Anyone Ever Got Into Trouble

[AngelTearsOnMyTongue]

Ive also got a keg sitting at home from a defunct brewery, where am I supposed to return it to?

I can PM you an address to which you could forward it if you like......

I just hope for the sake of all of us that they catch these scum bags and PUNISH THEM to the full extend of the LAW.

Geez Fingerlickin. You've got a big job ahead of you if you start correcting spelling on this forum.... :blink:

I think that the bottom line is if you choose to use a keg as a mashtun, then it might be prudent not to post pics on AHB, as I'd daresay AHB will soon start erasing them, as they would anything else that contains illegal content.

Yep... And then we delete all posts from people who purify water, and delete posts of anyone who has involved a minor as an apprentice brewer....

In the interests of OH&S, lets run a safety check over GL's gravity assisted counter-balanced boiler assembly. If It's not up to standard, we may have to remove those posts as well, lest anyone injure themselves copying it.

(BTW, I reckon it is a great innovation GL)


Gee I am glad I live in a free country......

Exactly the reason you dont see too many 'double digit' members here anymore........moral crusaders and 're-runs' (This thread suffers from both)


Hopefully the mods will remember the roots of this forum...fun and frivolity


And to keep it on topic....so far???.....no-one here has owned up to having been busted.............YET

And its only stolen if there is no intention of returning said item...it just misappropriation of property.......and we ALL intend on returning them when we're finished with them
B) :super:

I guess we better get back on topic.

Now!! Here's a (perhaps) legal argument for you all. Kegs have the name of the brewery stamped on them, as do milk crates. My friend and I were having a few quiet brews at the local Belgian, and we began talking about the glasses, and how pubs give out glasses with tapped beverages.

I purchased a Leffe Brune, mate purchased a Leffe Blonde. Barman washed some Leffe glasses, filled them, cut them, etc. and eventually handed us 2 glasses full of tasty beverage. We handed over some precious currency and the deal was done. We paid money for beer, we were given a beer in a glass (a very nice one at that).

Mate decided to put the glass in his bag as we left, barman came out as we left, noticed only 1 glass on the table and requested the other glass off my mate, who reluctantly gave it back.

I thought about it after. No, there were no signs explaining the glasses belong to the bar. No, the barman didn't say "these are our glasses don't take them off the premises". If I bought a blender at a store, am I required to send the box back so they can put another blender in it and sell it? Nope.

Would've loved to have argued the point with the guy but I was too busy trying not to laugh at my mate as he pulled a Leffe glass out his bag in the middle of the street.

Should all of this "guilt" about using brewery-owned kegs and milk crates be applied to pilfered-glasses as well?

Sorry Adam, but there is one huge hole in your argument.

The kegs don't just have the name stamped into them, just like milk crates don't.

For example, a CUB keg would also read something like "Property of Carlton and United Beverages Ltd"...usually stamped into the top dome h34r:

PZ.

 

[Adamt]

Nope, that's my point!

Glasses from pubs don't have "Property of Belgian Beer Cafe, Ltd." like kegs/crates do.

What if you cut the top dome off and send it back to them?

I'm being friggen pedantic but that's all I think of this topic, the milk crates in particular; THEYRE BLOODY MILK CRATES!

[doglet]

Kieran Perkins wrote his name on some milk cartons.....do we send the empties back to him??

 

[Fingerlickin_B]

Well, call me an obfuscator, but someone paid to have these items produced and intended on having them returned.

I'm not arguing for or against the whole keg/milk crate "re-use" thingjust being as annoying as I can with regards to specifics :lol:

Yep, and I am HAHB right now :chug:

I just went and checked out near my shed and I didnt see anyone snooping around but these legal types can be pretty sneaky.:unsure:

I think Im gonna bury my keg in the back yard and only dig it up to brew. h34r:

Now, it is quite obvious to anyone who has been to a bar that you are paying for the contents of the glass, and not the glass itself. There have been posts in the past with people making a point that our warning label obsessed culture (fed by litigation) is getting a little out of hand- and you are saying that pubs should have a sign up telling people that the glasses belong to them and are not included as part of the beer price??

 

[Adamt]

Well, as I said, my friend and I hadn't just had that single beverage that afternoon, lol.

I'm not saying pubs should have a sign up or anything, but the way our culture is heading I wouldn't be surprised to see something as silly as that.

I think the point is sometimes I just think way, way too much. :blink:

I belive the beligum beer cafe in melbourne takes a deposit for some of there glasses

 

[big d]

I believe the more expensive glass requires the deposit of either your left or right shoe.

If I leave my tools out in the back of a ute, and they get pinched, the insurance company would call this contributary negligence.
If pubs leave expensive kegs on the footpath, then this is the same thing.
Our AHB resident ambulance chaser might like to comment on that one.

How about "posession is nine tenths of the law" then?

 

[Weizguy]

... or the saying, " It's only illegal if you get caught".

I recall that I've been subject to dubious arguments on a similar thread in the past, so I refuse to have an opinion.
Suffice it to ask that if the price of keg loss was figured into the cost of the product, would the commodity price decrease if pilfering ceased? I think not.
