UPDATE:
Let's all have the beer at the clubhouse fro the party this Saturday,
and we'll do the divvying up during the party!!!
If you can't make the party just put your case under the airhockey table upstairs with a
DO NOT DRINK FOR ADVENT CALENDAR sign on it and your name
Here's the concept...
Twenty-four of us buy a case a beer that costs between $30-$50, we take all the cases and divide the beers up so each person gets a bottle of each. We randomize it and put a number on each one, and we all drink a beer a day for 24 days from December 1 - 24.
So we don't all buy the same beer, here's a link to a Google Form to sign up and put the name of the case of beer you're going to supply ( or put it's a surprise and we'll hope for the best )

If we don't get 24 people to sign up....with 12 people we can do 2 of each beer
Here's a link to see the responses of who and which beers - https://goo.gl/FJahQu
We can't see what others are buying, so how will we know if we're buying the same beer as someone else?

Added the link so you can see responses above
Thank you!! I'm going to browse at Binny's to decide.
What about homebrew?
I would rather it not be homebrew

Yeah, you're kinda right now that I think about it.
Yeah, that could ruin Christmas pretty quickly....
what about four of the same 6-packs between $7.50 and $12.50 each?

I’m in! Will sign up TBD and see what I can find. Neat idea!
I think four six packs or six four packs will be what most of us have to do for a case. There isn't much decent beer sold as a 24 pack...
Oh man, and here I'm sitting with my 30 rack of Natty 'cause I wanted 6 extra beers!
Natty Ice or Natty Boh Christmas lager?
Who's got the Zima?

Bill, we all know the answer to that question.
bumping this...we need a couple more!
I'm in, just gotta figure out what I'm gonna get!
I'm in. Hitting Benny's tomorrow
Got mine. Are you guys ok if we open it (slightly) to outsiders? I may have a couple guys at work that would be interested. I can get in touch with them separately and see if I can get some takers. Would be awesome if we could get to 24...
Absolutely! We definitely need to open this up to friends.
What's the status with this? Are we bringing this on Saturday and dividing up then?
I’m not able to make it but picked up my case yesterday. I’ll keave it under the air hockey table.
You guys have an air hockey table now!? GAWD!

You'd be surprised at the money we save when we don't have to pay H1B registration fees anymore....;)
If we come in under our immigrant quota, we get a yearly bonus. This year, air hockey table. If we stay under our quota for next year, we get tiki torches.
I'm getting my beer this afternoon, so I actually might copy Chuck's idea and maybe get two 12 packs instead for some variety. I couldn't get the Kinslahger due to availability, so I'll be stopping at Buckledown today and get some of theirs as well as maybe their new IPA.
That's a great idea. I'll try to do a 12 of Old Jubulation and a 12 of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale.
Got mine, Deschutes Jubelale

While we do have a meeting tonight, this is the friendly reminder that the 12 unique beers starts today.
I was actually going to bring this up at the meeting! I can't remember: Are we starting with the Bell's Xmas or the Pilsner?
I have it written on my box, which is at home. So I don't know. I actually tried to delete my comment because it might start tomorrow since 13th-24th is actually 12 days.
There may have been some mild intoxication when we were figuring all this out.
