Mountain Goat Brewery, Corner North & Clark Streets, Richmond, Victoria 3121 Call 03 9428 1180
We have no idea what the street value of Hightail Ale is, but man, its going to plummet this week. The other day we sent a big pile of it to RRR for one of their radiothon events. Normal, run of the mill despatch of beer… Not so much.
About ten minutes after the beer left we got a call from the courier company (who will remain nameless) to say that …”um, well, err, how do I say this…the beer’s been stolen!”
The driver had parked the van, left it running, gone in to get directions and wham-o, van gone. 20 cases of beer. Gone. Fast thieves who like craft beer. Who’d have thunk.
So, please, if you know anything of the whereabouts of our beer, we’re offering a reward for its return - no questions asked.
If you’re offered cheap Hightail from the back of a van - don’t encourage these people, tell them to give it back to us.
When you next buy your six pack of Hightail, be sure of your sources. It could be hot.
Err… don’t the courier company offer some sort of guarantee? I know, for sure, I wouldn’t be keeping a van, unlocked, with the engine running, with a huge load of sweet, sweet hightail in the back.
For the next few months, I’ll buy Surefoot only. (Which is probably what I would’ve done anyway).
And to the thief, Earl J Hickey will be out to get you.
Damn, they beat me too it!
Take it as a compliment!
