    So many of us said they were up to do it again.
    May I be so bold as to suggest we get this rolling for July 4th weekend?

    Let me know if I can be of service, at the very least I've got a ton of addresses already in one spot.

    Haha-instead of freezing temps, now we'll have to worry our IPAs will suffer in the heat. :wink:

    Kidding aside, I would maybe suggest the initial tastings not be on a holiday weekend to get maximum involvement, maybe? People may be traveling home the 5th? Maybe the 12th?

    Did I say maybe enough times?

    Back half of June isn't a bad idea either; July 4th is a long ways off.

    What about Flag Day
    (That's June 14) as a target?

    You guys enjoy this one, and I'll be reading along, but I'll have to pass at this point. If it happens again come Fall, I'd love to do it again.

    I'm probably in, although the July weather does have me worried a bit.

    Don't be too worried. Just make sure your target knows what day their box is landing so they can get it inside in a reasonable amount of time. It's also not a horrible idea to have boxes re-routed to the FedEx location where it'll be in an air conditioned building all day.

    Count me in depending on what the dates are. I'll be out of the country for the month of July.

    I've got too much going on in June and July and already have a few shipping commits (golden rule - don't over commit!!) So please don't take offense if I have to beg off this one, but similar to @TongoRad , I would LOVE to be included in a fall one!

    I'm moving in May/June, so I may not be available for this round. Which sucks, but it is what it is. For now, count me out. :slight_frown:

    I could be in. June would be better for me. I have a bit of travel happening in July.

    I will be available for round two for sure, and depending on when it is may be coming back from our annual Vermont Madness camping trip with a major load of goodness to share.

    I could probably swing a BIF in the future. Mid June works for me, or later. I'm open for a Fall one too.

    I guess what I'm saying is that I'm pretty flexible. But I'm in.
