Someone needs to contact the Coen brothers about this bomb squad story because it needs to be in any Big Lebowski sequel if its ever made. Simply one of the funniest beer stories ever. And can someone please confirm that the beer is ok? For God's sake, did the beer make it?!!!

Newspaper Article said:
A source tells us that it was a “suspicious package” and was detonated. It appears it wasn’t a bomb.

:(
 
Jesus, is that true? Did they actually detonate it?

Someone who encountered a navy seal online.
What the **** did you just ******* say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ******* words. You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ******. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re ******* dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little ****. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ******* tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you ******* idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re ******* dead, kiddo.

Moutela added a post on an industry Facebook page to sarcastically thank whoever was responsible for the fakery, saying it brought the company's fans and the business closer together.

That post got an immediate response -- a death threat from someone claiming to be a Navy Seal with more than 300 "confirmed kills."

Moutela realized it was a "copy and paste" threat that's been online for years, but he took it seriously.

He tracked the poster -- who lives out-of-state -- and contacted the local police. Officers showed up at the person's door and said further interactions with Moutela would bring an arrest, he said.

LOL is this guy stupid?
 
So Wakefield sold "vintage/cellar" to-go bottles (which included **** released two weeks ago) today right out of the brewery at basically secondary market prices. I was wondering when a brewery was finally going to go the whole nine yards and start doing that, as opposed to what HotD, Westbrook, TG and a few other places have done with overpriced-but-not-secondary-price vintage on-site menus and the like. That Wakefield was the first to cross the Rubicon in this respect is not surprising in the least.

EDIT: okay, so apparently the proceeds may have been for charity in which case I'll retract this statement, but that wasn't posted or communicated and it's not entirely clear if that's actually what happened.

Florida. That word is the only explanation I'll ever need when it comes to the reasoning behind ridiculous **** that happens down there in that zoo.
