As far as i know though we have had no serious issues in the first 3 swaps of beer ruined in the winter or summer....but whenever you guys want to do is fine with me.


If we do a reschedule, don’t ship to my place in January. That is the worst month for shipping to Minnesota. Global Warming does not exist here. We get -0 degrees at any moment that entire month.

Ok, we have 12 members. Shipping every 3 weeks means this would last 36 weeks which is 9 months. So instead i staggered shipping 2 weeks, then 3, then, 2.....so we can finish in 7 1/2 months. Seems like a good compromise. If anyone is not ok with this, or cannot committ to shipping $25 worth of beer every 2-3 weeks, please speak now or forever hold your beer ;)
Here is calendar of who everyone ships to on each specific date:

July 20-Sparky27 104
Aug 10-kenb- 111
Aug-24-riversideAK 90
Sep 14-darknole 186
Sep 28-TheCheeseMan 83
Oct 19-alexsdad06 71
Nov 2-dkachur 39
Nov 23-TheRealBastard 33
Dec 7- scrizzz 27
Dec 28-Skyview 24
Jan 11-LilBeerDoctor 21
Feb 1-j12601 12


If possible, I’d like to be moved until later in the schedule - like end of Sept/October. I try to limit the amount of boxes I receive in the summer to avoid boxes sitting on my porch all day in 110 degree heat over the summer.


i think we are all in the same boat..but if someone wants to voluneer to switch?


I will swap spots, works for me because I will be out in CA on business the week I was originally scheduled to receive. Let me know.

Looks like it works out quite well for me. Are we going to get forwarded the lists (like the ones we put together) for upcoming recipients? 7/8/2009 9:52:20 PM

Yep, but not until we have agreement on the calendar, as i am only going to email the lists once. Once i send it, you are all stuck with adhering to it, barring a death in the family. I will send the list with adddresses to everyone on monday eve wink

Sounds good.

After a precursory glance through a couple of people’s want lists, it might be good for some of us to go through and maybe... add some stuff to them?

A few people on here have some nice looking want lists... just not much on them that’s remotely easy to obtain.

Looks great to me. Also, if another switch needs to happen, I’ll volunteer as my shipments are sent to my beer store and go straight in the cellar.

cheers!

Also, while I will work to fill out my wants to include beers people can actually get, just send stuff that I haven’t rated. Local for you is great for me.

cheers!
