      <![CDATA[Umm, no?<br>
<br>
It'd be one thing if Boulevard went to the trouble of making a second round of Chocolate Ale and no one bought it. I can see Boulevard feeling let down by its customers not putting their cash where their mouths were.<br>
<br>
It's another thing to make a product limited in availability and then complain when customers get made that they couldn't obtain it.
