Who makes a fake brewery

[blackdragon82]

Saw this tweeted this morning thought I would share

Brewery in Scranton that doesn't exist

Here's the fake breweries website Here

looks like someone is trying to get investment money and run... i guess?

 

[smokinghole]

That is strange. Maybe it's a front for a meth operation!

 

[blackdragon82]

Yeah just thought it was weird that someone would pose a brewery and try something like that. Especially in PA, we have so many old blue laws. I get pissed going to other states going to the market and seeing that they can buy alcohol there. Also you can not ship alcohol in PA. So someone wasn't doing their homework.

Smokinghole you could be right on the meth operation. I live in West Chester which is a college town and my neighbors are college renters. They were outside last weekend when I was brewing and I told them I'm making my own beer. The first response was "Oh we thought you were making drugs or something". I then proceeded to inform them about my hops plants thinking they may drunkenly confuse it with something else one night

Our laws are crazy but I think they'll get better...slowly. We have one of the best states for beer availability but the dumbest laws. Its surprising how we have such a great beer availability reputation but some of the most arcane laws.

I was just up in Berwick (hour SE of Scranton/WB) to rip carpet out of my parents house. While I was there a mobile meth lab was busted after getting stuck in some mud at a local lake parking lot.

Very true we have a lot of good breweries. And Philly is always rated one of the top craft brew cities.

Back to topic. The pics in their gallery look a lot like Oktoberfest pics now that I look, besides the scranton one of course

 

[RobWalker]

Hahah. How many beer puns can you put into one article?

 

[Gtrman13]

Pretty nice website, at least...

 

[TokyoRoad]

Does Sam Adams claiming to be a MA brewery count?

 

[blackdragon82]

Haha I think since they do actually make beer it counts, even though its not in Boston or MA for that matter

 

[DannPM]

That's awesome lol!!

 

[kinison_fan]

Maybe the characters from "The Office" have a new brewpub to hang out at in Scranton.

..."That's what she said".

 

[HollisBrewCo]

too bad they spoiled the name "electric city brewery" could have been good for someone in my hometown, Schenectady NY, the real electric city

 

[Airborneguy]

There's a bar that just opened up here that is using the name Curly Wolf Saloon and Brewery. Needless to say, no brewing operations take place there. I have no clue why they included the word in their name. They did trick me into visiting, but since I quickly realized what was going on, they didn't get a single dollar out of me.

Looks almost like a web design study - some student or company puts something together as a demo for clients. . . happens actually quite a bit.

anyone remember the penguinwarehouse.com thing that went around a while ago? Was just a concept design to show their chops to clients. . .

Might be the same thing. . .

 

[smokinghole]

That's what my actual first thought was, but the meth lab explanation was much more fun.

WTF???

Besides the spelling errors the use of some words sounds like nigerian male scammer writing. Like they can't quite grasp the nuances of the engrish language.

If this is what they're using to lure investors, I'd hate to try to proofread their business plan if they even have one.

WTF is this a real problem?

 

[iaefebs]

blackdragon is this your work? Looks very nice. When I checked earlier today the site was registered to your employer. Now it appears that the domain is listed to the soon to be brewery in Dunmore PA?

 

[erock2112]

Anyone notice how their Munich dunkel is brewed with coffee beans??

I like the idea of the money scammers being behind this. It could also be
these guys. http://www.419eater.com/

They bait money scammers and try to get them to go to intense lengths to waste their time. Could this brewery be a sting operation within their ranks?
