A travesty, for sure, but unlikely to tarnish that brewery's reputation given the nationality of the perpetrators. Another serious problem with ordering such beers on tap in the U.S. is that the beer in the line is often flat and stale, having sat for perhaps days due to its unpopularity here. Compounding this, I've found our bartenders are sometimes unfamiliar with the beers, and may add insult to injury by denying there's any problem. If you're drinking in anything other than a true specialty bar in North America, from my experience it's best to stick to bottled beer from one of our excellent local alternatives, such as Ommegang or Unibroue.
