Tecmo Madison XII: The beer swap thread

Recommended Posts

I says YES!

 

I am staying at the Super 8 South, cell is :seven 4 zero-3 five 2-sixty eight zero 6. I'll get the powers to be a room number upon arrival so we can spread the word.

 

With that being said, what is the method for exchange here? Just have guys trade one for one or even 6 for 6? I know some guys are wanting certain brews.

Or we doing something like a white elephant christmas exchange? We could even do something like musical beers if people can't decide what they want.

Awesome.

 

I suspect that we'll be trading one for one mostly. It's my goal to bring back as many different variety as possible and I'll have a mix of stuff.

I hope the Goose Island isn't too widely distributed. I feel like this is a solid mix of Chicago area beers.

 

Could have a mini tournament and have the bottle of Sofie donated to whoever wins.

In the midwest it is as AB InBev bought them in 2011 though not sure about the coasts. The rest of them i'm not familiar with.

I figured their Honkers ale and 312 would be all over the place. I wasn't too sure if stuff like the Sofie or Matilda was widely distributed.

Popping my cherry here with this post and tourney. I'd be down to do some trading for some hoppy brews.  Wisco and Madison in particular have a bunch of gems in this category and I'd love to trade for some others especially Chitown breweries like Solemn Oath, Pipeworks, and 3 Floyds.  Zombie Dust anyone?

MY ITEMS UP FOR TRADE:

 

Land Grant - Deep Search Baltic Porter - Columbus OH

Four String - Brass Knuckle Pale Ale - Columbus OH (always on tap at Grandad's Pizza and Pub, the host site of Tecmo Columbus - Tupa Bowl II)

Rhinegeist - Truth IPA - Cincinnati OH (HAD to grab it. None of the Vogts are at Madison and we just got it on tap a couple weeks ago at the Pub).
Elevator - Bleeding Buckeye Red Ale - Columbus OH

 

Look forward to trading on Friday!

If Fantasy Factory is on tap at Badger Bowl, the Plaza, or whichever bar you're at, make sure to order one. The premier Madison IPA at the moment. Also the best bottle packaging ever.

 

If anyone is looking to kill time and/or drink beers upon arrival at the airport, the city of Madison is happy to offer you a microbrewery outpost in the actual airport, then a better microbrewery itself within a mile of the airport. Very good beer/ambiance here: http://aleasylum.com/aboutus-info/aboutus-location/
