And don't worry about dupes as they'll be going to different people in different places - I'm sure there'll be plenty of dupes from us southerners!<br /><br />As for Posterous, I don't know what that is... I think Andy will sort that out though. And RM, I'll put that all together for the end of the week.Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-84414257597304215052009-10-19T16:06:24.381+01:002009-10-19T16:06:24.381+01:00Mark, Andy,

It was much more fun if you didn't know who your box was coming from, it being from a different person than to the box recipient you sent. Should work well for the beer thing too...Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173791294052288116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-90091920083770388732009-10-17T19:01:28.349+01:002009-10-17T19:01:28.349+01:00sounds like a good idea mate, glad u had fun at th...sounds like a good idea mate, glad u had fun at the brewery!BeerReviewsAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549567405003804994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-72422774994187113932009-10-17T18:10:55.855+01:002009-10-17T18:10:55.855+01:00I've just got back from a local micro brewery ...I've just got back from a local micro brewery (Nutbrook) where they took me through each stage of a live brewing process. It was very cool and I will be churning through the pics and video later to make a blog post. I know where two of my beers will be coming from for sure!<br /><br />I was wondering if it was worth making a Beerswap Posterous where every participant is a contributor - that way we could cross post everything even if it also exists on our own blogs. It would be a central deposit linking off to all the individual blogs.<br /><br />Anyway, time for a beer ... <br /><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/richardmackney" rel="nofollow">@richardmackney</a>Volkscamperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12868357662452211373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-34350392761834589772009-10-17T13:01:18.786+01:002009-10-17T13:01:18.786+01:00Still no text from couriers, but the part B of tes...Still no text from couriers, but the part B of test swap is well under way with the discovery of beers from 2 unknown breweries in the local area. four bottles will be winging their way to moggy very soon!Mark, Real-Ale-Reviews.comhttp://real-ale-reviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-1814883150642515572009-10-17T12:13:26.135+01:002009-10-17T12:13:26.135+01:00Nice one fella!
