But you can't be fined or suspended for having them, and you can file paperwork to get them back."<br /><br />Completely agree with the previous post... it's obvious that it matters not one wit whether you're actually in compliance... the only thing that matters is whether or not the PLCB and BLCE think you're in compliance. The ability to get your beer back some months later, especially given how perishable some of these beers are, is hardly a remedy in a case like this. If I were a beer bar or restaurant, I'd think twice about carrying any vintage beer from a now defunct brewery.<br /><br />Also, assuming the PLCB can suspend a beer bar's license for carrying beer they think isn't properly registered (which I infer is possible based on your blog), what does one have to do to convince them they've made a mistake and, more to the point, how long would it likely take to show them the error of their ways? Again, it doesn't seem to matter whether or not a beer bar is actually in compliance, but only whether or not the PLCB thinks they are.John M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-11531599513631011092010-03-10T17:17:21.647-05:002010-03-10T17:17:21.647-05:00"....and you can file paperwork to get them b..."....and you can file paperwork to get them back"<br /><br />What unventilated warehouse in August would you be picking these beers up at? This is a bureaucracy of the slowest and stupidest sort one would be dealing with. I wouldn't feel good about it at all.AVBnoreply@blogger.com
