    The Hill Farmstead 3rd Anniversary party is fast approaching and the anticipation is starting to build. However, I haven't seen any IP BIFs for it yet. DLD has several, so I figured we need one too.

    Let me start by saying this is a blantant rip-off of Urbancaver's (awesome) BIF. I hope he doesn't mind. Check out his DLD single bottle BIF if you haven't.

    For those who haven't seen the Single Bottle BIF before, it works like this:

    You bring a bottle of great beer.
    - At least this year's BCBCS in terms of trade value (i.e. we're not whale hunting, but something at least a bit sought after and not year round shelf beer)

    You put your bottle in a paper bag or in some way conceal its contents.

    You find me at the Hill Farmstead 3rd Anniversary party (instructions will be sent to participants)

    You hand me your bottle, I hand you the bottle from the person who found me before you.

    You open your package and take home your new beer!

    (Optional, but recommended) You stay, hang out and join our bottleshare.

    If for some reason you can't find me, you just bring back home the bottle you brought. Nothing lost.

    I'm sure this is an unnecessary precaution, because most of the BAs I've met are awesome, but I will be vetting everyone who enters to ensure that nobody gets let down by the bottle they receive. You do not have to tell me exactly what you are bringing but at least give me your thoughts on what you're leaning toward.

    If you wish to participate, BM me with: your name, cell number, and the bottle(s) you're considering bringing for the BIF.

    Feel free to post or BM questions.

    Haha. There's no way "that" would trade for a BCBCS, so you're outta luck...

    We have 10 confirmed participants, zero of which are actually from New England. Looks like this really is going to be a nationwide (and Quebec) party. I'll be taking sign-ups until a day or two before the event. Let's try to hit at least 25 BAs...

    Nice, we are picking up steam here. I believe we're at 17 people right now.

    Hopefully 18 if Ossie BM's me.... Come one man, we've all seen your BIF boxes, you need to get in on this :wink:
