Brews for New Avenues 2018!

[teddyarrowhead]

I think there are a lot of people who are trying to sneak in near the minimum at the last minute. Prepare to be disappointed if you are doing that. We can't update the bids in real time, so if you really want to go to this, your strategy shouldn't be bidding as close to the minimum as you can.

Thanks to everyone who bid! Over $5000 raised! The winners will be contacted by the end of the day today.

5000?! Last minimum bid I saw was $85...there are either some very generous folks at the top end or things got very aggressive in the last few minutes haha. Either way awesome stuff!

I put in a bid day one... never saw minimum reach it... but who knows...
5000/30 is like $167, so i hope there are some high people!

 

[teddyarrowhead]

The minimum was $90. For those who may have missed that cut, thanks for bidding, but don't say we didn't warn you about trying to sneak in at/close to the minimum. There was some serious generosity, and a good spread of bids overall.

Beyond that, we would like to find a web-based/software solution for this type of auction to use in the future so people can get real-time updates on the minimum and their individual status (in or out). We have been unable to find anything, so if any of you software developers/engineers can handle this sort of problem, please get in touch with me or any of the BFNA crew and we can talk further.

Thanks again to everyone for your support!

EBay does non-profit stuff, its pretty easy to set up, and there are no fees, iirc... though this seems obvious. I assume you checked it out.

Nice! Id say sign me up, but... meh. Let other people win stuff. I'm not here to win anything.
More to come. I plan on getting a Trillium keg again this year! Trying so hard for more...

Anyone up for a trip to De Garde on the Thursday of BFNA week? I'll pay for gas/onsite bottles/factory cheese samples

I went to Cantillon yesterday and discussed the beers that Jean Van Roy is sending to Brews for New Avenues.

That's so ******* cool.

I’m looking for someone with a car since I’m flying in...but I promise to get cozy.

I'd be down for a trip.

I’m down to split a rental car and go out Thursday if you want. I have the bokkereyder tasting thingy at 11am but would definitely be down to go after.

I've done admittedly near zero research on this, but if anyone has an extra oysters and geuze ticket I'd be interested in trading for one and driving up from SF. Maybe making a thread about it is the better way to go, but

Still on the fence about going to that.
