But somehow five men who threw a concrete block through the door of a local beer store last month thought they could get away with a cache of beer. One of the men, Philip Sheldrick, 22, sheepishly pleaded guilty Thursday to theft and was sentenced to 100 days in jail for the Oct. 14 break-in that his own lawyer called "absolutely ridiculous." Security guards called police after seeing a door smashed and men inside the store at about 11 p.m. Outside the store, police and the guards found two men pushing a broken-down 1987 Pontiac Grand Am as a third man tried to steer it. The trio ran and joined another two other men heading east. One was found hiding in some bushes in a yard. The police dog unit tracked down the rest, including Sheldrick. Inside the car, police found four cases of beer stolen from the store's display refrigerator. "If it wasn't criminal, it was comical," said Sheldrick's lawyer, Michael Barry. Ontario Court Justice Kathleen McGowan called the 100-day sentence "generous" based on Sheldrick's criminal record. He "demonstrated no respect for the property of others and no respect for the law," she said.

The pub was founded by the Godfather of the brewpub business, Buffalo Bill Owens. Owens, an ward-winning photographer and homebrewer, badgered the California legislature to change the liquor laws so beer manufacturers could sell directly to the public. When the revised brewpub law went into effect in September 1983, Owens opened the taps. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beer, Stuart A. Kallen. Find these little tidbits interesting?
