These photos were taken Saturday afternoon at the Craft Beer Reclamation Center in Torrance, where we held the Super Bowl LVIII Can Exchange; a fun afternoon of swapping beers and sharing a few special brews since we were there anyway.

I held the first can exchange in September of 2020 at the suggestion of a couple friends. The reason was that we were in a COVID lockdown and I wanted to do something that was COVID safe and still give people the opportunity to socialize. We had 14 attendees forming 13 teams (couples sometimes decide to bring two 4-paks instead of four, so they draw as a team). Saturday was our 19th event, and while many of the regulars were unable to make it for various reasons, we still had 19 attendees forming 18 teams. In other words, these have become pretty popular.

In a nutshell, you bring two full 4-paks and walk away with two mixed 4-paks. Like I said, I rarely advertise these here, so if this sounds like something you might be into, check out the Craft Beer Guy Facebook page. We would be happy to have you join us. We have actually had one guy from Iowa and I seem to recall a guy from Arizona once. Cheers!
