Happy new Year 2010 to all the brew masters, brewers, brew enthusiasts and beer drinkers all over the world. May your throughts never run dry.
Some of you guys probably watched Futurama, the show about the future, about Fry, and yes, about Bender, the beer drinking robot. Bender Bending Rodríguez is drinking that much beer that ones can get envious. And he even doesn’t get drunk! The question for the brewers is: Why not combining brewing with this favourite futuristic robot? Don't think you can't, because you can! There is a project around called The Bender Brewer Project which builds a live size Bender statue with storage for a keg or a fermentation vessel in the inside. There is always beer around and it looks cool in your kitchen.
In the old days it wasn’t even not enough to have just a brew master to sign off, you also must have had the right granted by the authorities to brew at a specific place, it was called the "brew right". It was not possible to just open a brewery somewhere, only at places with "brew right" you where able to brew…

On the 20th of October I got a good quotation from Auer Packaging about their F13 crates. We then ordered some of them. When the proforma invoice came in we realized that we made a mistake, the invoice included the shipping which we didn't need. I send Auer Packaging an e-mail and told them that I'm sorry and asked for an invoice without shipping. On the 27th of October I heard back from Auer that they have sold all their F13 and that there is no new production date in sight. On the 6th of November they told me that they will come back to me on the 9th of October with a new production date. Monday the 9th passed by and I got no new production date. On the 12th of November I asked again but it still didn't get an answer. As we need this crates I rang them on the 18th of November, complaining about what's happening. I was told that I was already talking to the key accountant of the company and that this will be the only person solving this issue. Wow...
From my point of view this is somehow not good enough. I rely on them and without good communication I, as a customer, are somewhere alone in the dark. If there is no yes or no from the company selling the goods I don't know what to do. As there is no intention in selling I have to check another company.
UPDATE: After days of complaining we now received a new offer for another crate type for the same price.
UPDATE 2: We decided to stay with the original crates and wait for the production date
