Too silent victims of dumbass policy.

They should take a few photos of some guy in full camo with an AR standing in front of the tanks, in case a terrorist comes. If a terrorist wants to poison my beers, well, he definitely knows how to get me. I could even know it's been poisoned. I think Homer simpsons said it best: "Ah beer, my only weakness - my Achille's heel if you will." I agree with Greig.

Yes, the big bad terrorists are everywhere. Sheesh. Get OVER it. Actually, this could work for me. I live in New Zealand, we pretty much reside at threat level "Polluted". As a personal favour to you all, I'm more than happy to take all your beer, and keep it here... you know, for safety, yeah, safety! ;) This is simultaneously the funniest and saddest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

I think beer drinkers need protection from any brewery that makes an Amber Ale than the brewery needs safeguarding against terrorists. This is insane.

It's like locking the restrooms at underground BART stations, or the posting of soldiers on the approaches to the bridges. If someone wanted to do something, they'll do it. Knowing how particular beer and wine makers are about testing their products, the chances of anything going out to the public are almost nil. What a waste of money. Wonder how many teachers could be paid with teh money they waste on this junk. Seems like they don’t have anything better to do.

We went through something similar when the government showed up at our shop looking for PESTICIDES. Seriously. Apparently anti-microbiables qualify as pesticides and they singled out our sodium metabisulfite (a staple for making wine) and our StarSan. 4 months and an uncountable number of calls to suppliers, government agencies and legal counsel, this was finally resolved by changing the labels so that they didn't imply that they were killing those pesky microbes and we were safe. Why did they single us out??? No bloody clue. While I’m all for regulation, stuff like this is just ridiculous.

I think I'd call a few lawyers before ponying up 15k for a fence and some glass. Jimmy Man, I get angry just reading stuff like this.
