One online review says it's the first beer he's had to spit back into the glass. Pretty tame as far as internet dislike goes, right?

Well here's the owner's reply:

And his wife/gf co-owner takes criticism well also:

Let's just say they're in full backpedal apology mode right now. Gonna have to go with too little, too late on that one.

Was just coming by here to see if anyone had posted anything about them before I threw up a post in Random Beer Thoughts. Good friend lives in South Seattle (near the airport). She posted the same screenshots as Podunkparte, in addition to the five-star Yelp review the owner gave himself (this is one of the many reasons I can't stand Yelp, btw, but that's for another day):

DROP YOUR PRETENSES!

And here's the lame-ass apology, to which I responded, "Really screwed up is a bit of an understatement, don't you think?"

Gus seems like a real standup dude for not telling them to **** off, as I would have done.

Social media's gonna social media bash, but I'd hope everyone follows their words and just doesn't support. I've no time to drink bigoted swill when there's Holy Mountain, Fremont, Cloudburst, etc around.

Just looked at his first few posts on IG. He is a tool even before this. Ppl are ripping him apart. I’d like to follow to see how long his setup lasts.

He has only been open since November 2016....

Yeah. This is obviously not the first time I (or anyone else, likely) has seen a brewery been torn apart for arguing and being combative with customers. (Bent Kettle comes to mind, and they are now closed.)

This is the first time, though, I have seen blatant homophobia and these kinds of threats, not just from him but from whoever his lady friend is.

But maybe I'm overreacting... remember, he has gay friends and she's been super apologetic, so they can't be bad people. :rolleyes: And... they're gonna be fine.

*upset *mad
 
"Come on man ... say something. I'll **** your **** up."

Dude should have simply responded "u mad bro" to the dickhead brewer and then put him on ignore. What a piece of **** this guy is.
 
Also, I'm reading the comments on the Facebook page now, and Bellefonte Brewing Co. made a comment that said, "You should have learned from our mistake when you had the chance."

Anyone have any background info on this?
 
Seems like Dystopian learned their lesson lulz.

Dystopian State Oh Matthew, this is so so sad that we offended you. It really breaks my heart.

which was in reply to this...

As a gay man, your comments were disgusting. I will encourage anyone with an ounce of love in them to skip your hatred fueled institution. **** you
 
I went to Dystopian State a few months ago. Beer was fine, space was really nice, but when I'm in Tacoma I tend to just go to E9.

These guys totally ****ed up any chance to recover from this. They've quintupled down at this point.

Tacoma is the Florida of the PNW. Or is that Medford.

Tacoma isn't even close. I'd say Idaho is the Florida of the PNW.

All of these points are the correct points.
