    I think I should explain a little bit about these monthly LIFs because I've received a few messages asking about them. Most importantly to anyone checking this out: there is zero chance you will need to send beer to anyone. I am the only person that ends up shipping beer out regardless of any outcome. To participate you must put your answers for all of the questions in this thread and the person with the most correct answers wins a box from me. Have questions? Message me or post them here in the thread.
