I think we should start up a beer sharing circle. We get (for example) 5 people in the circle. Person 1 sends a beer to person 2, 2 sends to 3 and so on until all 5 get a beer from someone else.After that we randomize the numbers and do it again. This way each person gets something from someone else each time we run the circle.New additions will be added at the end of each cycle.what way you?DanBeer sharing listBrewmanMtnBrewerBIKtRedrez77

Attention former greenboarders! Didn't we do something like this one time? Some of us had done cigar passes and we tried to organize something similar but I forget exactly how it worked. I remember that I got some beers from Dale one time that were really good.I'm all for it but the main drawback is that shipping beer is a pain right in the butt.

Im thinking one bottle and we can use the same box each time. I can make up a 2 part foam mold for the bottle that we can all use. Ill set up the order and run everything. Dan

That would definitely make it easier as long as that box didn't get beat to shit traveling all around the country. What would you say to two bottles instead of just one?

Yes, two beers arrive, you replace them with two of your beers and send to the next guy. I assume we want to limit this to homebrew?

To make it less shipping intensive we could ship to outposts of brewers- a city to city beer exchange?And like was said earlier when shipping, declare them something other than beer, or you will not be allowed to ship them.
