[QUOTE="Drive XR7, post: 14455985, member: 43230"] I facilitated a similar idea on another forum. I had everyone PM me their full names, addresses, and preferred type of beer. Then I randomized it similar to a Secret Santa where you would get the info of someone and mail them local beers of their favorites varieties. Then you would receive your favorite style beers from someone else in another part of the country. Require people ship via UPS and package very very well. I would put each bottle individually in a plastic sealable bag, then wrap in bubble wrap, in a box with additional padding on the outside. It's not legal to ship alcohol across state lines without a dealer permit, but you can ship "yeast samples" which is what I stated was in the box when I would ship. When the beer would arrive, the receiver would drink and post reviews about the beers they got. It was pretty fun, but we only did one round because shipping/packaging was relatively expensive (about $20-30 plus beer). I learned that in the mid Southern states (Texas, Oklahoma, Nevada, New Mexico), they have crap beer -- pale ales and light beers... nothing with some robust flavor like a nice porter, stout, or IPA. If you decide to organize something, I would be interested in doing it. [/QUOTE]
