    I am contributing a box to this as well. I am considering throwing a 6 year BCBS vertical as part of my box.

    No sir, that isn't necessary. But thx for the offer. The box I sent was earned and well deserved!

    Oohh boy, what did you do? ! ? Your cellar pic was the root to a very nice dream I had a couple nights ago! Seriously though, you shouldn't have!

    Alright POLL! I have come to the conclusion that I have way more beer set aside for this BIF than I could possibly reasonably ship. So I am narrowing the box down and having some trouble. I am trying to decide whether my target would rather a more concentrated box of highly ranked stouts or a box of small distribution, regional stouts that he/she would otherwise never get a chance to try.
    Sooo, if I am still possibly your sender:

    LIKE THIS if you would rather the larger box of small distribution (think brewery only release, some not even ranked on BA).

    DO NOT LIKE THIS if you would rather the concentrated box of highly rated stouts from the cellar.

    No such thing as too much beer to ship!

    Not tracking, but personal preference here would be whichever box will include a 2015 Huna :stuck_out_tongue::grinning:

    To my target: In previous BIFs I have made a point to send a separate box that consists entirely of swag, including a bunch of snacks/treats from my area (keep in mind I work in Hershey :wink:). If you have an interest in a box such as this, please like this post.

    I guess not everyone likes a box of random snacks (due to diets and such), so I would like to know if I should save myself the trouble.

    I think you underestimate what you could possibly reasonably ship... @whyteboy003 sent something like a hundred pounds of beer in the last BIF we did together, it was going on a thousand ounces if I remember correctly.... :wink:

    Guess where this landed! I just brewed a pina colada blonde and thought I was the first to think about it! These are getting opened tomorrow afternoon at beer geek poker!

    Thanks man!

    Not really tracking my sender, but any box of stouts from Florida makes this guy happy!!!

    My god, I don't think I am even going to get any Huna this year and I am a El Catador Member... I hope they reverse their decision and brew a ton of this beer (drive down its trade value and give more people an opportunity to try this great brew!). There will definitely be some Huna love in this box though :wink:

    Holy crap... I don't even understand the logistics of that. I pack extremely securely (never had a broken bottle) and packing/shipping that much beer would be several hundred dollars...

    I was the lucky recipient of said box(es). It was way awesome!
