    I just went through and put one together. Two people guessed numbers that were already taken, but even if they had re-guessed, they still wouldn't be in the running as the projected winning range is well covered.

    hmmm my memory was that there were more people above my guess and less consistent coverage 5-15, that's a bitch for me unless someone comes through with like three 4-packs

    Sorry. Maybe you'll win my mini mini BIF, "How many BCBBW's do I send to the eventual winner of the mini BIF." The prize is fake internet points, you have to be the closest without going over, and I'm guessing 0 (since I'm sending locals). Oooh, I won!

    Hey bleebs, you can't win your own mini-bif. I guess 0. I want those fake internet points. Then since I win, I want to pass that to Lehighace06 so he doesn't feel bad. It's all about making sure everyone is happy.

    I mean, there is a chance one could fall in the box by accident...

    Big apologies to kramerbarthomer, as I have had these beers for a while and didn't post the ****. First I threw my back carrying the box in. Seeing I could only lie on the couch for several days, and the only thing I could reach were barley wines, I couldn't figure out how to post pictures from my ipad. Now that I have sobered up....

    First,

    1. Alaskan barley wine, I was surprised not to see this on my wants, I love Alaska brewing, and have had two trades for this fall through, it's likely that Kramerbarthomer, was responsible for the inability of me to receive this beer, just for the chance to one day have me as target in a barleywine BIF.
    2. WANT! Oh yeah it's the dry dock bligh's barley wine, freaking awesome!!!
    3.BULL&BUSH barleywine, release the hounds, why isn't this brewery on my radar? This beer was soley responsible for at least a day of me not posting ****!
    4.ranger creek small batch number 8, yep it's a barley wine, how is nothing from ranger on my wants, I had small batch no 4, that was sent from another BIF and was floored! I need to add all these to my wants!

    I would have been pretty happy if that was the box, but there is more!
    [​IMG]
    6. Bull&bush..CBC an old ale, that sounds awesome. I am sure it will age well, but I a going to drink it now.
    7.perennial black walnut dunkel...I like beers that just sound weird! This was a WANT. Awesome!
    8. Epic brainless on cherries, oh yeah baby, cherries and oak, of course it was a WANT,

    Really you sent more, damn!
    [​IMG]

    Odell brewing, I will be visiting you at the end of the month.
    9. St. Lupulin, drank this as soon as it was cold, awesome IPA
    10. Perle white, white IPA as the new craze I am sure this will set my benchmark
    11.90 shilling....oh how I love scotch ales.
    12. Lugene chocolate stout, my wife already hid this bottle, she likes chocolate. I hope I get to try some
    13.odell IPA, yep drank this one too, Odell never seems to disappoint, awesome beer

    14 Prarie Birra, I love Prarie and everything they make, now all I need is a Dino glass!

    Kramerbarthomer, I can't thank you enough but this is a awesome box, if you ever want any northeast goodness, hit me up, but my porch seeks revenge.

    Hope you enjoy it! Bull & Bush really flies under the radar but they make very good stuff... I swore I put a can of Santa Fe Java Stout into that box too.. but I must've forgot... I'll shoot that to you as an extra if we get any trades together in the future... and @dgthrasher if you ever run into any Focal Banger up in the northeast just let me know what I need to send you to get some more... that is hands down my favorite IPA. Cheers man!

    My box departed North Platte, NE 18 minutes ago. On Wednesday my target will be able to kill a brew for Harmon Killebrew.
