Welcome to Round III of the Fellowship of the Drink swap.
This is a beer swap for members of the continental US to allow you to try some beers from outside your region. Every participant picks a few beers as their offer and then we devise a draw order and go down the list until everyone has picked an offer to receive. If you want to take a look at how the previous two operated the links are here:
Fellowship of the Drink Trading Thread
Fellowship of the Drink II: The Two (beer) Towers
So how does it work?
If you're interested in participating post in this thread. Once you're confirmed as a participant PM me a photo of you offering along with a link to it's page on something like beer advocate/ratebeer/etc. A few days before the drawing I will post a full list of all the offerings and photos. On the drawing day I'll use a randomizer (swear that's a word) to create a random drawing order. Everyone will get a short period of time to then claim their desired offering in the order created.
Rules
And there must be rules. This is open to all active forum members of legal drinking age. The active requirement is meant to prevent someone not following through. I will make the final determination on "active" but the basic guidelines are you must have been a member for a few months with at least 50 posts
I would like to limit this to 25 participants which is a slight increase from Round II
Offer Guidelines
Offers from the first two rounds
Round I
Round II
