    Hot damn on the Funky Buddah haul! Jeeebus.

    I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

    Hey everyone! My buddy @azuelke directed me over here to BA. I moved to Denver 6 months ago. I have 25 completed trades through Reddit /r/beertrade. I would like to participate in your next trade if possible. Cheers!

    @locoformavs: welcome!

    @ECOBOOSTINST: if you say 'have yet to try..." around here usually that tends to lead to something, eventually. usually...

    Glad to see you made it in here @locoformavs!

    I will sponsor him for this round, we did a mail trade as well as met up in Denver while I was on vacation. More than generous, and I hear he some some local cans, maybe of rum variety, if anyone might be interested :wink:

    Here's some easy photobucket instructions courtesy of @LehighAce06

    1 On your phone, take a pic.
    2 On your computer, sign up for photobucket.
    3 On your phone, download the Photobucket app.
    4 On your phone, in the Gallery, "Share" it to Photobucket, and then click to upload it.
    5 On your computer, go to Photobucket, log in, click on the picture you uploaded.
    Click on the "Direct" link which will copy the link.
    6 On BA, click on the picture (next to where the emojis are) and paste in the link you copied. Click Ok.

    I love the recruiting efforts around here, we've amassed quite a few (new) newbies for this round! Just a reminder that I'm closing this down on Saturday at midnight, so there's still time to sign up! I'll get targets out on Sunday or Monday.

    Also, to both the new guys and the veterans, don't forget: now is a good time to UPDATE YOUR WANTS. This will seriously help your sender tailor a box of great beer that fits in with your preferences. Otherwise you might just end up with a box full of Swamp Ape from FL (just kidding, we all know those dudes are incapable of sending bad boxes).

    One more thing...not one but TWO Newbie veterans decided they wanted to (anonymously) provide a beer prize for whoever puts together the best box. So after all haul pics have been posted and all wrapped beers have been consumed (this will give you incentive to drink those wrapped beers sooner), I'll put out a call for votes and participants from this round can send me their pick for Best Box. The two people with the most votes will receive a prize box.

    I'm going to tag all 24 of you who have signed up so far. If you're not on here but want to participate in this round, send me a BM! Posting in batches of five so everyone gets a notification.

    The world needs less Steeler fans, believe me.

    ISO the man sending all the Casey and Rum cans for my sender!

    Oh boy, you really are new :slight_smile: Prepare your porch

    Please, update your wants~!!!!! Another easy pro tip, if you like certain styles (for instance, you love hops, you kind of like stouts, you hate sours and you haven't had many BA beers) try to add some beers to your want list to reflect that. If your sender looks in your wants and out of 100 beers listed (75 of them are hops), they will do their best to send you hops. Then they can round out your box with new things to try and to hit some other likes, etc.

    Like I said before, look at all the potential sender's states and on the beer page here, on the right side just click on each person's state to see the Top 100 beers there and click on a few things that sound interesting so you'll have a wide range of options.

    Cheers!!!!
