Brentucky, the issue is representing yourself as an AMGA certified guide and offering what appear to be professional guiding services for free. While the former is true (Rick is indeed an AMGA certified guide if I understand correctly), "free" negates professional. It's really a matter of perception, and it matters. It's a simple business concept and has nothing to do with who "likes" who or any of that.

This is all so very unfortunate.

Not even close.

O'dell's IPA, then Dale's Pale Ale, then Boulder Brewing Company's Hazed and Infused!

Down with Flat Tire!

Meh, you just have to ask yourself how many people would have Rick the **content removed by "request" of Rick Weber**, guide them if he wasn't also the owner of muir. Then again, you just have to ask yourself how many people would actually hang out with him if he didn't own muir. It isn't what you have or even give that matters so much as what kind of person you are.

Fat Tire isn't even the best beer that New Belgium brews. 1554 baby.

This is an attempt to close this thread. Legitimate conversation and rebuttal may be in order and is always welcome. As is, humor, satire, wit, stupid, crazy and "pigsteakisms". Crucifixion, flogging and “beating around the headâ€
