Fairly curious of this myself as a friend is opening one at a share I'm hosting next week in which it honestly has no business showing up, and I kinda want to just be like "thanks for letting us consume ________ in trade value" lol
It'll be back in North Texas a couple more times my friend, Common Table ran a tight ship and it was enjoyable but it'll be here again soon enough, just keep your eyes peeled
Don't do that. Certainly thank him for bringing the bottle, and by all means highlight how special it is in your thanks (especially if others at the share have no idea that it's even special). Just don't make it about $ value or even trade value, that's a bit tacky.
I wasn't actually going to do that haha, although he's certainly the kind of guy who wouldn't get upset over it. I've already told him at least 3 times that he by no means needs to bring the bottle, he knows that it's pretty sought after, and is dead set on bringing it.
