Swap-O-Rama #3, ANTI LOCAL!

[Javier25]

To be honest, Great Divide Brewing is only 35 miles from my house, I've just never had those two. They make good beer, so I'm excited to give them a try.

How close are you to Longmont then?

 

[markklug]

Wow, what a start. Still a day left to join


And just to reiterate, as long as it's beer your recipient cannot get, it's free game.

There was also this clarification from TheMan a few pages later.......

I'm on the other side of Denver. Longmont is north, I'm in Roxborough, which is far southwest Denver. Longmont is about an hour or so from my house.

Ok, here's my loot:













The bonus homebrews are an Arrogant Bastard clone and an American Pale Ale, which I'm looking quite forward to!

Thanks again, from Illinois!

Cool! Always down to meet fellow brewers and have a beer or few with them. Let me know if you're ever in the area!

 

[TheMan]

Sounds like I confused a few ...this round was definitely all about beer your recip cannot get. However, everyone wants the most local beer, so ideally keeping it as local as possible was encouraged.

Cathedral, you did great. Beer that is right by you is always optimal. Plus if its super local and not distributed far, its more likely your recip has not had it.

Is this trade still going on or is it over and people are now dispersing?

 

[brewmeister13]

I received my box today! Got a great haul, thanks brewmeister13! I used to live in AZ, but have had only one of the brews I was sent. I'm not disappointed to have it again either!

I'll post a pic once my little guy goes to sleep.

Phew, glad they all made it to you in one piece. I was a little worried with all of the breaks and confiscations that were happening. I'm glad to hear you like the haul, after putting it together it hit me most of them were stouts or IPA's, glad you like the styles. Which one was it you have had before?

 

[wickman6]

Kiltlifter, of course.

 

[wickman6]

I'm super stoked to work my way through this, it will definitely put me back in AZ in my mind. I do miss it out there, but I belong to the Midwest. I need the weather to change on a dime. Plus, chilling wort in January is a breeze!

 

[brewmeister13]

Lol, yeah I know what you mean. We lived in NY for a while and I will miss it, especially Keegan Ales and Halftimes, but AZ is in me. Figured it may have been the kilt, and I'm glad it wasn't the Odell. It's funny, but I wish I could send one to every American in the US so they could taste the awesomeness of the balance and hop complexity. Enjoy!

If that's what you're referring to. A few pages later from the start of this thread. I believe there might still be one or 2 left. Also just an FYI theMan starts a new thread for the bottle swap.

 

[mikeysab]

How many packages are expecting to land today?

 

[TheMan]

Its still going. We are just waiting for a few more to ship and a couple to land. The deadline to ship was August 9. So everyone still has a couple days

 

[mikeysab]

It's been almost a week since I got a package. I'm having package withdrawals.

What's the hold up?! Show us the loot!

 

[mikeysab]

I don't get it. UPS came, but didn't leave me anything. I don't understand.

 

[thatjonguy]

Morning time at UPS is reserved for next day air deliveries in most areas. Then business deliveries. Then residential deliveries.

Maybe your sender paid for the new anti-theft invisibilty cloak so someone doesn't steal it off your porch. Crawl around on your hands and knees and carefully check every area of the porch.......

I agree. Now if only I had found hbt last June I could have been saved.
