Swap-O-Rama #4, Bomb's Away!!

[TheMan]

That apply to everyone, or at least all Illinois residents?

I mean, if you let me and pluchar in, you'll have our addresses, you can show up and "convince" us to get our beer sent out.

Haha, Ill apply it to you as well.

 

[pluchar]

Youll be at 100 in no time...I got a deal for you though. If you become a supporting member, ill guarantee you a spot in the next round. (Gotta pimp hbt a little once in a while lol)

Sold. I'll be signing up tonight!

I also saw today that the full Malted Jacket you sent to me took home awards for the strong category. I'm waiting until my father in law visits next to crack that one. He can talk about Vietnam, I'll talk about Afghanistan and we'll drink till its gone lol

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Oooo just had an idea...what if we swap out regional GAFB winners for all categories?

Yea beachwood won a handful of medals. Too bad out of all of those brews only 3 are bottled but, are extremely limited. Their udder love milk stout was bottled and released last week and it seems it's all sold out. Well sounds like that malted jacket will be a good bottle to share some stories.

Yea I only tell my stories when I'm loaded and apparently he's the same way. I think k the only reason I was aloud to marry is daughter was because I was a Marine.

Anybody else like that idea or have a way to set parameters?

Looking at the GAFB list of winners from my area they seem to be seasonal limited, not bottled or have a wide distro or only served at the brewery. I guess I can send out some Budweiser select or natural ice! I think maybe 1 or 2 min from GAFB winners.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Didn't natty ice place in some obscure category that everybody forgot about?

 

[bcros80]

Wow I completely forgot today was the 14th, good thing theman is holding off! I'm def down for the swag again that was sweet. I like the GABF idea too

American cream ale Gold

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

American cream ale Gold

Lol yea that's the ticket. Let's bill this fizzy yellow liquid as an American Cream Ale. I'm appaled that that stuff is labeled as American.

 

[bcros80]

I know. Hilarious. Even more hilarious it won a damn gold

 

[bcros80]

Pabst took home multiple medals as well. Ha!

Have to give something for the hipster group I guess.

Think about it though, no one else really brews those categories. Its just those mass production breweries. I dont see any craft breweries challenging them...

Here goes an idea to help with this issue if we go this route. Open up the range to say....three years back. I'm from Podunk Ohio. Nothing in my area placed recently but j could send some BA BORiS the crusher. I wouldn't put too such stock in distribution because it seemed that there are less power house craft brewers on this list and a lot more smaller micro brews.

I'm really excited about a new round! I had to sit out the 3rd and missed the 4th by a couple hours... I'm torn on the GABF theme. It'd be great to get to try some, but it would've tough for me to get many on my end and I live in a great area for dist usually

Look who just secured their spot in the next round! Nicely done.

I am going to give pluchar a bonus perk in the next round for going the extra mile for hbt.

You all will see what I mean when I start the next round.

 

[absoluthamm]

I want to get in on it this time as well. Missed every one so far due to not checking the section since my last trade.

I am not affiliated financially with hbt or anything, just think its a great site and deserves the support it gets.
