[MKOB] Lazy Magnolia

[Michael Berman]

If you ever see Quelque Chose by Unibroue there, get it.  It is a cherry ale that they don't make a whole lot of, but I was exposed to it when I lived in the Detroit area and traveled to Toronto frequently for business.  I know they still make it, but I don't think they're exporting it.
