Message Odeed beers 1812 º places 15 º 18:49 Wed 10/31/2007 Originally posted by cquiroga I hope I’m not the only person who is now worried and wants to go check his stash of BA AleSmith beers to see if they’ve been duped. And I WAS there at the release. so far i cracked an old numbskull and it was in fact barrel aged.

Also Dude, let’s not forget, let’s not forget that keeping wildlife, um... an amphibious rodent, for...um, you know domestic...within the city...that ain’t legal either. lol,that was the first thing i thought when i read that post.....classic!
Message aspidites beers 1271 º places 1 º 19:09 Wed 10/31/2007 This is fricking ridiculous. This is so much worse than a bad trade. The jerkoff needs to be outed period, there is no excuse for faking someone else’s product. So enough with being politically correct and let everyone know the identity of the jackass responsible.

Out with it before more people get burned and this becomes a BS trend in trading.
Message DYCSoccer17 beers 3746 º places 344 º 19:33 Wed 10/31/2007 My biggest beef with the Ratebeer community is that they fail to publicly out swindlers and bad traders. Everyone is way too quick to give the benefit of the doubt in a situation that is clear-cut. We’re not scared to rip a shitty brewer’s beer, but we are scared to rip a shitty trader’s trade. It just doesn’t make sense to me. We don’t give a shitty beer or brewer the benefit of the doubt. We rate it poorly and display it to the public for all to view. How come we give traders the benefit of the doubt, but not the brewers?

I have nothing against giving the benefit of the doubt to a degree, but this is definitely one of those examples that there is no reason to be affording any benefits to the guy
Message kp beers 10877 º places 12 º 20:15 Wed 10/31/2007 Originally posted by drewbeerme Just in case there are other unknown victims, I feel a need to report that I received 3 "fake" BA AleSmith bottles in a trade recently. And if more people get burned in the future by this same guy they would have a right to hold you partially responsible for not warning them.
Message Crosling beers 1864 º places 70 º 20:29 Wed 10/31/2007 C’mon, someone out this fool. I wonder if he owned a paint marker or went to an office supply store and bought one. This was a 2-3 week plot in order to scam another ratebeerian. Completely LAME.
