Random Beer Thoughts

The only commercial playing on my Hulu is about Goose Island. God damn I can't get away from this ******* brewery.

That's what you get.

No, the scratched paint is only on that side and you might be able to see in that pic that the area where the scratched paint is is closer to the bottle than the rest of the cap (the crown is compressed where the scratched paint it). The pic isn't that important, but he asked for a pic. You could see and feel the difference better in person.

The guy admitted to recapping it, it's recapped.

yeah wait im confused why you're as cool as you are with this....i didn't know you actually had confirmation that it was recapped, more was looking for a pic to actually try to help confirm the recapping but if he straight up told you id be ******* furious...

**** happens. I got scammed. I lost money. He's not going to give me my money back. I'm not gonna dox him. There's nothing I can do except remind you guys to be careful because there are some scumbags out there...

Okay. What the ****?!
How are you being so cool about this?

I saw arren 's quoted text, but it didn't match what you had posted and thought he doctored it.


His info would be posted everywhere I could possibly think of if it was me in your shoes.


















Any interest in ocean front property? It's currently located in Arizona, but relocation is possible in a couple years.

i mean obviously up to you, but he literally stole from you and you're still going to protect him? sure, you're warning people that **** happens, but why not warn people about a very real person who has legit ****** you over and could do the same to others? i feel bad for what happened to you but honestly why wouldn't you out a dude who ******* stole from you?

any idea if he posts here?

Everybody, keep in mind – the ******* in question also has beerman’s phone number, and therefore could potentially find ways to make beerman’s life a living hell if he wants to.

lol all the FT: whiskey, ISO: Rare/Prop posts

What if, he PM'd all of us his number?

Speculation, not advice.

He could very easily make up a story and dox beerman. I’ve seen many, many instances of internet mob hysteria gone wrong. My only point is that you have to be super careful about how you approach this.

Sam Adams is all over my Pandora feed lately, explaining the difference between American, German, and British hops.

The obvious way to resolve this issue is to go toe to toe in the Treehouse parking lot.

Amen.

Can we pin this somewhere?

Hey, that's my site, glad you're enjoying it. Haven't officially released it yet because I'm still working on the design (which is why it looks crappy now), hoping for an official launch 1Q 2016. The search crawlers have picked it up in the meantime apparently. If anyone has any questions or suggestions feel free to PM me. Cheers.

This is one of the few beer related things that I wouldn't fault someone for starting a fistfight over

The fact that you seem so fine and content with this guy taking advantage of you and ******* you in the ass drives me insane.

I don't think he's "fine" or "content" about it. I think he's looked at it rationally and decided that there's not a lot to be done about it. It's gray market ****, so it's not like the cops can do anything. With only his phone number, he's got limited options outside of the aforementioned doxing without possible repercussions that are worth far more than the money spent on this beer. If he had a BA/TB/RB/facebook/Reddit user name, or hell, even a picture of the dude, he could put out "this guy royally ****** me over" messages. But he doesn't.

It sucks but it's a risk that we all take when trading or buying.

 

[RedCoffee]

Is there any way to reverse-lookup his phone number and get basic info like name/address/etc? Probably not easy, but if possible that does the job right there.

The guy has admitted to defrauding him. It's possible that given the low stakes the cops won't care, but I think it's worth filing a police report at the very least.

 

[Der Fuchs]

Apparently Fedex doesn't let you change your delivery address until you've lived at the new location for at least 90 days? So I guess I won't be able to request holds or whatever through my Fedex account for three. whole. *******. months.

Wow, I could have sworn it was the year 2015 and not 1915 with this kind of nonsense.

Odd. I changed an addy with them a week after moving.

Since Hollywood is re-making all kinds of movies with SUPER ****** 2.0 versions. . .

Would be cool to see this plot, but instead of revenge for murder/sexual assault, it is some criminal syndicate getting its comeuppance for rewaxing/recapping bottles of Rare/Assassin/KBBBBBBS or whatever. Law enforcement beauracracy too busy/indifferent to the plight of neckbeard, neckbeard takes the law into his own hands. Would be cool parallel scenes where the guy would stroll the streets fake drunk, trying to bait muggers as he staggers around holding bottles of M and Wooden Hell etc. . .

Sorry man, my bad for recapping it.

To make it up to you, any interest in a rewaxed KBBS or a rare bottle of Schramm's Durian mead?

Y'know, sometimes it's OK to not want to deal with the responsibility of organizing an angry internet mob.

 

[litheum94]

Eh don't feel like finding screens hits but suffice it to say it has gone like this.

Bourbon County gets released.
Bourbon groups get bombarded with FS and FT Bourbon County (specifically Rare) posts.
Admin bans Bourbon County posts.
Bourbon guys get ahold of BCBS.
Bourbon guys drink BCBS out of frosted mugs, say it sucks, post drain pour pics.
Beer nerds complain that you shouldn't drink it that way, "use a snifter!" "Let it warm up!" Ect...
Bourbon guy gets fed up with being told what to do, posts video of drinking Pappy 23, over ice, with Pepsi.
Everyone loses it.

I'd lose it too.

Coca Cola is clearly the better choice for Pappy.

 

[litheum94]

Mods, can we just merge this with the BCBS thread? Cause I can't tell which thread I'm reading any more.

What'll you do if you see him at another event? My experience is the beer community, while growing, isn't that big and the odds of seeing him again are pretty decent?

I vote you "spill" a beer on him. Something really sticky.

Or steal something of his, like his woman or man.

 

[RedCoffee]

Jesus Christ man! Tone down the aggression! He brazenly conned a guy out of a lot of money. The last guy who tried that trick got drug through the internet ringer of doom and practically became a meme. Now you want to come and advocate for assaulting the man with sticky liquid? Calm down, Hitler.

I don't know what the purpose of reporting it to us is if you don't plan to actually report anything useful on the issue. All I learned is that if I want to blatantly **** someone in the ass on beer, do it like half-ass anonymously.

Stillwater is contract brewing in Colorado now? When did that happen?
