As we go back under lock key until the morons of the country vaccinate, now might be a good time to return to Zoom but with a blind tasting instead a boring meeting.
This method require driving and some coordination but it also removes the need for an impartial steward. Each member of your blind tasting needs to buy the listed target number of beers needed. Each person in the tasting then covers up the label as best they can and numbers them, keeping a chart handy. Make sure you are working from one package size. A 12oz can or bottle will stick out like a sore thumb.
Then each person drives the masked beer to a designated recipient. This keeps the mystery going. Then set-up your zoom and taste. Since the beers might be in different orders, it adds a layer of detecting if your friend’s #2 beer was your #1.
Then see who can guess beers right or just rank them.
