Enjoying the party today. That map of the moon is stupid good. Wow

What is it?

 

[rotero24]

What is it?

Maps of the Sun with more Apricots. Not sure if its aged longer like WA/Westly.

 

[HeadytheElder]

I assume we'll see bottles of that?

[bdogg1]

I really need to find a member that has Apropos....

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

Nope, not bottled. Not yet anyways.

hmmm, we are due for some releases here soon......

 

[DanzBorin]

I need to find a new trustee. Ideally it would be somebody that can trustee for 2 members. Anybody here that can help a couple of Texas folk?

I can help you out in a pinch. I am a member and trustee as well for other here. Use me as a last resort though because I will need a moving van for all the bottles hahaha.

Can't we request they be boxed and ready to go now? Might help. I do have quite a haul.

You can - I'd suggest that you be very specific with them and make sure they box your allotments into shippers prior to trustee pickup. If you don't get charged for shippers, they're not boxed in shippers and your trustee might be annoyed. ASK ME HOW I KNOW!

i think they chrage for shippers

Obviously, but having it pre packed is great for a trustee.

And as buzzword said, you can request they box your allocations up.

also, I am not in any way offering trustee services. NO TIME FOR LOVE DR JONES!

edit: I got super hosed last time because of either the other club member for whom I agreed to trustee on a one-time basis did not specifically request the shipper packaging or RB didnt deliver on it - never was clear what exactly happened - and the trustor not being super up front about their timeline for when they "needed" their beer. Never trusteeing again for a stranger. Sorry, strangers.

WTF!?!? How did I not know this

 

[archagon]

Does this thread need a bat signal as well?

Is this worth $25? Looks like people really liked it last time it was available, but it seems there's a lot of apricot ales going around these days (and most at lower prices).

Best beer they have bottled.

 

[schwartzoid]

Maybe after OTSOG and Apropos, YMMV

 

[BrandoSF]

I didn't think much of OTSOG, personally, but Map is up there with their best. Now they need to bottle that Moon.

 

[HeadytheElder]

Maybe Map of the Moon will be the last Ambassador's release? Gooby pls.

I agree that Map of the Sun is up there with their best. Also, Home Sour Home, Apropos of Nothing, and Impossible Soul.

If anyone isn't maxing their map of the son and doesn't mind a goandpickitupformebro, shoot me a pm. I'd love a few bottles and can help out with vt stuff in the future.

I'd be more surprised if anybody actually maxed out on it. 24 bottles/person is nuts.

You'd be surprised, some people ball hard

Probably a lot of out of state guys who are in a membership with their drinking buddies. I sure hope these guys hook up their trustees hard. I can only imagine the pain in the ass it would be to pick up 4 or 5 cases of beer and ship it out for just one person.

That said, I look forward to trying this map before I buy.
