Fellowship of the Drink Trading Thread

Ok got my pic but can't add it to a message to scturo

Got it, you are in!

Amazing line up! Great offers everyone. I agree with Scturo, maybe shocked into silence or working hard to categorize top pics. [emoji6] it's going to be tough to choose.

Wow..... this is just a stellar lineup.

The only bad part is being forced to choose!

Tough choices for sure.

Great work by everyone. These are great. Thanks again @Scturo.

Scturo said:

Just to clarify a little more about what EcuPirate07 brought up. Its never happened that someone offers up a blue moon in hopes of getting a whale. Even if someone did, I will see the offers before they get posted, so I would be able to recommend a better offer to the player.

No junk donkeys in this thread!

Wow!!!!! This is why I joined, those are some really nice offers. I am in on the next one too, found something I gotta share.

That is Southern Prohibition The Unnamed, it is a Bourbon barrel aged strong ale.

Just for clarification.

I wish I knew that! Now I have to redo my list! But seriously, I just ranked mine. @Scturo I just received a bunch of Modern Times in the LOT thread and I'm actually drinking the bright rustic saison now and they are all excellent.

It's a great brewery. So many solid beers. don't know how far is their distribution. Glad you're getting to enjoy some.

Sunday at 4pm ET is when we run the names. I've asked a couple of people not in the raffle if they would run the names. Just trying to keep it fair.

Raining cats N dogs here. I got nothing to do but wait for it.

Same here, that was the hard part!

Just so everyone knows the Jackie O's is not barrel aged. It is a Russian imperial stout would hate for someone to think they are getting a barrel aged and be disappointed. It is still a great beer.

The Pliny/Pig combo didn't even make my top 7. My top 3 were easy, but after that it got crazy hard.

The suspense is equal to the start of the fantasy football drafts.

Great opening round of The Fellowship. Hopefully this takes off and becomes a regular on HBT.

Always interesting to see how everyone ranks based on preference, what they've had, etc.

Oooooh order is coming

Welcome everyone, it's Raffle Time!

Time to draw the names for HBT's Fellowship of the Drink's first Raffle. Once again, great job everyone for getting such good offers in. This is an all-star line up of offers, and it's always interesting to see the differences in picking preferences. I knew people would go above and beyond with their offers, this is why I tried my best to make sure that everything is run fairly.

In the interest of fairness, I tried to find someone not directly involved in the raffle, to draw the names. Luckily, Slym2none was nice enough to volunteer to handle the drawing of the names. Slym and I have participated together in several of these raffles, and in fact, Slym organized, and hosted the very first FOTD raffle. So he understands that these raffles only work if things are run fairly. So unless something has come up, he should be along to draw the names.

Once again, here are the names of the players participating in the raffle.

1. Scturo
2. b-boy
3. TBC
4. EcuPirate07
5. imasickboy
6. Nickbtag
7. tjosborne
8. nickfern
9. RevKev
10. gromitdj
11. JDXX1971
12. afro_lou
13. pointcity-homebrew
14. Thorrak
15. Bigfish713

Once the picking order is revealed, the first player will be officially put on the clock. And they will have 60 mins to make their selection. And we will move on down the list until all selections have been made. I have only a few lists in hand, so there should be a few live selections, I'm hoping anyways. So here we go folks,

Are you there Slym?

Let's do this!!

I recognize how great of an offer it is, and can't imagine how many people would have joined just to have a chance at that, had they known it was going to be available. It's just not high on my list of beers.

Slym is online, we also have Yooper ready just in case

Working on it, folks

This is the best suspense ever haha

If neither shows up by 4:25, I'll just run the names myself. Sorry, hopefully everyone is okay with that?
