How about a word from our friend, Shane the beer buyer?

Need a cappuccino? Look in the beer singles cooler. Lagunitas cappuccino stout is brewed with real cappuccino and is rich malty,strong and delicious.

www.ratebeer.com gives it a 91% rating for good reason. Only $3.99 a bottle
This special beer is one of Shane's favorites.

I hope that you have a great week. I'll be out of town next week, so this will be my last e-mail of the year! I really appreciate the positive feedback I get from these e-mails and I thank you all for your reading it! I also thank you for your incredible support of the co-op! We wouldn't be anything without you!

Happy New Year!
See you next year!
