    My favorite time of year is right around the corner and, if you’re like me, you’ve been anticipating the bombardment of pumpkin, Oktoberfest and stouts that are headed our way. While pumpkin ales came a bit too early for my liking, I’ve been dying to start trying out quite a few of the new ones that have recently hit the market.

    In celebration of this wonderful season of beer, let’s all get together and share a pint of this tasty brew.

    Here’s how it’s going go down.

    Participant Requirements
    1. Must have at least one BIF/trade under your belt. Make sure you have this listed in your profile so I can verify.
    2. Must be able to ship out no later than October 18, 2013.
    3. Update your wants list to include Pumpkin/Oktoberfest beers you want to give a try.
    4. Try to hit at least one of your targets wants. Try sending stuff not within targets distro. Check out www.seekabrew.com to see what your target doesn’t get that you may be able to acquire.
    Rules
    1. A minimum of 110oz. must be shipped. Maximum limit of 200oz.
    2. The breakdown of bottles will be at least:
      1. Pumpkin Beers (minimum of 85 BA Score or rAvg of 3.7)
      2. 3 Marzen/Oktoberfest Beers (minimum of 80 BA Score or rAvg of 3.55)
      3. 3 Stouts/Barrel-Aged Stouts (minimum of 90 BA Score or rAvg of 3.9)
    3. One piece of swag.
    4. One box/bag of candy.
    5. Must ship out by October 18, 2013 so everyone gets their box in time for Halloween.
    How to Join

    1. Send me a BM with your name, address, shirt size, and favorite type of candy.
    2. Participation is limited to first 40 people who BM me. Minimum participation of at least 15. Registration cutoff date is September 15.
    3. Target information will be sent out by me the day after the cutoff date or max participation, whichever comes first.

    Id say put me down for a maybe. I am trying to figure out if i can put together a good enough box with Michigan's crappy distro on pumpkin/oktoberfest beers. The stout is not an issue.

    Gotcha. Putting you down for the time being. Let me know if things change. You have up until Oct. 15th so better brews might get to you by then. Who knows.
