Re: The OFFICIAL Craft Beer Thread

I didn't write too many papers in college as an engineering student. Definitely never plagiarized. The last time I cheated on a test was middle school French and I wasn't very good at that, as my grade still sucked.

Judging by the Twitter comments from Teamsters, I'm not sure they'd agree. But yes, part of being a leader of an organization like that is taking meetings with any potential presidents. Fair enough.
