Speaking of own experience, there is so much in this statement that's enough to write a thesis.
Starting with, really keen on getting to this swap, the beers just keep getting better and better every time. Good blokes to have a yarn with, chew the fat and gamey slow cooked meat, renew conversationms that didn't get finished last time, and some private swaps that yielded really top notch beery surprises. I'm looking at you, Ben Kendall's big arsed quad. Putting a couple beers together now for such privateering.
