LIC Bar ...... Bring Back the Belhaven PLEASE!!!!!

Bryan,
It’s Eric here in LIC. I am amazed that me and my fellow patrons of your wonderful neighborhood bar, are once again subjected to the unjust removal of the finest tap beer available in a bar (aside from Guinness of course).
We had this conversation last summer after you decided to stop serving Belhaven. I pleaded my case to you and you were convinced to put it back in the line-up.
As I told you last summer, I had brought many people in to your establishment to introduce them to this wonderful product and effectively turned them all into Belhaven drinkers.
Aside from Daniella and Collum’s Quiz night, Belhaven is what I look forward to the most.
When there is no Belhaven available, I will always move to the Tetley’s. Now I understand you will no longer be serving Tetley’s. This is truly devastating to me and my Brethren.
There is one more reason I am so passionate about this crisis. Just over three years ago, you may remember discussing this, I underwent a full gastric bypass. As it was very successful with about 250lbs. lost from 456lbs., my ability to drink beer was put to a complete stop. This was and is due to the CO2 content condemning my love for beer consumption. Even now, if I try to drink regular beer out of a bottle or keg, I must do what I can to release the gas from the beverage. This often includes the embarrassing act of stirring the beer with a spoon over and over. This, to me, is a clear violation of beer drinkers’ decorum. This often times does not get enough of the gas out and I am soon subject to major gas pain.
You see, it’s the pour I love and the drinkability and flavour that keep me coming back for more, and if you ask any you wonderful Barkeeps,
A LOT MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a devoted and loyal patron to your establishment almost since the beginning and plan to remain this way as long as you’re around. The LIC Bar is the only Pub I frequent.
Please return this product to your roster and I will promise to keep drinking plenty and introducing the newbies to its graces.
If it is a cost issue, I would gladly pay a premium for this brew. As it stands, Guinness is the only thing I can consume and it’s not what I want to drink all the time.

So in closing Sir, I beg you to hear my plea.
God Bless you, your family, the LIC Bar and of course, Belhaven Scottish Ale.
Thank you for you consideration and compassion in this matter.

Your devoted, humble patron,

Eric Graham
Long Island City, New York
