Delighted anticipation turned to stunned disbelief this morning in a Heidelberg West engineering design office, as the 3Ravens brewery “Magic Bus” visited WITHOUT DROPPING OFF ANY BEER !

Hundreds of eager office workers rushed to the windows at the sound of the beloved “slide-bang” or the venerable VW. But then - “It was jaw meets floor” said glum engineer Ben Pattison (35), describing his reaction, and that of many of his collegues, upon departure of the van. “We didn’t believe it and just kept staring out after the van, hoping it would turn around and come back.”

“We love 3Ravens beer and just can’t understand how they could do this to us” continued Peter Fitzgerald (63) a director of the engineering company. “I’m kind of hoping that they’ll read this and drop off say 3 cartons (1 Black, 1 Blond, 1 Dark) as a gesture of reconciliation”
