Local beer swap-o-rama!

[TheMan]

Is this for only paying members of HBT or any member??

Anyone is welcome regardless of supporting status. 100 post minimum is needed though. Your 11 away, haha.

 

[427Cobra]

Make that 10! Should be at 100 by tomorrow then will join in if there still is spots!

 

[TheMan]

Haha, its rolling along kinda slow so I am sure there will be a spot.

Through my trading over the past year or so I have had many guys include a couple random 12 oz bottles or cans of something local to them that I would have never known existed, let alone known to ask for in a trade. These are the kind of things I am trying to get out there and shared with others..

This. Great idea.

Although I would not object if I were to receive 200 oz of Ghandi Bot!

Love the idea and want to join. Also New England Brewing Company/Ghandi Bot is 15 minutes away from me, I'll count that as a local

 

[DrPhunk]

I love this idea and hope that something like this is happening again whenever I hit 100 posts

 

[427Cobra]

Annnnddddddd 100. Finally can confirm I'm in if this thread gets going.

 

[TheMan]

Ok, four confirmed:

1) theman
2) jaydog2314
3) coldcrash
4) 427cobra

If you guys want, I think I have 3 others interested that were not quite to 100 posts. I'm willing to add them in if it means we can do this. Since you three meet the criteria, ill leave this as a group decision. And we can swap with just 7 or so of us.

Let me know what you guys think.

 

[dotJerdot]

Count me in!

 

[TheMan]

Count me in!

The more the merrier

 

[427Cobra]

Agreed bring em in.

I like the idea that the beers you are receiving are a surprise. However I was looking at seekabrew for my state and saw you guys mention Finches earlier in this thread. Well Finches is distributed in PA but it is not listed on seekabrew. Would be bummed to get some beers that I could get here.

 

[MTate37]

I would love to play along if bottles become an option. I only know of a couple of Alabama breweries that are canning right now.

I think bottles are good to go now. Rules got changed.

Finch's is available in CT also. My plan is to send my favorites from small local brewerys that I know doesn't get distributed anywhere else.

 

[TheMan]

Wow, I had no clue finchs was distributed outside Illinois...lesson learned. I'll be sure to tell everyone to double check.

 

[jaydog2314]

I know you mentioned you thought you had 7 people. Wasn't sure if more had jumped on board since the bottles OK and less than 100 posts. I'm excited for some swap o rama!!

I didn't realize the post limit was lifted. I thought the last two guys who jumped in just demonstrated how easy it is to get your post count up.

Post count wasn't lifted per say, I have had some ask me via pm to join, even though they had too few posts. I told them I would wait and contact them if we had trouble getting enough. I have confirmed that one of them still wants to join.

 

[jaydog2314]

ah my mistake, misread it. sorry

Count me in for round 2. With the holiday weekend and travel for work next week I'm not gonna have a lot of time to do a proper job of this.

 

[TheMan]

I am waiting on a few replies. I will close it off tomorrow night. Whoever is is, is in. Anyone after that will have to wait. At that point I will pm all of you for your info and then get everyone a random address to ship to.

We have a couple Chicago area guys, ill make sure they don't have each other. And the same for any other states with multiple participants.

 

[ZamaMan]

Need some Cali love? I think I might be down as this sounds like a blast!!! Tired of paying premium trade cost to try rare beers so new locals sound amazing! I'd be an odd number so we'd need another person for me to join.

We don't need even numbers actually. We will be shipping randomly, not necessarily matched up with the person sending to you.

 

[bigmike99]

So pumped about being involved. It's not only the part where I'm getting stuff I can't get locally but it's sharing some of the incredible local stuff popping up here on Long Island. I wish there was more of it in bottles though.
