I think one of the benefits of joining this is to get as many different things to try as possible. I'd say no more than two of the same beer.

Well, I will certainly try but can't guarantee anything, I have no beer stores within 100 miles that allow build your own sixer.
 
Shoot. I overlooked the "no more noobs allowed" post. Please keep me in mind if you need a sub. I'll wait on the bench.

If I have to, it's okay, I'll take more then two Dark Lords...

In all seriousness, if someone can't fulfill the requests or are not able to fill the 200 oz minimum with quality then they should not join. This isn't for everyone and keep in mind, it gets very pricey to buy and ship all of the good stuff.

Alright, I am out. I don't want any bad juju because of my lack of access to a variety of awesome beers. I certainly don't want to disappoint this community. North Dakota is sort of behind the 8 ball for this, most breweries that distribute here also cover a buttload of other states.

Sorry for any inconveinence.

As you were.

Also: prost!

(Let just forgot about this post, nothing to see here...move along.)
 
Stop it. You dont get out once youre in. You send what you can, and your recipient is happy that its beer he couldnt normally have gotten. Its not about sending the biggest, baddest, rarest, most dopalicious beers on earth and/or pluto. Its about gettng something you cant go down to the corner and buy.

You get 17 beers that I can't get. This isn't the MAW thread. The best shelf beers of your region is what should be sent no?
 
I guess I am still in as Mikey said. Hopefully I don't end with someone that has almost the same distro I get.

Now as you were.
 
Look at it this way....you send out the BEST 200 oz you can get thats not available to your recipient. If he's not grateful, you have one less person to consider for swaps in the future. WINNNNNNN

Thanks Mikey!
 
And nothing says you can't send a few bombers of awesome stuff if you are hard pressed to get singles. Right?

And just to reiterate, as long as it's beer your recipient cannot get, it's free game. You CAN send multiples. For example, I hardly think anyone would complain if they got a four pack of Ghandi Bot or Heady Topper, etc. If it's a truly amazing beer, feel free to send multiples. I think most members would prefer variety though. It can get expensive, so if that deters you, feel free to sit out.

I myself use this as an opportunity to buy multiple six packs and ship two of it, like mentioned before haha. "What, Honey, it's for the swap, I had no choice....". I end up stockpiled with awesome beer and my recipient GETS awesome beer.

If you need help, just ask here, everyone that has participated in these swaps (minus one) is all too eager to assist and make things simple and fun.

If I wasn't planning a trip to Vermont I would be all over this!!

Second round was great!
See ya guys next one!!

Man, I feel like the kid who sits himself out in gym class! lol

Cheers guys!
 
I see the last round of swaps had a homebrew/import requirement. I'm assuming it's okay to add some homebrew above and beyond the 200 oz to get feedback. Just checking to see if it was omitted this round on purpose as a requirement
 
New to this here. So this is basically just I send 3 six packs or some equivelant over 200oz's of local beers or rare beers from near me and I will receive the same back?

I forgot to add that part. I actually meant to have everyone send a unique condiment this time lol...

Feel free to send all the homebrew you want, its encouraged! Just remember it is not a substitute for the 200 oz.
