So in this world of tactics and trickery, it's nice to know that at the end of the day, I can go home, crack open a beer, and know exactly what I'm getting. Except that that's not always the case.

The emergence of craft beer in America has led to all kinds of new trends. Many of these trends are exciting, but like anything, sometimes bad things also happen. And one of those "bad things" (at least as far as we're concerned) is Black Market Beer.
