Birthday Club Beer Swap

[JCasey1992]

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:



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.

Sorry. I should have clarified when I posted.

Granted, nobody left feedback but I've done 3 successful trades through this site. (2x FOTHB and 1x FOTD) and several other trades through Facebook and another beer forum. @camonick @TwistedGray can provide some feedback if they wish. I understand the commitment and have zero issues shelling out the $$$ necessary for doing this. Let me know if you have any other questions. Either way, I totally understand.

 

[HopsNTails]

How are we dealing with months where two or more birthdays hit at once? I'm october, and @imasickboy is also. Maybe others too.

No issues with @JCasey1992 - they were in one FotHB, fyi.

Edit - they have feedback already from @camonick it just doesn't show up as the percentage thing. I left feedback, too, albeit right now. Whoops

 

[wstbrewing]

I think we need to get the months set and agree how we’ll distribute. I’m in April.

Thanks! Don't know how I missed the feedback from Camonick. Yours isn't showing though. Does it take time to appear on my profile?

Might be because I tried it from my phone, but it isn't showing up for me either.

I would think we just ship 2 packages that month or however many birthdays we have in October so the members get their box for their birthday? There will also be at least 2 in April.

 

[TBC]

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.

@watersr is granting me in the LOT thread so once the package arrives I’ll leave him feedback.

 

[Thorrak]

To play devils advocate - there isn’t any reason that you need exactly 12 people here either. It’s not like you have one person per month!

I believe we need to have a cutoff so participants know what they are committing to. If this got as large as an FOTD I’m not sure I’d commit to sending 20+ packages for the year although I’d love to receive 20+ surprises.

That being said right now we have 13 interested which is one more than the limit, which is insignificant to me but everyone else committed to shipping 11 packages and may think differently.

I personally can’t wait until this starts to see who has the first birthday and then all the beer porn. I’m picturing this thread dead for a couple weeks and then chaos around everyone’s birthday.

Also @watersr sent me tracking today so he will have at least one itrader rating next week.

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

I’m following this thread just to watch the chaos hit!! May be interested in getting in next year. Can’t make the commitment this year.

I’ll be the first to say it!!

Happy Birthday!!

If we wind up with 13, I can wait for the next cycle. With my MO you would get beers two months late anyways.

 

[mullet6577]

I'm going to have to drop out of this one. Schedule makes it tough getting to a store/brewery often enough to commit to this many packages. FotD fits me a little better since it'll be less frequent.

 

[jimyson]

@jerbrew

 

[TheEagleRising]

I'm going to have to skip this for now as well. To much going on, so FOTD or every once in a while side trades will be best at this time.

 

[watersr]

Would we also need to ensure that there is only 1 person per each birthday month?

 

[jaymosbeershack]

There will undoubtedly be months with multiple shipments, but there will also be months withou any.

@imasickboy Did I miss this yet? going through to read it all now

 

[jerbrew]

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)

Agreed. Nothing really compared to what I could get around me already, and I went to all four sessions so I had a lot of samples.

 

[jerbrew]

@jerbrew

Thanks for the tag.

Not too late. I'll get us up and running in the next week or two, so we can start in January.

Awesome, I'm diggin' these new creative ways to get, give, and drink beer.

 

[GaBrewZoo]

I might be interested in doing this. Just got finished moving into an apartment, working on building a new brewing rig, and no more home repairs or honey do lists, so I've got a little free time and money to burn for a year or two. Let me think about it for a week or so and break it to swmbo, and if she doesn't shoot me down, them I'm in.

It'll be cheaper than FotD.

 

[fourfarthing]

It'll be cheaper than FotD.

Not when you do both.

 

[jimyson]

Sorry, need to bow out of this. I’m sure it’ll be a good trade. I can’t commit the year.

 

[watersr]

Looks like April might be busy. I’m April as well

 

[jaymosbeershack]

January here.

 

[jerbrew]

January here.

You're going to be happy real soon then.

I'm February. Kind of seems like it will be stacked towards the front and end. Perhaps a summer reprieve?

Me as well.
