    Curious if there's any interest in doing a group growler swap. I've done it before, and it worked out well. I'm thinking a minimum of 64oz(obviously), with no extras expected. Any interest out there?

    Just a heads up that during the Spring and Fall months (ideal shipping weather) a Growling at the Moon BIF is organized around this very concept (although extras and schwag are encouraged).

    Just a heads up that during very warm shipping temperatures (Anything 80+ in my opinion) growlers have a tendency to age / oxidize and lose carbonation quickly which is why this GIF / BIF goes on hiatus during the summer / winter (when things can freeze if low enough ABV).

    If folks do go through with this in the summer, I'd suggest shipping on Mondays to ensure targets get their beer without it having to sit in a warehouse over a weekend.

    Cheers!

    Thanks for your opinion, but I dont recall it being asked. I'm pretty sure anyone that would be interested in the swap is well aware of the proper shipping methods to ensure a safe arrival.
    Not being rude, just stating my thoughts the same way you did. :slight_smile:

    Well, we have at least 10 people - if we can get around 15, I think it would be perfect. Anyone else interested?
