    Founders Members have access to growler fills, not 100% it transfers to trustees, but you'd think. (I could read, but this Hopslam is delicious.)

    Trustees can fill growlers for members, if that's the question at hand.

    Sorry, by "public" I meant "non-Founder Members" (or their trustees).

    And while we're at it, as I was picking up my bottles on Saturday, I noticed another batch of (empty but labelled) bottles. I asked Alex about them and he as good as admitted they were the first Founders Club release bottles.
    I took a (shitty) iPhone photo:

    ISO Trustee, willing to fill and ship growlers. :slight_smile:

    Now that I think about it, my trustee is a member. I would trust what paccamacca is saying.

    :slight_smile: At the moment, the only growlers they will fill are Founders' growlers. Each Founder got one growler with their membership. Us Founders can't buy another growler (unless we break it and supply photographic evidence) so I think you will find it hard to find a Founder who will ship you his/her own personal growler.

    As I said, non-Founder growlers are still "months" away. If you were ok with a Founder decanting their growler fill into another (non-TRB) growler and shipping that to you, that might work...

    I've seen a couple pictures of a beer called Home, Sour Home a couple weeks ago.

    Can trustees fill member growlers for members?

    This is my question, as well.

    That's what I was thinking, but my trustee is also a member. So I wasn't sure.

    Your Trustee doesn't have to be a member themselves but TRB would need to have their name on record and they would need to have your Founders growler to get a fill. If they were also a Founder, they could then get two growlers filled, yours and theirs.
    One thing I'm not sure about though- if I bring in three Founders growlers (2 of my buddies are also Founders) will they fill them, no questions asked, or do I need to also bring in my buddies' membership cards or do my buddies have to alert them in advance?

    The only thing a Trustee doesn't get is the 10% discount.

    That being said: ISO Trustee, willing to fill and ship growlers. It wouldn't be a weekly thing, just every so often.
