Modem Times

"...but I got a distinct "Just make with the whales, I'm trying to get out of here before the Fedex overnight shipping cut-off"-vibe from the response to some of the extracurricular stuff."

Hahaha, this is brilliant. Good on ya for trying to make it more social event than breakneck stopover for flippers. Good luck, man!

 

This one I won't pretend to speak for everyone on, but if there are less bottles than members I wouldn't be opposed to including it as a perk for an event attendance. i.e. Members Only Event 50$ ticket entrance. 75$ includes bottle. Leftovers are served on premise only. (and pour it at the event/bottle pours if no kegs). Enough tickets for all members to attend the event. Not enough bottles, but taking into account out of towners in theory there would be enough bottles for everyone that can make the event, plus they can taste it there. I dunno that's how I'd do it off the top of my head.

or 2nd option. Two similar variants at the same time. Can only purchase 1 of the two. (ala 10 vs 12 year monsters parks). rest for onpremise.

 

my main thing would be the feeling of smugness and exclusivity it would provide

 

how are the lost horizon bottles?

 

I have regretted not joining The League originally, and would love to be able to join the reboot. Plus I feel as though The League would put pressure on some of the other memberships to step their game up and try to meet the new standard.

 

yea if and when it opens up for new members i for one would be all over it.

 

I would definitely join The League if there was a reboot, the only thing I would request is 32oz growler fills. Non related to The League, a growler fill/tasting room in north county would also be amazing!

 

I would love to get in on a league reboot! I was oblivious to the fact when it first opened up, but would be all over it now! Especially being in Ca (northern) which would mean the possibility of having allotments shipped!

 

I'd so be in for this. Joining a MT membership club is one of my beer dreams.

 

I'd love to join the League too, but I'd request a weekend League Meeting on occasion so we OC people dont have to sit in traffic and miss werkday meetings.

 

BA members get first crack at the League, right? ;-)

 

cracked that lost horizon last night...dank as fuck

 

Would love to see a reboot of The League with a coffee option. Would make it much easier to talk the wife into it if I can offer coffee too.

Would also like to second most of the suggestions provided already. Extended pickup windows, early access, special releases, release parties, etc. all great ideas and hopefully we get to see it all happen!

 

Just cracked open a Lost Horizon. Deciding how many more bottles to buy. Great beer.

 

If you happen to have this open in the next 3 weeks, I know what I'm asking my wife for my birthday! hint hint nudge nudge nowhatImean?

 

Agreed. Not getting the negative reactions in threads and reviews. As well-crafted as I'd expect of MT.

 

Really enjoyed cherry fruitlands but apricot was an outstanding beer. The buddies I was with are still new to beer so I'm glad I was able to convince them into a trip to MT

 

Maybe it's just that Floating World is one of the best IPAs I've ever had, but I was pretty disappointed with Lost Horizon. That being said, I don't really like IPAs when they are pushing 9%.

Truelands is right up my alley.

 

Apricot Fruitlands was awesome! Definitely a notch above the Cherry version IMHO. Too bad there's no plans to bottle it since I was told that they only made 7 barrels of it. Go get some while its still pouring folks!

 

Just bought a bomber of Lost Horizons, but damn at 9.99 at BevMo (22oz), that is one of the most expensive DIPA out there. I love MT but that is really expensive. I can get a 6pack of 16oz cans of Swamis for 12.99 (96 oz).
