Message PMgep beers 337 º places 80 º 09:41 Wed 7/22/2015 My guess is that it’s to conceal any sound of liquid. And of course to make popcorn with! Nice haul!

Message Gurthnar beers 12217 º places 22 º 09:43 Wed 7/22/2015 Ah, that is a clever trick :D I did not know that people do that, what is the reason?
Message Lowenbrau P beers 5866 º places 432 º 13:37 Wed 7/22/2015 So i finally got my package! A really nice selection of german brews, some of them in my want list, plus some scottish one.
