    Looking for signups here for the 3rd Australian BIF.
    Those who weren't in the Aussie BIF I or II or those not familiar with a BIF, it stands for Beer It Forward.

    Person A sends a box to person B, Person B sends to Person X. X sends to A and so forth. You send a box to someone and receive a box from someone else. You don't know who is sending to you.

    Here are the threads from previous BIF's which were a lot of fun:

    http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/australian-bif.10911/

    http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/nbo-aussie-bif-ii.49322/
    http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/aussie-bif-hints-and-hauls.50362/

    Any suggested changes to the previous format are welcomed. We have run with this format in the past:

    Minimum of 2.25 litres of beer to send with 1 bottle being large format.
    Box must include:
    • 3 beers from local brewery
    • 2 from local bottle shop
    • 1 of senders choice
    • 1 piece of swag (i.e. shirt or glassware, with a preference being from a local brewery).
    Or if you wish to send a growler, can send 1 x 2L growler or 2 x 1L growlers.

    The idea is to be generous and to obviously send stuff that a person can't get locally.

    If you are interested, shoot me a Conversation with the following:
    1. Full Name
    2. Mobile
    3. Email
    4. Shipping Address
    5. Shirt Size
    Please also update your Wants list with Australian beers and others. This will make it easier for the person sending to you to send you a cool box.

    Will keep signups open until February 22. Shipping window open until March 6.
