And now that the Halloween Sixer is complete, back by popular demand, A Very Merry Newbies Christmas 2019!!! Its been a couple years since we last did a Christmas round, so I figured it was about damn time to bring it back! The requirements: Minimum 100oz, 4.0+ BA/untappd rating unless it is a want of your target. Please try to stick to the ratings requirements, there have been a handful of beers in the past recent rounds that didn't quite hit the required rating. The only special requirements this time around is that there be a piece of swag (sticker, shirt, hat, glass, etc.) be included, as well as ONE container of beer be wrapped as a "present" to be unwrapped, and posted to BA, by your target on December 25th, 2019. It does not have to be consumed that day, but please VBS it in a timely fashion. The only stipulation I am putting on this "present" is that it should be just that; a present (in your eyes) from you to your target. This could be a want, a whale, or even a "karma bottle", for example. In the spirit of the holiday, I am throwing the other "normal" rules and/or regulations out the window. It is possible that your target this round may be a repeat from another round, from a neighboring state, from the same state, or maybe possibly, from the same household! This is open to any past participants or lurkers. Newbie Newbies looking to join with fewer than 5 positive trades will require a sponsor - if that's you, just speak up and we'll figure something out! The timeline: Given the timing of this round, please aim to have your box in your target's hands no later than December 14th. We have all sent beer mail and should know how long it should take a box to go from point A to point B, so plan accordingly, especially with the holiday packages being shipped. Problems may arise in shipping times because of the time of year, which is why it is best to ship sooner than later. Send me a PM with the following information (title the message Newbies Xmas 2019 so I can easily reference it.) Name, shipping address, and cellphone number Preferred Swag, Shirt size (just in case) Any 'Do Not Ship' dates (i.e. you’ll be out of town) Untappd username Style likes/dislikes I would like to close sign-ups by this Thursday and randomly assign targets Friday so that you may start stalking your target and procuring your bottles as soon as possible.
Day 6 from @brewnic was a thick banger, smelled of serious chocolate and other goodies. Great MF. the reveal was a BT Cocomac which was one of the better pours I’ve had in 2019. Awesome way to end this! kills shot of the 6 days from @brewnic , fun stuff right there, bummed to see it come to a close.
Unfortunately I’ll be on vacation from 12/22-12/29 so I guess..... I’ll have to post my VBS late this round!
