Me too, especially from breweries that will probably never make it where they are going...
 
Got the PM. I have to say, I'm really excited about sending beer to the person I got based on the distribution map. I can send all kinds of good stuff that he can't get regularly!

Same here. I'm in Portland, so I could even go to Walmart and get killer beers that my recipient doesn't have access to. My guy is lucky for what he's getting. Stoked!
 
I actually plan on doing a little of both. 3 or 4 from a few breweries and then miscellaneous singles from others.

I'm going to do the same. I have some small local breweries with very good beer, but a couple don't package unfortunately. A few do, however and I'll be sending some of that. I also have access to a few good ones from slightly larger brewers that my recipient can't get according to that distribution website. This is my first swap and I can't wait to get started!
 
I'm sad I don't live in one of the craft Meccas. Most of the best local beer here isn't bottled or even canned. Fortunately, my guy doesn't have access to some of my favorites.
 
Man y'all are moving quick. I'm going to need this week to get all of my shopping done. I do have some stuff in my personal stash that I'll be sending, though. I just got back from VT last week, so my recipient is going to get a couple of heady toppers. Not local, but I don't think he'll complain. :p

No I won't mind at all!

:fingers crossed:
 
I'm confused. I thought this was anti-local. Like, I can't get Founders in Colorado, but someone in Virginia can, even though the brewery is in michigan. So that person would send me Founders since I cant get it here. I could be wrong, I don't know. I don't even know why I am still typing. Do you believe in other realms? I wonder what kind of beer you could find in the outer parts of the universe. Anyways, cheers! Hopefully I can get in on this on the next round!
 
Good beers for my new west coast friend. Founders, Bells, New Holland, Fat Heads... and the list goes on. I'll ship Monday and I know it will take four days so someone will have over 200 oz of new beer by Friday!
 
Just got done with my shopping. I am counting oz and realized all 200 oz are ipa's! Wait I did grab 1 sour and 1 stout. Hmm.... I hope my recipient likes ipa's.
 
My wife didn't kill me when I returned home with three cases of beer so I think I am doing something right.

Maybe I should start drink some of these bad boys. I will leave the sour for the trade.

I'll take whatever IPAs you don't drink tonight. And the stout. Hell throw the sour in there too! :D

I'd be very happy to be your recip!!

It's tuff not to send awesome ipa's when there are so many out here in CA. I guess i can get more sours. I need to start drinking some of the beers you sent me from the the second trade. That Deep Seas Plank II was a delicious and complex.
