    A few points.

    1. Yes it is me sitting in the chair in my pic. Lol
    2.I enjoy the thrill of the hunt
    3.my chair is more of a foldable stool. 3 legged thing very small. Better then standing and best $10 I have spent
    4.great input community!
    Also
    I have found in my area you can't have them "hold beer" only one of 3 places does a call list and if you wait untill it arrives on Twitter it's too late. I can use Twitter to get an approximate time frame on the week or day it comes in then I have to call and just wait.

    I put in as much effort as I feel, but it's pretty limited compared to some, I would say. I make out alright for beer I'm aware of, released locally, but I'm sure there is a massive list of beer I've already accepted I'll probably never try. And that's okay. Not a line person nor a trader.

    Initially, I used a shotgun, but it turned out to be too messy. Next, I used a bow and arrow, but only caught a few cans...

    On a serious note, I really on BeerMenus and going down to BevMo each weekend. I don't have the time nor inclination to create a relationship with the beer guy/gal at the other bottle shops that I go to occasionally...

    I'm lucky enough to have two stores that are great at Facebook updates and email updates. Generally the same distributors hit both on the same day, so when one posts I have a good idea what the second will have later in the day (with the second store being much closer to both my work and house). Makes it rather easy to 'chase' something down when I have to. Also helps to have some recognition at a store of your preference.
