Bottle share last night.....

You know whats funny ? This off-line was put together by people from another board, not from BA, the OP was an invited guest.Its amazing to see the feedback on the other board, not ONE negative or inflammatory remark at all.

Cheers,

 

I just wanted to point out that there's no single way to look at threads like these. I personally thought it was harmless, but I can also see it from a more critical perspective.

 

While there's no problems in talking about a bottle share that happened, I think it's a matter of if this was a bottle share organized originally on a different forum, wouldn't the most logical conclusion be to keep the talk about said event on that site?

Then again, how else are you going to brag about ultra-hard-to-get-super-samu's!

 

Hey Bud,

My interest here is err on fairness and less on judgment. It is in fact worth noting that the event was organized on the other board and thus posted prior its occurence. Whether or not the "inflammed" are motivated by semantics or jealously, I do feel it erred on poor form to promote an event that already occurred on a public forum. I don't think I would have flammed Mike for starting the thread, personally, but I "get" why the others are doing it. It was a great time, you and Joe are creme de la creme, no doubt, and we could all be a little nicer. I still hold in my opinion that starting this thread post festum, in a local board, BEGGED to be picked on. Now let's ALL be adults and let this poor thread die and open a couple more beers. The harsh vibes are really killing my buzz.

Cheers all

And that's exactly how it should be here. Some BA members and others had a nice share and wanted to post about it. Nothing wrong with that at all and fairness has nothing to do with it. It does help the community because these things grow and multiply and sometimes this kind of thread will lead to the next share our get together. This is lacking on BA and the idea that some people feel left out or care how or where it was organized is bizarre to me.

 

Great advice! Let's now focus our attention on important beer-related things that help promote advocacy, like what a misstep that new Port Brewing logo is!

lord almighty, I was at this bottle share. I thought there were enough snotty people in the wine gatherings I go to, but this really takes the cake. Talk about uptight. It's beer. It's like $5-10 a bottle. We're not talking about $500 btls of wine and people go bragging. Who cares if people want to post about it. On our wine forum (which Joe/Bud are talking about) , we hold a bunch of private dinners that aren't open to the public and we post notes on it later. No one is up in a tizzy because it wasn't made public.
