Handwritten notes: The best thing about this is that I got a stainless steel barbecue flipper for free with a purchase of an 8 pack. I'm not one to criticize business acumen (or any other acumen for that matter), but giving away a barbecue flipper whose value far exceeds the price paid for the beer may be poor business practice. I could see a t-shirt or a hat, because you're in essence advertising for the company. But I can count on one severed foot all of the people in the world who have ever studied closely my current barbecue flipper. Anyways, this is a light an flavourless piece of crap one step above Pabst but less appealing that toilet water.
