Message biggsbowler beers 635 º places 22 º 16:01 Fri 2/15/2013 This is a crazy story. Is Adam James Dickinson from Fort Collins on this site. He stole a lot of beer from Avery Brewing including a case of Izzy. http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_22598750/boulder-police-former-avery-brewing-employee-stole-15
Message beersage 16:03 Fri 2/15/2013 Well link to his handle if he’s a member of this site?
Message foppa78 places 12 º 16:05 Fri 2/15/2013 Sui Generis Barrel-Aged Sour Ale valued at $300 a bottle. WHAT?
Message blklab2007 beers 2121 º places 17 º 16:08 Fri 2/15/2013 I have to wonder why there are "cases" of izzy sitting at avery

Message thome50 beers 1295 º places 34 º 16:10 Fri 2/15/2013 Originally posted by foppa78 Sui Generis Barrel-Aged Sour Ale valued at $300 a bottle. WHAT? Yeah, I was wondering that too and where they came up with these magical prices for the other beers.

Message brokensail P admin beers 21480 º places 1691 º 16:16 Fri 2/15/2013 Even Isabelle isn’t $300. Maybe half to two-thirds of that at most.

I’d also say that Isabelle and DDG would be about the same and DDG is more than $100. #beerspeculating

Message joet P admin beers 2900 º places 125 º 16:24 Fri 2/15/2013 I imagine the estimates were provided by someone who was not pleased by the actions of the alleged thief.
Message j12601 P beers 14608 º places 583 º 16:27 Fri 2/15/2013 I’d also speculate that while the first Izzy might be only $100, getting enough of them to fill back up three cases might start getting exponentially expensive.
Message lithy beers 2996 º places 156 º 16:33 Fri 2/15/2013 Originally posted by blklab2007 I have to wonder why there are "cases" of izzy sitting at avery That’s the same question that I had. I mean, we get gifts of beer from other breweries on occasion, but my guess is that some of the alleged stolen beer must have been Avery beer that was then traded for the other brewer’s beer. I have to imagine that they are going to need much better proof rather than a bunch of ’rare beer’ that this guy has to convict him unless Avery became some sort of distributor that I wasn’t aware of. Also, can we please add ’allegedly’ to the title, just a personal pet peeve.
