7th Annual DP Secret Beer Santa (2017)

[vortec42]

Even though it's quiet here, let's try to keep the tradition going.

I'll copy the rules clwatt's post from last year, but I'm not exactly volunteering to run this...
http://www.daveposters.com/forum/sho...r-Santa-(2016)

[quote]On to the rules:
1. You must be 21, no exceptions!
2. Beer should be shipped by (TBD when we get our shit together)
3. It's the thought that counts. This is about giving not receiving.
4. This is supposed to be fun. If you want to complain about what you receive, then please don't participate.


2-22oz bombers or 1 750 ml bottle
1 12oz fall/winter brew
These can be local, or just something you enjoy
I think we tried to keep it $15 last year but not sure if it went that way

Please respond to this thread headcount style if interested. Someone will pm everyone once we've finalized the list to confirm they will still participate as well as get address's and then send who has who. Don't forget to include your city and/or state so we can stay outside of the same region. And uptappd link so we can make sure it's new stuff. We'll be pm'ing everyone who participates about their favorite style or an example of their favorite beer.

Here's the list so far from our discussion in the general beer thread:

1) DMBNirvana - ? (Indy-ish I think - I dunno, last year he signed up as Chicago)
2) vortec42 - Detroit - https://untappd.com/user/alecep
3) gocav23 - Charlotttesville - https://untappd.com/user/gocav23
4) WastingTime - Pittsburgh - https://untappd.com/user/TheSaints10
5) PhishDMB - Boston - https://untappd.com/user/roostercogburn

Let's try and get some more! Last year we had 14. ( http://www.daveposters.com/forum/sho...l=1#post715664 )

[vortec42]

I sent a PM (through here) to the following guys who have participated in the last few years but haven't signed up yet: Bluee2, deludo, MUZZ, saxlover, HighRollerII, mtrovato328, School, clwatt3, DMBTattoo, TheOcean, usfice6. If I missed anyone, let them know. And if you have a better way to contact them, go ahead and do so...

I'm thinking we should try to wrap up the list by Wednesday (Dec 13th)? Sound good? Who wants to organize this from here? (not me!)

Reached out to Dennis and John. I can help organize if needed as well. Kurt and I split the list last year so it was a surprise for us.

Also, to help speed things up, does everyone wants to send me your addy and likes now? Thats usually the hold up.

[clwatt3]

Good to go.

[WastingTime]

done.

[DMBNirvana]

sent.

Seems like beer Santa is the most action this site gets all year!!

[PhishDMB]

where am I sending this box of beer?

[clwatt3]

I still need 1-2 addresses. Lets plan on sending the week after xmas or new years. Hope to give everyone a target by this weekend.

[mtrovato328]

Might be easier to do a January trade? Boxes out by 1/6?

I am out of town next week as I am sure others are too?

Just wanted to throw it out there, but I am down for whatever

[PhishDMB]

no rush

Thats what I was thinking. I know Im planning to ship on the 8th so the box isnt sitting in a warehouse over the weekend.

[proudestmarky]

So the $15 from the OP is low right? I am planning on sending a couple bombers that were around $20 each. Would guess that’s the case with most? Just wondering how close people stick to that number if at all. Thanks and happy holidays!

[PhishDMB]

^^I have generally treated that limit with blatant disregard

[vortec42]

Just sent my address, a little late. Thanks for organizing, clwatt!

Like Joe said, I dont think anyone follows the $15. Those rules have remained the same since the first secret santa. Beer was a bit different back in 2010. Take a look at some of the photos from the previous years for reference.

I'll send out addresses out at some point today. Thanks for participating folks.
