Way OT--Great Christmas Tradition involving beer.

Eight years ago I worked at a company where all of the women got together and did a Christmas cookie exchange. The way it works is that each person bakes a large quantity of one type of cookie and then they exchange with each other and end up with lots of different cookies. Well, the women didn't invite any of the men at the company and it made one guy mad. So he decided to start a men's-only beer exchange.
24 men get together and each brings a case of beer. You come with 24 bottles of the same beer and you leave with 24 bottles of different beer.
There are only two rules: 1) no run-of-the-mill beers are allowed (no Budweiser, Stroh's, etc.) and 2) you cannot bring a beer that was ever brought before.
So, eight years and 192 different beers later we're still going strong. The total bill for 24 cases this year will run about $1,200 (yes, that's about $50 a case). Of course each year it gets more and more challenging to find new beers, but that's what makes it fun.
We're having the Beer Exchange this Friday. Some of the people there I only see once a year so it's great fun to catch-up with them and to share some of the world's most awesome beers.
