Message StefanSD beers 2449 º places 57 º 15:45 Wed 11/12/2014 Originally posted by TheHOFF43 One positive thing I’ll add is that I’ve organized a lot of these swaps and the participants are usually terrific, but its usually the same group of us doing them. A lot of the people that are participating in this swap are the "usuals" I refuse to be known as one of the "usuals," regardless of how usual I may be. "Usual suspects" now that fits me better, been rounded up a few times too.

A lot of the people that are participating in this swap are the "usuals" Which I’m guessing makes it that much more challenging to find stuff that the other person hasn’t already tried. You’d be surprised by the number of beers people haven’t tried that are local to you. There are a lot of beers out there.

Message nimbleprop P beers 15455 º places 134 º 17:18 Thu 11/13/2014 This was supposed to be a six bottle trade right?
Message nimbleprop P beers 15455 º places 134 º 17:29 Thu 11/13/2014 .... Because ICEatALAMO sent me a full 12 bottle shipper with the following: 750ml Leelanau Michilimackinac Imperial Stout (barrel aged by Jolly Pumpkin) 750ml Dark Horse Local Option Militiagan Potable Oat Wine 22oz Against the Grain / Stillwater Tall Tale 12oz Short’s Quasar Dank 12oz Short’s Pan Galactic Gargleblaster 12oz Odd Side Bourbon Barrel Aged Mayan Mocha 12oz Odd Side Imperial Bourbon Barrel Aged Mayan Mocha 12oz Dark Horse Monster 29 12oz Dark Horse Brandy Barrel 4 Elf 12oz Greenbush Brother Benjamin 16oz Right Brain CEO Stout 16oz Griffin Claw 3 Scrooges Honestly, I’m not sure anyone got a better box. I told Brian I was interested in interesting/hard to find locals and unrated Short’s beers that weren’t gross. He killed it. Thanks everyone.

Message ICEatALAMO beers 1366 º places 18 º 08:24 Fri 11/14/2014 Well some of those were only 12ozers. Glad you like. Hard comig up with solid stuff for someone with 5,000+ ratings. Plus I was a slacker on getting the box out. Hope you enjoy! And thanks for you patience and your tips on DC. Amist all the drama of this BIF I’ve had fun. Thanks all!
