Auctioning off the Floodland Brewing beers listed below and a Floodland branded glass (as a package) with free delivery in the Seattle area to raise funds for the racial justice organizations listed below. Preference for Seattle area buyer, but will ship to a winning bidder if they provide label and assume shipping risk.
For those that don’t know, Floodland Brewing makes world-class mixed fermentation ales in Seattle, WA. Adam Paysse and his team make small amounts of beer, and the beer is highly allocated and sought after with a thousands long waiting list. For those who know about the brewery’s “no sale” policy, Adam is aware of what I’m doing and he supports charity sales/auctions.
Minimum bid of $450 for all the beers below & glass. Current high bid is $600. Please send bids to scott.tallman@gmail.com. Will update this post with highest bid at the end of each day between now and Monday.
Will leave auction open until 12 pm PST on Monday, June 8th. Please share with others who may be interested.
The highest/winning bidder must provide either (1) evidence of a donation for the winning amount dated on/after June 8 to one of the organizations listed below (or split amongst those organizations) or (2) payment to me of the winning amount, which I will in turn donate to the organizations below and provide you evidence of such donation.
All beers purchased directly from Floodland as part of Oakworks Bottle Club.
