Pardon the ignorance of a first timer, but given there are 5 empty spots in the swap list, does that mean I need to provide 18 beers total?
I'd still stick to the 24. Last time we had extras and just shared them around so you still take home 24.
2 of a kind or whatever. Or just take home what doesn't get taken.
I'd say different - I basically only got 24 bottles out of mine, so I'm keen to keep a few spares if that's doable.
Having said that, I'd agree that you should probably bring a spare or 2, as it's always polite to donate a bottle to some of those deserving, such as the head brewer (plus maybe an assistant or 2), the main food coordinator/contributors, the venue host, etc. Or just have 1 or 2 spares to swap between others who you want to try your beer.
So fwiw, I'll probably bring 20 (assuming 18 swappers) or so of these swap beers plus another few select beers.
