Former Avery Brewing Employee Accused of Stealing $15,000 Worth of Beer

From the Coloradoan:

Adam James Dickinson, 26, was arrested in Fort Collins on Thursday following a Boulder police investigation. Dickinson worked for Avery Brewing Co. in Boulder until he was fired last year, police said in a statement.

Boulder police said a manager suspected Dickinson, and investigators found he was selling some of the stolen beer on eBay. Some of the bottles were worth $300 each, police said. At the time of his arrest, Dickinson was the assistant brewer at Black Bottle Brewery. He is not accused of any crime connected with Black Bottle, and police said Black Bottle cooperated in the investigation.

More than 570 bottles were recovered during a search warrant executed at the Dickinson’s home in Fort Collins, and included several cases of Isabelle Proximus beer ($200/bottle); bottles of Duck Duck Gooze beer ($100/bottle); bottles of Rogue Old Crustacean beer ($100/bottle) and one bottle of 2001 Rogue Old Crustacean Barley Wine ($100/bottle), police said.

Other beers recovered separately as evidence had been given to Dickinson’s new employer as a gift, and included very rare bottles of Black Tot Barrel-Aged Imperial Oatmeal Stout ($300/bottle) and Sui Generis Barrel-Aged Sour Ale ($300/bottle), Boulder police said.
