Fellowship of the Drink XVIII - XVIII and Life

[fourfarthing]

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.

So how does it work?
1. If you're interested in participating, post your interest in this thread!
2. Once you're confirmed as a participant I will keep a running list, the order in which you sign up will correlate to your number in the random number generator. You should 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. If you don’t send links to your beer offerings, I will confiscate all packages that you send.
3. A few days before the drawing I will post a full list of all the offerings and photos and use a randomizer to create a drawing order. I will post a time for each participant that you are "On the Clock" with 5 minutes between participants.
4. 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.
5. On pick day log in 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. If you show up late, you can get into the pick after the person currently picking.

Rules, there must be rules..
- Continental US residents only
- Must be of legal drinking age

- Participants must also meet 1 of the following 4 requirements:
1) A HBT member for 6 months and minimum of 2 iTrader rating. All trades must be 100% positive.
2) A HBT member for 6 months and 0 or 1 iTrader 100% positive rating, but trading experience verified by a qualified FotD participant.
3) A previous FotD participant.

-The final rule is the participant must give feedback on itrader of their experience.

Offer Guidelines
- Each offering should be at least 3-6 cans or bottles of commercial beer, preferably local to the sender, but please no more than 86oz total in the pictured offering.
- Each offering must also contain at least 1 non-beer item; glassware, stickers, coozies, etc of a local brewery you can get creative.
- You additionally may also offer some homemade beverages with the commercial offerings (we all love trying homebrew, let's be honest).
- Whales are not required or expected. Myself included most participants are very happy trying beers they may have never even known existed from small breweries local to you. Let's think about those untappd tings.
- Guidelines are just that, guidelines. Final shipments may, and many times do, exceed the offering posted. Extras are not required.

Offers from previous rounds:

It beat out barely legal (shipping pun intended) solely based upon my age. AJ Green was in play, but only for a minute.

You bastards keep pulling me back in...

 

[wstbrewing]

I’m in if you’ll have my late shipping A$z. 18 and life is fitting for this one...

Let’s see, in the last month my wife and I walked for graduation (her with a Masters and me with a doctorate), I changed jobs (still in higher education tho), we’re working on selling our condo and buying a house, and well... it looks like I’m gonna be a father.

Other than our families, you guys are the first to know. (Unless my wife told someone else this week...)

Definitely interesting times.

[Thorrak]

Oooooh man. Maybe I've had one too many of these, but the fact that I'm drinking out of FotD glassware means I have to be in on this round!

 

[baldm79]

Man I want to join so badly but I’m going to have to sit this one out. I’ll be moving in July and I need to save whatever money I can between now and then.

 

[TallDan]

I haven't done any trades or anything for quite some time. You drew me in with the title/music video, then i had to post some congrats to @wstbrewing (congrats!). So, if you'll have me, I'm in.

Suggestion for 19: Beers gone wild: Woo! Party!

[aharri1]

I'm in. Been collecting some specialty brews to prepare!

 

[TBC]

So for the record I’m a HUGE Sebastian Bach fan! Grew up on that chit! I originally had no plans on participating in this round because I wasn’t going to shop before we go on vacation. I plan on spending more than enough on our trip.

Now if the guys participating want me to play I will with the understanding that my offer will be a New England offer. I have an agenda planned out with a list of breweries that I plan on visiting that you can read about in my thread that I’m going to create tomorrow! I will put a link in this thread if you want. Also if I participate the member that chooses me can give me a wish list since I will be leaving right after the pick date. Finally if I participate I obviously won’t be shipping until I return to PA the end of July.

If you guys want then I’ll join. If not no big deal I’ll get in on 19th Nervous Breakdown.

 

[JCasey1992]

Just noticed this. I'm in too if it's not too late.
