My Halloween Santa is truly a gentleman and a scholar.

The box was heavier than I had anticipated...there was also something rattling in the box... "What could it be?!" I ripped into the box to find a thoughtful note from my SS... and beer!

He hooked me up with one of the best Halloween treats I've ever had: a six pack of a deliciously complex brew, ZOMBIE DUST, and an aged bottle of Bourbon Barrel Aged 'PUMPCAN' ALE.

The rattling was a few screws in an empty plastic bottle... good trick there.

My birthday was last week, So I shared the brews with a couple of close friends. We definitely put those zombies to rest! I'll be sharing the ale with a friend of mine this weekend where I'll be officiating his wedding... I'm really looking forward to it.

Here's to you TheRealLukeG! You sir, are quite excellent. I look forward to trading with you in the future!
