    I was more thinking its odd a very short term employee had access to such beers. I myself would have a vault with very limited access to the gold.

    Yes, I really appreciated the distinction between Old Crustacean Beer and Old Curstacean Barley Wine.

    A possible out for this former employee: "I was just interested in the collectible bottles, I didn't care about the contents".

    Why didn't he consume some of the evidence? I don't see the point in having a case of a certain beer and not consuming any.

    He had 4-5 months to get rid of the evidence! Who said criminals are smart?

    Sounds like a profiteer more than beer enthusiast to me.

    Cases of Izzy! wow that is pretty impressive.

    It will be hard to prove the monetary value. Not sure what amount qualifies as a felony, but since second hand beer sales are illegal I'm guessing they can only go after the purchase price?

    They said several cases of Izzy. I would imagine Adam Jackson could have fetched about 3500 a case on ebay last year...

    Didn't Avery have a clue not to hire him? I mean it's all in his last name.
