Hey All- I was fortunate enough to win the Black Tuesday Lottery. One problem is I live in NY and have no way of getting my supply from the bruery. Anyone else have experience wth this and want to give some advice? Should I get a trustee and set up a trade? Are there alternate methods of shipping the beer? Thanks all for the help Steve
You have to get a trustee to pick up the beer. And the rules on here say that you can't find post for one so you have to find another way unfortunately.
See the post from @F2brewers here: http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/black-tuesday-2015-public-sale.331428/page-2 No trustee posts anywhere on the forum. I personally don't see the issue but rules are rules. I don't want the OP getting warned so figured I would point that out.
Hi Guys. There's a number of reasons for this including (but not limited to) the matter of compensating a trustee (money? beer? something else?), how to manage shipping (there are a wide variety of options here), how to handle situations where the trustee relationship goes bad, what happens if a shipment is lost/confiscated, the possibility of a single person using multiple trustees/accounts to obtain additional allocations of beer, etc. These are all things that BA doesn't want to delve into at this point in time. If trading is a grey area, this is worse and not something BA wants to encourage through use of the forums.
