    I have no idea if this site will catch on, but I think it's a good idea. It allows you to search by location to find homebrewers near you to trade homebrew with. I signed up for the funsies but since it just launched today, there's not anyone near me yet. I thought I'd post it here just in case anyone was interested.

    Note: the site is running very, very slow I assume due to the new-ness and traffic from the press release going out. Not a good start, but whatever.

    There's another sited out there that does that too.. http://brewshuffle.com/

    Not sure how successful it's been, I like the idea too, but I don't think it's catching on.

    I had an idea for an app for this awhile back, but alas, I have no technical skills

    Haha, I got someone like 90 miles away. To be fair, the site just launched today.

    It's called a homebrew club, there may be one in your area...

    You have to pay to be in a homebrew club and you have to have the free time to attend. With one kid and one on the way, I barely find free time to brew, let alone go to club meetings on a random weekday night.
