For instance, New Belgium requires its beer to be cold from the brewery to the store. This means cold storage and refrigerated trucks. Most breweries require OOC beer to be bought back (a cost often shared by the brewery) because they don't want people drinking old beer and hating it. Especially because many people won't know it's old; they'll just think that brewery makes bad beers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615167450635521323.post-62952465960223626872016-01-24T20:01:20.882-06:002016-01-24T20:01:20.882-06:00You are correct about one thing and one thing only...You are correct about one thing and one thing only.

Sounds to me like you have two arguments, I'm going to focus on one of them.<br /><br />Arbella is a company that sells a product to its customers. According to your argument you want to be able to go into a grocery store (a company that sells product to customers) purchase a gallon of milk. You then start to use a portion of that milk, then when you don't use all of it before it expires, you want to be able to return that to the company that sold it to you?<br /><br />Let me break it down a little bit more in case you don't understand how that corresponds to your argument.<br /><br />You think Arbella is a bad company because it doesn't buy back out of date product from a retailer. So you must hate Hiland roberts and voice your displeasure with them as well. Let's say a retailer orders milk from Hiland they don't sell it all, roberts should be responsible for the stores inability to sell what THEY ORDERED? By your argument you hate 99% of the company's out there and I hope you choose not to do business with any of them, good luck<br /><br />I have had dealings with what you refer to as the "big 3" on a retail level, which I'm assuming you mean quality, premier, and j bros. there is nothing like coming into work to find stacks of beer liquor or spirits in your store that you didn't order and won't sell. I can't speak of Arbella as I have never dealt with them. If quality and premier wouldn't do that, they wouldn't have a need to "buy back" product.<br /><br />Yes I am aware my argument is going to do nothing to change your mind, but if you would like to discuss why bud, and Miller have set a standard of operation that is ridiculous I would be more then happy to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615167450635521323.post-43261871265305265142016-01-23T22:16:36.204-06:002016-01-23T22:16:36.204-06:00Also, lol you "run" this "blog"...Also, lol you "run" this "blog" and you don't even know that Arbella and RNDC don't buy back out of code beer.
