Bue Paper Clip ----> Home Brewed Beer

[plumtreeblossom]

I've made my first trade! I am accepting the offer of warlord_mit to swap the paperclip for one bottle of home brewed beer, and I understand he's a damn fine brewer. I won't be drinking it myself, however, I'll be swapping it up in the next trade toward my goal! I'll post once we do the trade and I can take a picture of the beer, and swap #2 will commence.

warlord_mit, I don't have your e-mail, so can you hit me at the address on my userpage, and the soon-to-be-famous blue paperclip will be yours. :-)

I think I'll start a new LJ for this project. I'm just having too much fun.

Well hell, I'll never give Massachusetts the blanket description of "progressive" again. I understand their desire to protect revenue streams, since they're not getting their tax nibble. But there are thousands of homebrewers and winemakers in the state. Do they have to do their swaps cloak & daggar style?

New York's laws must be different. In Rochester there was a large international beer store that had a homebrew swap station in the back. You could bring up to 6 12-ounce bottles of your brew at a time and take an equal number of other homebrews of your choice, no cash exchanged. The liquor store owners just provided the free service out of passion for homebrewing. Apparently that wouldn't fly in this state.

Massachusetts tends to be socially progressive, but very conservative fiscally. There's a reason why we've had republican governors for what, two decades?
