- Don't hold your breath for the Anchor. I heard they made only 600 cases of
- it available, so I'd imagine there's also not that much available for tapping,
- either. Heck, I haven't even seen any here in Seattle yet this year.

- My housemates and I purchased two cases of Anchor's Our Special Ale. We
- were amused when I pointed out that we acquired one-third of one percent
- of their stock of it this year. :^)
