New club activity idea!!

[Patrick Sundberg]

JG has 12 cases of homebrew on hand...

I have a fridge full of remnants of 6 packs...

And I sometimes get tired of a beer by the end of a 5 gallon batch...

 

How about a regular beer swap?

We could incorporate it as part of any get-together.

Bring a six pack of homebrew or commercial beer, go home with a mixed six pack!

 

 

 

I make a motion to incorporate a sixer swap as part of any BOBS activity.

 

Can I get someone to second or ammend the motion?

 

 

[Jesse Grant]

I 2^nd and approve this motion.

 

GREAT IDEA.  When I get done with my walk in cooler at home, I would even be happy to store your overstock!

We could use a case of clamp-top bottles to ease the exchange of kegged beer.  I don't have any as of this date.  You want my keg beer, you bring clamp-tops for filling.  I want your beer, I bring clamp-tops for trade.  Capiche?

As soon as I find a keg lock...

 

Motion passed.  We will do a "sixer swap" at our next meeting.

 

If everyone brings a six pack of one type of beer...

and noone wants to go home with the same beer the brought...

 

That settles it!  We need to have AT LEAST seven people at our next meeting!

 

If you haven't been to a meeting yet, I'd encourage you to stop by.  If it's been a while, we've missed you!

 

Look for meeting specifics in an upcoming email, but set the evening of the 13th aside for BOBS!

 

Keep brewing!

Not that I don't trust anyone, but my swingtops are much to precious for me to let any of them out of my sight.

My reasoning behind 12oz bottles is that they are more readily available and less valuable to the average homebrewer.  Not everyone has swingtops and I don't want to exclude anyone from the exchange.  We could look at it in the future as a club fundraiser to sell empty bottles for the exchange, but I'd rather keep it simple at this time.

 

I'm not opposed to bringing empty bottles for filling, but if you bring a full 12 oz crown bottle, you'll get a swap for another full 12 oz bottle.

 

I also want to keep it open to commercial beer since some may not have brew on hand, or time to get some into bottles.  (and I can't seem to be able to make it through a six pack of commercial brew before I get bored).  Only a few commercial examples are swingtops.

 

Keep brewing!

Sounds like one of you 2 is a beer schnob.  But I can’t quite figure out which one it is!

I'm offended!

 

How could you even think that I'm NOT a beer snob!
