After last year's beer swap cured the original COVID variant, we are back on for in-person swapping for the 2021-22 season. Here are the details:
DATE: January 9, 2022 at 1:00 pm during the Eagles game against the Dallas Football Team.
LOCATION: Colin and Rachael’s House (Horsham, PA) - address will be sent in the text message exchange
RULES: This year, the theme is THE MUG SWAP! Here are the requirements:
1) You must bring one case of beer to be exchanged. You can bring any type of beer (bottles or cans) you want - no restrictions;
2) You must bring a beer mug (new, not used!) that will also be exchanged – (BE WILLING TO PART WAYS WITH THE MUG);
3) Now the fun part -> the mug must be related to the beer you bring. You will be judged about how creatively the beer relates to the mug. Some examples:
Example #1: You bring a beer from Ballast Point Brewery and a mug with the Ballast Point logo on it. C'mon man - this ain't that creative. You will score low on creativity and should be ashamed. Seek counseling.
Example #2: You bring a beer from Anchor Brewing Company in San Francisco and bring a mug with an Alcatraz logo on it. Okay I see what you did there.- trying to tie the beer and mug together by the City. Not bad, but creativity is entirely subjective and no telling what this crowd would do with it.
Example #3: You bring one of the Ales of the Revolution from Yards, and you bring a pewter beer mug. You better be prepared to justify this nonsense. You will have to explain that pewter mugs were commonly used in Colonial times and that our forefathers likely consumed many an ale from pewter mugs as they were planning to revolt against England. This seems creative to me, but someone else might think this is B.S. Good luck!
4) Scoring: The score will be based on 65% Taste and 35% mug/creativity;
5) At the end of the swap, mugs will be exchanges as follows: The Winner goes first and selects the mug of their choice. Second place goes next- and do on - until the Ultimate Loser gets the last, scrap mug left over;
6) Don't forget -> the Ultimate Loser hosts this next year!
One Reminder- Please text me before you buy the beer. WE HATE DUPLICATES and you will be dinged for it!! (DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES IS MIDNIGHT – 1/8/2022)
I will continue to circulate an updated list of beer called in, so we are all on the same page
