This has always intrigued me, but I've never traded with anyone on here before. Probably pass, plus I don't have an iTrade score, but I'll look you up once I do!

Have you ever traded?

I think I went through a half dozen "trades" without an iTrader score, so I wouldn't stress over it.

Nope, I sure haven't, but I'm pretty sure I know how to buy, box up, and ship beer
I'll sit out this round anyways, even if I were to be granted in, just so I know what I'm getting into.

Don't be afraid, we don't bite and your also in Iowa and I enjoy Toppling Goliath beers. I say break your cherry!

@SailorJerry, the process is extremely simple!

Hmmm......as long as you guys are comfortable with me never having done this before. I'm certainly not going to say I'm participating, and then not send out the goods afterwards, but I'll let you guys decide if I'm worthy or not!
If anyone is worried whoever gets his pick we can just have a condition he has to send tracking information before his pick drops off and the recipient needs to confirm.

I have no worries, he's been a member for 7 years and he's a sailor!

I'm not that concerned, but I do see your point RevKev. Either way, I'd be okay with it.

@jimyson makes a good stout, eh? Very chocolatey and lightly carb'd. I am pretty sure I can use this as synthetic motor oil in my Subaru.
I'm okay with it haha I want him in no reservations! Just an idea if others scuffed

Wait, it had carbonation?! Haha. That was a keg hanging out in the corner of the basement that I had no idea of the carb level and needed the keg so bottled it. I would like it a bit more carbonated.
You are correct though, it's super thick.

Sounds like the Sailor is in.

When I opened it I had the same thought, so I poured it from a risky height...my version of forced carb. What little was there made its presence known.

Up to 14 now with @SailorJerry added. OP updated.

Ok, thanks guys! Now, I'll have to remember to keep checking this thread and find some random beers, and glassware, to throw in my giveaway box!

I use this site for trades as well, super helpful. If you click on your state you can sort by number of states the breweries distribute to and do a quick back search to see where the cutoff point falls.

Doesn't have to be glassware. We've made it to something from a local brewery, not just glassware.

The offer has been submitted, 1st in = Last pick

So I had the offer put aside a few weeks back, and uh... neglected to mention it to a certain someone I live with. So yeah, time to find more beer!

Lol, I keep all my trades in the garage. That doesn't really help because I'll dig through it each day and pull something unless I know we're opening a bottle of wine for dinner.
Anyways, I have some beer that I buy just for trades, and then I have beer that I buy for trades that never lasts long enough to trade

So, when we get our beer box all nice and ready, do we post it here or send it to the guy who started the thread?
TwistedGray

Use this post as an example - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=8025425&postcount=137
You will take a picture of your offer, and send that along with the links to the original poster (in this case @Jimyson). After they collect all the offers, all of the offerings will be shared with the group.

Thanks! I looked up some scores of the brews I've found so far, and I'm assuming a 99 on BA is a good score?
OP

@TwistedGray is correct. Send the pic and details to me via IM and I will post all offerings at once.
So how does it work?
1. If you're interested in participating, let us know in this thread.
2. Once you're confirmed as a participant, PM me a photo of your offering along with a link to something like beer advocate/ratebeer/untappd for each beer so that others can get an idea what they are.
3. A few days before the drawing I will post a full list of all the offerings and photos.
4. On the day before the pick I'll use a randomizer to create a drawing order. I will post a time for each participant that you are "On the Clock" with 5min between participants.
5. If you are not going to be around for the pick send me a pick list order so that I can put your pick in for you.
6. On pick day show up at your time slot to submit your pick. If you sent me a pick list I'll cover you. If you fail to send a list or show up you go to the end of the line.

7. Once someone picks you (as in, you need to ship to them) they generally will PM you their address information. You need to do the same proactively for whoever's offer you pick.
^ Should be self explanatory, but added this part for ****s and giggles.
Also, what has happened in the past is that people forget to submit a pick list, their 5 minutes elapses, and then are bumped down in the pecking order until they show up.
So if you know you could possibly NOT be around or miss the picks make sure to send your pick list else you might fall down in the line. Just a friendly FYI.

I've had Jackie O's from you in the past, and I like them a lot. I like all the sessions you sent (as in like them from the label). This was the first one that I have popped open as I've mainly been drinking all my homebrew to determine what to ship and what to ... ship for the HB trade.
Needless to say another Jackie O is in the fridge, and I'll promptly get to that tomorrow
