Fellowship of the Drink V: The Fellowship Drinks Bock
Welcome to Round V of the Fellowship of the Drink beer/glassware swap!
This is a beer swap for members of the continental US to allow you to try some beers from outside your region. Every participant picks a few beers as their offer and then we devise a draw order and go down the list until everyone has picked an offer to receive. If you want to take a look at how the previous four operated, the links are here:
Fellowship of the Drink Trading Thread
Fellowship of the Drink II: The Two (beer) Towers
Fellowship of the Drink III: The Return of the (beer) kings
Fellowship of the Drink IV: I'm out of Lord of the Rings Puns
So how does it work?
If you're interested in participating, let us know in this thread. Once you're confirmed as a participant, PM me a photo of your offering along with a link to it's page on something like beer advocate/ratebeer/untappd. A few days before the drawing I will post a full list of all the offerings and photos. On the drawing day I'll use a randomizer, (I swear that's a word, even though my browser's spellcheck says otherwise), to create a random drawing order. Everyone will get a short period of time to then claim their desired offering in the order created. If you will not be around for the drawing, please send me your selection list and you will receive the highest pick left on your list when your turn comes up.

Current Timeline:
Please note that the timeline differs a bit from previous FotD trades, because Easter falls on what would be the typical pick day. If anyone wants to extend this round an additional week to bypass Easter weekend altogether, I'll be happy to change the timeline.
