Wedding Bartender Told All The Guests That The Kegs Were Empty. They Were Not.

Location: Texas.

So this is a < $400 USD issue, but it's a "principle of the matter" situation. Last night, I ordered two kegs for my brother's wedding, & dropped them off at the open bar. At the end of the night, the venue bartender told me that one keg was done and the other was almost out. They weren't. Not even close. We still had like 80% left in each.

Here's the problem though, an hour and a half into the wedding she was telling the guests that we were out of beer, and started serving mixed drinks exclusively. The liquor we bought is obviously shelf stable, but now I've got over 25 gallons of beer that's probably gone bad by now. I get that you're gonna have leftover beer after a wedding, but she was telling people early on that we were out.

I'm 60/40 on she was lying (for mixed drink tips) vs she didn't know how to tap a keg properly.

I called the venue, they're not owning up to anything.

What's my next move? Do I have a next move? Small claims court isn't worth my time, but I'm pretty friggin petty.
