We stared at the body below, wondering aloud what we were to do with it.

But, we were way ahead of ourselves. First, we’d have to extract the carcass from the bottom of the vessel it was dumped in. That son of a bee sting was way heavier than we anticipated. It took two of us, every ounce of muscle we had and a three-pronged rake to hack into it to help pull it up. We were determined. We were desperate, and time was of urgent matter.

Eventually, the large body stuffed into the white cloth exited the tank and flopped onto the floor. Now what? Do we burn it? Toss it in the dumpster? Tie a cement block to it and sink it in Owasco Lake? Then we started to giggle as we recalled a "Goodfellas" scene: “We’re gonna need some nice suits, a whole lot of lime and someone to cook us a huge pasta dinner after we dispose of the body. And a painting. A painting of a man and a dog in a canoe. And Joe Pesci.” We were pretty convinced Joe Pesci wouldn’t have had the same hesitations we were having.

This was the second time our polarizing brown ale, Puff Puff Shiv, was brewed. Puff is made using 50 boxes of Cocoa Puffs cereal. The first time happened by accident. And every time it’s been made since, Ben Maeso, our head brewer, swears it’s the last time.
