Craft Beer Kings, El Monte, CA

It's clearly off topic, but since someone outed @rboinski in this thread, can he acknowledge whether he ever righted the wrongs he committed?

 

I have ordered online from CBK a couple of times, and have been very satisfied with my purchases. The prices seem to be cheaper than the other online sites, and shipping was quick too.

If we are taking about shitty business practices, don't order from Gary Blackwell. Sold the beers I ordered to other people while I was on the phone with him. The quote I got from him while he was doing it,"next time if you spend more money I will sell you the beers."

You can say I have never ordered anything from him again because of that, and the fact that his prices are higher than CBK.

 

Gary Blackwell of Gary Blackwell Beer Store?

 

Ah you fell for the "last one we have" line?

 

I'm not that naive, but I got it so I don't really care whether it was the last or not. All it proves is that he's willling to offer something that's not on the shelf to a stranger. Not one of those places where you have to know the guy.

 

Avery monks should be sitting on the shelf and you shouldn't need to ask for it.

 

Agree on that

 

Finally joining the party! Not sure why I lagged for so long, but this thread's possibly in contention for TotY 2014.

@jmerriken Since you're the OP, curious to know what your thoughts are now and whether you checked CBK's out or not.

 

@ThatOneGuyMoe is a legend, his beard could kick your ass.

 

curious, have any of you reported their shop to ABC? and if you did, did you ever hear back from them?

 

So I wonder if a relative or a known associate with CBK runs a bottle shop in Minneapolis. Since the guy did a song and dance and pony show to my college friend that tried to get me a couple bottles of Darkness today.

Long story short, she got pissed but is still hunting for bottles for me.

 

This thread is as homophobic slur deleted

 

Woah... you're just beggin to get banned, huh?

 

think he already did.

 

Success!

Now, can we put the thread back on topic?

If not, I'll lock it.

 

just lock it. their name has been well tarnished and there isn't much more to be discussed IMO!

 

but we haven't seen the results of Citra DIPA, SLOambic, and BAVSS releases yet.

 

I disagree, I think the discussion should stay open. Its entertaining at times, as well as on topic for the most part.

 

Plus their memberships are open! Get on that shit!

 

Yes. The same guy selling $15 Prairie Bomb when it is being sold at $3.59 a bottle in Georgia.
