Fellowship of the Drink VIII: The Battle of the Brewers

[jschm19]

This is a helpful site as well - http://seekabrew.com/distro/index.html

I use this site for trades as well, super helpful. If you click on your state you can sort by number of states the breweries distribute to and do a quick back search to see where the cutoff point falls.

Ok, thanks guys! Now, I'll have to remember to keep checking this thread and find some random beers, and glassware, to throw in my giveaway box!

Doesn't have to be glassware. We've made it to something from a local brewery, not just glassware.

The offer has been submitted, 1st in = Last pick

So I had the offer put aside a few weeks back, and uh... neglected to mention it to a certain someone I live with. So yeah, time to find more beer!

Lol, I keep all my trades in the garage. That doesn't really help because I'll dig through it each day and pull something unless I know we're opening a bottle of wine for dinner.

Anyways, I have some beer that I buy just for trades, and then I have beer that I buy for trades that never lasts long enough to trade

So, when we get our beer box all nice and ready, do we post it here or send it to the guy who started the thread?

Use this post as an example - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=8025425&postcount=137

You will take a picture of your offer, and send that along with the links to the original poster (in this case @Jimyson). After they collect all the offers, all of the offerings will be shared with the group.

 

[SailorJerry]

Thanks! I looked up some scores of the brews I've found so far, and I'm assuming a 99 on BA is a good score?

@TwistedGray is correct. Send the pic and details to me via IM and I will post all offerings at once.

“So how does it work?

1. If you're interested in participating, let us know in this thread.

2. Once you're confirmed as a participant, PM me a photo of your offering along with a link to something like beer advocate/ratebeer/untappd for each beer so that others can get an idea what they are.

3. A few days before the drawing I will post a full list of all the offerings and photos.

4. On the day before the pick 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.

5. If you are not going to be around for the pick send me a pick list order so that I can put your pick in for you.

6. On pick day show up at your time slot to submit your pick. If you sent me a pick list I'll cover you. If you fail to send a list or show up you go to the end of the line. “

7. Once someone picks you (as in, you need to ship to them) they generally will PM you their address information. You need to do the same proactively for whoever's offer you pick.

^ Should be self explanatory, but added this part for ****s and giggles.

Also, what has happened in the past is that people forget to submit a pick list, their 5 minutes elapses, and then are bumped down in the pecking order until they show up.

So if you know you could possibly NOT be around or miss the picks make sure to send your pick list else you might fall down in the line. Just a friendly FYI.

What did you think?

I've had Jackie O's from you in the past, and I like them a lot. I like all the sessions you sent (as in like them from the label). This was the first one that I have popped open as I've mainly been drinking all my homebrew to determine what to ship and what to ... ship for the HB trade.

Needless to say another Jackie O is in the fridge, and I'll promptly get to that tomorrow

Beat it pal. That is after your ship out this run. [emoji3]

 

[Scturo]

Half way done with this offer. Better get to drink....shopping.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Just found another awesome offer!!

 

[EcuPirate07]

I was thinking I'd sit this one out...


Then I thought, "what the hell am I thinking???"


Gotta keep up the streak.




Also, @EcuPirate07, come on back!

Weird this didn't tag me


I'll do it!

 

[jimyson]

Added.

A sailor and a pirate walk into a bar...

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I see we're at an odd number of people. Work just inundated me with a ton of overtime. Was debating, but I'll drop out this round. Sorry fellas..but helping the cause by making it even number.

 

[SailorJerry]

Ahhh, I'm glad I saw this again. I've got 3 bought so far, and none of which I actually want to send out. Darn my bad luck

I've got part of my offer, hoping I see a local distribution of some Iowa beers here soon. Hard part...I live in a town of 450 people. Cross your fingers, I know I'm crossing mine.

 

[jimyson]

Any distribution in your town of anything listed in here? Obviously ones that are not a widely distributed would be ideal but understandable if you are limited.
