Got a keg, riddled with guilt...

Hi Nebben,
I am also a Utahrd and know the liquor laws of which you live under. One thing you forgot to mention is we can only get the watered down beer on tap in the bars. So with this in mind this keg did not even come from a bar in Utah. I can't even imagine anywhere within a 200 mile radius that would have Guinness on tap. At the least you would have to cross a border for find a distributor.

Call around and see if the NV or WY distributor is interested in it and is willing to pick it up. If not it is safe to say you own the keg.

BTW I work in transportation and was in Idaho a month or so ago, and saw a keg in front of a thrift store on the way to the crew apartment. I went back when it was open and got a keg for $5. If it makes you feel better I will trade you my keg for a cool Guinness one.

"Current deposit amounts in California are about $15 per keg" Not around these parts of Kalifonia. $50 accrossed the board, BMC to SN.

$15 is what breweries charge the distributors, who charge the retail stores/bars a higher fee, retail store will then charge the customer even more. Bringing us up to $35-50. This way if you keep the keg, the store and distributor are covered, but the brewery suffers. If breweries were to raise their deposit, it could end up costing more than the beer itself.

Guinness Draught is barely over 4%.

If you are going to apply an ethical argument to something, you'd better apply it all the way across the board. If you find $10 bucks in the store, do you pocket it or try to return it? Is it OK to steal music online because the RIA is a bunch of thugs, but then it's wrong to get a keg that has been sitting in someone's garage for ten years?

You cannot in good faith say that it's not OK to steal from an industry you like, but totally OK to steal from one you despise.

Copyright infringement != stealing.

There needs to be a victim for there to be stealing. In this case, its the brewery. Downloading copyrighted music is only stealing if you were going to buy it, and now aren't.

Now, I don't think its really okay, but they're hardly even related.
