I'd be up for a swap, depending on the style

I enjoyed and learnt a lot from these in the past but purposely sat out last year as I wanted to focus on repeating a few styles to really dial in my processes and recipes.
I'd be up for doing 1 or 2 this year though if there was sufficient interest.

I'm up for it!
Ok then!
What styles tickle everyone’s fancy. I wanted to do an American Amber, but would be happy with a Brown too. A super hoppy Cold IPA was also on my to brew list.
Post a coupe of styles your interested in and I’ll do a google poll with the candidates.

AA or AB potential for me as well.
Others on my planner that haven’t quite tipped over into action yet are chocolate porter and Wadworth Swordfish (bitter with rum addition. Is that even a category? Beer with spirit adjunct?).

Brown ale would be nice, I don't get many of those. Might be interested in a porter as my friend is wanting be to brew a historical London porter. Less keen on new faddy versions of IPA , but a traditional English IPA might be nice
My other choice would either be a Sour or a Fruit Beer, combine the 2 for a Fruited Sour 
Brown Ale/Mild and a light/Large style brew would be my suggestions. Maybe a pilsner style??
Ok, we’ve got interest!
I’ll do a google poll, pick three from the styles mentioned above plus any @pilgrimhudd wants to suggest.

Just leaving work, I'll have a think on the cycle home. Quite like the Pilsner idea tbh.
Just having a look at the BJCP guidelines, we've done quite a lot of the ones I fancy, I would go with a Pilsner (of some sort) or a Belgian Storng Dark Ale.
I'd be interested in doing either an American Amber or a NZ Pilsner. Just done a Helles so already well stocked for a more traditional pale lager.

Follow the link if you want to get involved, I'll post responses in a couple of days.

We had one vote for sour and one for a fruit beer.
Based on that I'd suggest swapping an NZ Pils late May/early June and an American Amber end of September.
In the absence of any objections, I’ve just ordered the hops for an NZ pils brew!
Looking forward to the pils - any tips from experience welcome.
I made one in 2023 which was part of the summer brew and swap, and as I can’t remember much about it, perhaps it was underwhelming.
As I’ve done this before I’ll give it a miss.
Definitely up for the American Amber, as that’s a new one.
So no I can’t help

I've brewed a lot of kiwi pils with different hops and in my experience bitter with magnum or something similiar. I find kiwi hops very harsh when used for bittering despite some being dual purpose.
This is my experience too - might be better with a low alpha variety though, which I haven't tried yet.
