Bet you can really open up that new car on the twisties when you're cruising along at 12 miles an hour

Are you Ronald McDonald?

I was told by the new guy (forget his name, super nice dude though) that it was and to keep an eye out. Wouldn't be surprised to see it up in a few hours.

The new guy is wrong. Billf is right.

Couldn't find a higher res photo?

"No matter how good the beer is inside, a $500 bottle of Westly is going to disappoint." Well put, Tim.

It is SFGate, pixels cost extra on mobile.

Is it hard to figure out who is selling and cut them off? Such a small group...

People ******* suck.

 

[jtmartino1]

Good 'ol SF Gate using the term "price gouging" pretty loosely. I guess for some, SARA is considered an essential good or commodity.

On the plus side, anyone who sells from within the club and is caught is immediately booted from the club. So there's that.

So you're saying there might be a spot opening up soon.......

Have they actually booted people before?

Yes, people selling are usually not using their real names for fear of losing their ****.

 

[AndresR]

What's funny, it's basically the same article over the decades, this time with Sante, last time was bourbon, time essay before that.......Britney Spears tix. Secondary market has.always been there.

Sadly, there are a few random locals now that just caught wind of this article and only saw the $$$$. Keep a lookout for them at Sante the next few weeks asking around for Wetsilly bottles. Guarantee they'll show up.

Not all of us work on the peninsula and have alcoholic bosses, Bro!

Hope to see you Sat!

I dont know how those sites work really since im not a piece of **** that sells beer but I had read on the other board that it 's really hard to register with a fake name. SOme dude in modern times league was selling some of that stuff and another user bought it and got payment info but didnt follow through w/ payment. forwarded that info to Modern Times and dude was booted.

Anyways.. it is what it is but some folks def know who this fuckhead is and are keeping their mouths shut.

Never sold a SARA bottle in my life, I actually respect them.

Eh, they clearly aren't the type to ban someone on an assumption or for having an opinion so I think were good here.

Thats what you said about de Garde at one point and you ended up selling their bottles.

 

[jtmartino1]

A lot of people trade their club beers, especially if they're more than 1 pp. This is usually how Sante Club-only beers get sold.

 

[coldstorage]

That's true, but someone still knows. Lots of people I'm sure.

Some snitches are heros!

 

[chemman141]

Please link me to where I said that about de Garde. To be fair though, they didn't seem like the place to ban someone on an assumption. I really do not think I ever said that though so yeah if you can link me to it I'll eat my own hat.

Wait you are suggesting that the ethics of selling beer (illegal) at nolube markups (or via razzle dazzles or whatever) is fluid and can be flip based on how much you respect the brewery?

I really dont think he knows what he is saying. It honestly just seems like he says things to get a reaction out of people. I know a couple of people who do that, they are all in High School and still act like they know everything just for reference.

How can you say what is ethical or not to me? I really don't give a **** what anyone else thinks (clearly), if someone doesn't like me I don't lose any sleep over it.

I know exactly what I am saying. I am saying that if a brewery bans someone on an assumption, or for having an opinion, I have no respect at all for them.
