Fellowship of the Drink VI: All crying Samwise's will be FLOGGED!
Welcome to Round VI 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.

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 day before choosing I'll use a randomizer, to create a drawing order. I will post a time for each participant that you are "On the Clock" with 5min between participants. If no selection is made nor list was PM'ed to me before hand, you will receive the last selection of the offerings. 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.
Rules, there must be rules..
-Continental US residents only
-Must be of legal drinking age (I feel dumb having to actually type that, but prefer not to risk getting thumped by @Yooper )
-Maximum of 30 participants
-Participants must also meet 1 of the following 4 requirements:
1) A HBT member for 6 months and minimum of 2 iTrader rating. All trades must be 100% positive.
2) A HBT member for 6 months and 0 or 1 iTrader 100% positive rating, but trading experience verified by a qualified FotD participant.
3) A previous FotD participant.
4) Or just PM me with your personal trading experience, and bribery terms!
- The final rule is the participant must give feedback on itrader of their experience.
Offer Guidelines
- Each offering should be at least 3-6 cans or bottles of commercial beer, preferably local to the sender, but please no more then 86oz total in offering.
- Each offering must also contain at least 1 non-beer item; glassware, stickers, coozies, etc of a local brewery.
- You additionally may also offer some homemade beverages with the commercial offerings.
- Guidelines are just that, guidelines. Final shipments may, and many times do, exceed the offering posted (who doesn't love Easter Eggs!)
