Fellowship of the Drink XXVII: Welcome to the Club

[Knightshade]

So, we've added @TwistedGray and a maybe from @Knightshade (nudge-nudge) in the past week.

I should do some recruiting... But instead I'll offer a mixed 6-Pack of SoCal beers to the person that brings in the most new (or returning) members. How's that sound?

I'm still sitting pretty firmly on the maybe fence for now..

 

[duncan.brown]

@pshankstar @BAF we might have good representation from upstate. I plan on pickup up some beer from Buried Acorn in Syracuse.

Have you ever been to Seneca Lake Brewing? I haven’t been out there, but as a Brit who loves cask ale, I really need to go:

No I haven’t been there. I’m usually not out that way to be able to make the trip.
I’ve met the brewer from Seneca Lake Brewing years ago when he came out to our homebrew club years ago to do some judging with other local pro brewers.

@CrookedLaker

Try though you may I'm cutting holes and laying brick in an oven this month and won't be having any fun. (Unless you would like to share a beer of course )

 

[Homebrew Harry]

I'm only gonna watch this round to see how this goes. This is so cool.

I also haven't been there either.

@BAF, if we don't get major dissent from the group I don't see why you can't participate. Perhaps whoever you choose will hold off on shipping until your recipient has received their package. It'd be nice to get some new people in here.

Anyone see an issue with this?

 

[gromitdj]

So with almost 3 weeks left, we've added:

@duncan.brown
@BAF

If anyone brought them in, let me know. There is a 6-pack on the line here.

 

[gromitdj]

New guy @duncan.brown with the first offer submitted!

 

[jerbrew]

what a show off

Fair enough.

Do folks usually take requests? If anyone has an Upstate NY (capital region) request, I can make sure to include that in my offering.

 

[duncan.brown]

what a show off

If @LBussy picks me, I’ll even throw in the BrewPi Remix GUI changes I’ve been promising for months for glycol...

 

[gromitdj]

Less than a week to go and I have a total of two submissions after receiving one from @DrGMG this morning. Thanks for including the links!

 

[LBussy]

Save a guy who is driving the need to roll back? When are offers due?

[DrGMG]

I thought @aharri1 was in too?

 

[aharri1]

No one mentioned me so I didn't know it was happening but I'm in

 

[gromitdj]

Gotta love the willingness to jump in on such short notice!

That makes @DrGMG the leader in my 6-pack contest. LOL

 

[mullet6577]

Guess I need to check this section more often too. Way too close for me to put something together for this round, maybe the next one I can get back in.

 

[pshankstar]

I’m officially out this round. COVID has me in its grips right now. Wife was positive late last week and just as she hit day five I popped positive.

 

[gromitdj]

Hope you feel better soon @pshankstar !

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

I’m officially out this round. COVID has me in its grips right now. Wife was positive late last week and just as she hit day five I popped positive.

Hope it's not too bad of a variant for you and the family. be safe.

I MEAN I'll choose you if you throw in a mystery box.

Mystery boxes are always acceptable from reputable members of the club! There is a good chance I'll accept it also.

 

[gromitdj]

Another offer in from @Bago-0

 

[mullet6577]

FINE!!!! Count me in for a mystery box

 

[CTownBrewer]

I can do a mystery box too if that’s ok with the group.

 

[bwible]

Can I get on the list for the next round after this? I’ve never participated before. Sounds interesting. I’m in SE Pennsylvania. Our big “local” breweries include Victory, Troegs, Wyerbacher, Lancaster Brewing, Dogfish Head and we have a whole bunch of local micros. I’m sure I can put in a great offer. Thanks
