Birthday Club Beer Swap

[jaymosbeershack]

There are so many good (or atleast trendy) breweries right now that its next to impossible to keep up.

Ok I'm super drunk, I'm so out of touch with all the great breweries and beers in the States, why wait for a a BIRTHDAY.

Yeah I know, that was my drunken self blabbering[emoji1787]

100% in!! What a great idea @imasickboy. Could we do optional glasswear in lieu of a beer if we so choose?

Personally, I'd consider glassware "extra", but I'm not making the rules, I'm just facilitating this trade. I'll vote with the majority.

We need one more person. @Thorrak are you in?

This weekend I convinced @froggyfrog to join if we really needed one more, but he would definitely prefer someone else take the spot.

I can't drink beer quite fast enough.

I'm still drinking the beer @afro_lou sent from two FOTDs ago.

Side note - it may be blasphemy, but Henhouse Brewing's IPAs > Pliny. Honestly, all of their beers are delicious.

Consecration though is FANTASTIC.

He is in. He just doesn’t know it yet.

I've had a couple dipas that I prefer to pte, but it's one of those beers you gotta try at least once. I think Trillium and treehouse put out dipas I like more, but I can only get what I can get. Pliney beats most though

Wandering around GABF, we kept comparing all the D/TIPAs and NEIPAs back to the NE IPAs we can get at Finback. I'd say we found Finback's to be better than at least 90% of the ones we tried. Damn good beer (even if I keep joking that all their NEIPAs taste the same)

 

[afro_lou]

Oh lawdy, what the hell are you bastards getting me into...

This does sound pretty awesome, though... But, to be honest, and as many of you already know, I’m freaking exceptional at shipping on time... that said, I’d be down if we did a split kinda thing, maybe shipping every two months?

You can request all Big stouts and Barleywines and age them!

I'll do the same, but will just drink them asap.

 

[jimyson]

Any idea when birthdays are falling yet?

 

[imasickboy]

Nope.

Well, your's and mine, but that's it. Should we wait for one more participant, or shall we roll with the 11 we have?

I think we can wait a little more yet. We are probably about 70 days out if we have a New Years Baby. Also I wouldn’t want this to start without @jerbrew!

Unfortunately my 700 sq ft NYC apartment doesn’t lend itself to the robust aging program I would otherwise have.

 

[HopsNTails]

You could maybe request swag and a beer from everyone? Just tossing out ideas, it is still under construction after all

Double post

 

[TheEagleRising]

What about 1 beer, 1 glass, and 1 decal? Or something along those lines. Then you get a solid 12 pack of quality beer and some schwag? And that way it keeps it simple easy. And if you throw in extras it's a bonus.

 

[watersr]

I’d love to get in on this. I’ve never traded beer but I’ve been a member of the form off and on for 12 years. I agree that a big shipping a month might get to be a bit much but I’m down with a ton of beer on my birthday too. Maybe split the difference, a couple primo beers and some swag or the full monty! I’d sign if either way.

 

[JCasey1992]

This sounds like fun! I'll join in if you've still got room. Let me know if that works. My birthday was back in September but it would still be fun to share the love from up here in Colorado!

Oh I'd love some CO brews

Looks like I may be one person too late. Let me know if I'm mistaken or if you lose anyone and I'll happily join.

And to respond to your initial statement, we are definitely a beer lover's dream! I live 5 minutes from Weldwerks and my wallet and waistline certainly reflect that. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I have two that I'm holding on to until December. It's going to be a good holiday season!

 

[jimyson]

Where are we at @imasickboy?

 

[imasickboy]

So, here's where we're at, (please read the ENTIRE post):

Currently in:
@imasickboy
@fourfarthing
@TBC
@TheEagleRising
@jaymosbeershack
@j1laskey
@jimyson
@HopsNTails
@wstbrewing
@mullet6577
@MC82

Also @watersr and @JCasey1992 have both expressed interest.

Upon a closer examination, they, and three others listed above do not meet the initial requirements for inclusion:

Participants must meet the following requirements:
- A HBT member for 1 year and minimum of 4 iTrader rating. All trades must be 100% positive.
- A member of at least one prior FotD trade, with 100% positive iTrader rating.

Keep in mind, by joining, you are committing to sending ELEVEN six packs of beer. Shipping is floccing expensive. Beer is often worse. If for any reason you cannot fulfill your commitment, don't just disappear, contact the group leader and let them know. Sh*t happens, and it happens to all of us.

I'm willing to be flexible, but this trade is a BIG commitment. That's why I set the bar a little higher. I don't want those with late-in-the-year birthdays to get the shaft. *gigglesnort* @HopsNTails

I'll vote with the majority, so you guys decide what the hard rules will be, and I'll go with it.

 

[jimyson]

All of the people in the in the list seem like they have had successful trades and it’s only the two you name that don’t. One has been here on the forum for a long time and the other has a birthday in September. My vote is to let it ride.
