This is the kind of shit that needs to be made public one way or the other. Either tell him to present his side of the story here, or just out him.

There will be nothing to stop him from doing it again, and now he’ll at least not be so f’in stupid to screw up the numbering scheme so there will be one less clue as to if they’re real or not.

I trust you, Mike wink



I know people that have already traded with me will trust, but this thread will put doubt in many minds now...rightfully so.


Yep.
There is no fucking way this came from the release party.




If the trader said s/he got it directly from the brewery at the release party, is there anyone else who was there that can verify that the trader in question was actually there?


Thats what I was wondering.

What would an employee gain by doing this? A few bottles of the BA for themselves to sell on ebay or drink? I’m not sure, but I assume they can buy bottles themselves.

This person claims to have seem me and my girlfriend working at the release party, but, 1) I don’t know the person and 2)anyone who is part of this site would have known that we were going to be working the release party cause both of us mentioned it in a thread about the release party.

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. 10/31/2007 11:47:36 AM

I heard a astory a long time ago about someone taking the gold foil off of a bottle of the Grand Cru and doing this with the first batch of BA ON...it was just something in passing I think, but I wish I could remember the details now. 10/31/2007 11:48:29 AM

So what if they went to the release party? That dosent clear them at all. They went, picked up their bottles and stashed those while treading the fakes.

No one is going to say, "OH, Actually I did make those fake ones, my bad..." They’re just going to lie and say they got them at the release party.

Notice how they didnt say "I got them from trader X" because no one would be able to corroborate that.

Just out the person, there’s really not a single excuse I can think of.

I’d still trade for it.

Right, they saw you but no one saw them. If this person doesn’t dig up a solid alibi fast, I think the the ratebeer noose should be brought out!
