RULES AND SCORING
The Golden Rule of the Beer Swap is that EVERYONE MUST BRING (at least) A CASE OF BEER. This year the beer must be from Mexico and/or say Cerveza on it.
SCORING: Each participant will rate every beer (except their own) on the following scales: a scale of 1-10 for taste (with 10 as the best); a scale of 1-5 for name (with 5 as the best); a scale of 1-5 for label (with 5 as the best); and a scale of 1-3 for bottle cap (with 3 as the best). Under this system, the person with the highest score wins. A perfect score would be 23. An awful score would be 4.
As always, the "ultimate loser" will get to choose the theme for the next year and, more importantly, will have to host it.

BEER SWAP 2009
It is official. As is tradition, the Beer Swap 2009 will take place on December 13, 2009 during the Philadelphia Eagles game at the New York Giants. It is a Sunday Night game which starts at 8:20. Voting takes place at halftime.
This Year's theme is to be determined by the Ultimate Loser 2008 and 2009 host- Mr. Hoog

I leave you with an old Czech Proverb:
“A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it's better to be thoroughly sure.”
