I was waiting for someone to ask your questions.
Do I care ? no, just curious
Turn them in? Hell no
But you can bet next time I go there, I am going to ask them. As should everyone else just so they know what the law is, instead of saying, "I think"

Love me some samples! My LHBS samples on Saturdays, usually has 8-10 beers out to try, all of the same style for comparison. Great to hang out, drink some beer, and shoot the ****....and learn some stuff.

Of course this almost impossible to prove. The ABC knows this... thus the law that no business can give out "free" alcohol without the proper license.

Actually most HBS that I know formulate their own recipe kits, then serve those recipe kits on draft. And yes there si some markup in recipe kits, but they're already brewing them up to test them out, why not share some with a prospective customer to sway them to try to buy a kit. Marking up grains is dangerous because you can chase customers elsewhere. |
