Swap-O-Rama #3, ANTI LOCAL!

[TheMan]

Johnnyhitch just hit on the other reason dollar amount doesnt work. Its subjective.
I said it before, volume limit is the way to go. Its free beer, after all...

I'm not sure the lotto system would work. If theres a winner each month and theres 20 guys, this goes on for almost two years. Are all 20 participants going to be actively swapping in 20 months? Probably not. Also, theres going to probably be times where not everyone is able to participate, for whatever reason. So someone isn't going to get the right amount of beer on those rounds.

The swap o rama style works fine. Everyone GETS 200 oz and everyone SENDS 200 oz. You dont wanna participate, sit a round out, no problem.

Thats just the way I see it.

I think the intention is just to win some free beer, and your entry fee if you wanted to join, would be to send a bomber to the winner. Not necessarily the same people every round.

For example, you could play ten times and never win. Or you could play twenty time and never win...conversely you could win five times.

I have 4-5 local breweryes that bottle in bombers and they are some of the best/freshest beer in my area....because a bomber is 6$ that makes it ****ty???

Black listed!? This is HBT, the guy went out bought a bomber he liked (apparently not your standards) spent money on shipping supplies took time out of this day and then payed MORE to ship it across the country, and because its "cheap" beer (that you cant get i might add) you want them blacklisted from participating?

Slow up, I was being cynical and predicting someone getting upset and PURPOSEFULLY sending the cheapest thing they could find, not because it was great local beer, because it was cheap. The lotto he is describing isn't a local swap, just a fun beer lotto. I recanted right before you posted stating the beer community is generous and I agree a $ limit didn't need to be imposed. I am on your side that good beer is good beer regardless of price.

Exactly. . . either way you will be getting free beer. Its supposed to be for fun. Just throwing some ideas around. Sorry to invade your thread. Just an idea I had. I think it will work everyone I have dealt with on here is more than generous

Please keep in mind the forum rules, and that all organized HBT swaps must be coordinated by a premium supporter or a moderator. Before your swap is approved, you'll have to let us know the details for approval. Please do this before promising a swap across the forum.

Just had an idea for a future trade. It may have to be limited or have multiple groups, but each person would pick their favorite local beer or two and send it to all other participants. If groups were 6-10 you would wind up with 6-10 of the best beers from around the country.

I like this idea for a trade. Some really smart, handsome, amazing brewer posted it a while back. Okay, it was me :fro:, but it was so long ago I thought I would throw it out again now that things are winding down. Shipping would be a bit much, but so was shipping 25-30 LBS of beer.

I'm probably well under the requirement to get in on random trades but would love to throw my hat in.

Consider yourself thanked I'm wondering if there are any local to Philly swaps in person. I'm always trying to expand my pallet.

Beeradvocate might be a better chance for that. Most places have bottle shares from time to time.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice
