Well so far I've traded it for other homebrew and about a pound in hops! This month I decided to give my first ever 'beer pass' a try. Essentially, names and addresses are drawn and paired. Each person is responsible for sending between 4 and 6 beers to their assigned person (think Secret Santa... but with beer!) The nice thing about participating in the Northern Brewer Forum beer pass is that since NB is a midwest based company, there is a good chance I won't have to ship my beer very far (St. Louis in this case). I ended up sending out two bottles of Alofskie's Russian Imperial Stout, one bottle of BBC English IPA, and one bottle of BBC Dubbel Down Ale. I haven't heard anything back with regards to any of the beers (although in a separate trade, I did hear back about BBC Dubbel Down... more on that later :) ). The person who sent me beer was in Michigan. He sent two bottles of an amber, two bottles of an alt, and two bottles of an IPA. If you're a homebrewer, I'd seriously encourage you to give the beer pass experience a try, it is a great opportunity to experience new beers and receive some feed back about your own beers. Ironically, this has some interesting parallels with what Matt was talking about with photo print exchanges. [...] [...] So just what sort of things can you trade home-brewed beer for?

Thanks for the tip. I'll contact you about a print swap. Those Moab 8 x 8 books might work. Thanks for the tip. I’ll contact you about a print swap.

Moab has 8 x 8 inch books and both Hahnemuhle and Innova make A4 books. They all work on the same loose leaf screw post design although there are subtle differences. If you prefer prints in wallets there are book designs around A4 that do this too. I only know of UK brands, but there must be some available in the US. Hey Matt,
