just aren't great enough for me to bother with.
Good judgment comes from experience, which comes from poor judgment.
