To get to the question right away, is it advisable to transport freshly bottled beer? It would only be about a 15 minute journey, but I'm not sure how that will affect it, especially if I am transporting it only about an hour or two later =/. I didn't want to transport it while it was fermenting obviously. This never would have happened if I remembered I was moving in two weeks... *sigh*

I put the beer in the fermenter on 7/2, and bottling on 7/15... I need to be out of my apartment on 7/16... lol.
 
Oh cool, so transporting the beer will not oxidize it? Or is the head space small enough to not worry pretty much?
 
There's not enough head space to really worry about. Try to minimize shaking and such, but the beer will be fine.
 
BMC gets shipped right after bottling. Those 'lagers' were brewed about 40 days ago. I would say that transporting freshly bottled beer doesn't stale them or introduce off flavors.
