Beer Horror Stories

He'd be dead!

 

I have tried that beer. it is terrible!

 

how is it not? you thought you were getting beer and you received tripe!

 

"Terrible" is being a bit kind. I don't think I've used the word "putrefaction" in any other review.

 

Csb...about a month ago I dropped a bottle of le petite mort on the sidewalk on my way home from the store. It was in a plastic bag. I I seriously contemplated drinking the dregs in the bag but chickened out at the prospect of swallowing glass

 

Early college days. One of my friends was a complete cop magnet. Two of my friends went to Everett to get beer, which was a subway ride and a short walk (across a bridge) from Cambridge. The reason they went there was because the local stores were barren -- BMC in 12 different varieties. I stayed back to cook, so missed all the fun. As they were coming back across the bridge to catch a train home, a cop pulls over and demands IDs. He then proceeds to confiscate both cases of Guiness and Sam Adams. Party night at the precinct!

 

Walking into the Home Liquors in Verona, NJ. Seeing two cases of Westy, one red cap the other yellow cap and not buying any. Three days later all gone.

 

Years ago I left 4 KBS sitting on the shelf because I refused to pay $5 a bottle. At that time you actually could find this stuff sitting on a shelf, Vortex was on the shelf too, I blame BA for guys standing in line, and for following trucks as they make their drops.

 

Easy answer to the patron, it's not a beer, it's a mixed drink...sheesh that would be like someone encouraging adding "boxed wine" to a wine list. Both of which are @ the top of your local drugstore's beer & wine list...

 

Went to use the restroom at a party back in college. Lifted up the toilet seat, and there it was, taped to the inside of the lid.... a Smirnoff Ice.

 

Fortunately this didn't happen to me but I really felt bad for the guy when I heard this. A customer where I work told me he had a case or two of Westy in his garage refrigerator and that a bunch of teenagers broke in and stole it all. The obvious part that sucks is they stole all his Westy. The second part that sucks is they more than likely had no clue what Westy is an was expecting something like Bud Light and didn't drink it and appreciate like it should be.

 

To paraphrase W.C. Fields: Forgot the bottle opener on my last camping trip; was forced to live on food and water for an entire week.

 

Smoked a bowl. forgot it happened til now

 

I brought a bottle of PtE back from Colorado with me. While unpacking my vehicle, it fell on the driveway and shattered. I seriously considered getting down on all fours with a straw and salvaging what I could. This was about 2 years ago, and I still get upset when I think about it.

 

I forgot to mention this was early fall 1985. Today those losses would not have amounted to much

 

Bought my friend an Iron City Light as a joke for his birthday. One sip each. DRAINPOUR!!!

 

You are more of a beer snob then I am or a cheap skate!

 

The only way for stores to defer this type of behavior is to not let these goons buy anything until it's in their inventory after the invoice is entered and it scans. It takes a few hours typically. Let them wait if they wish, but they're not getting it a second earlier.
