    The 12 days of Summer BIF has ended, but it's inspired me to drink for the now vs holding onto stuff. Well, that combined with the fact that I'm moving in a couple weeks and don't want to lug a bunch of bottles.

    Thanks Nick! (@PA-Michigander)

    Random observation:

    I closed last night and the BMC case store I share a parking lot had six cases of NYFRB and three cases of a Coney Island Hard Root Beer (never heard of it). Now 90+% of their business is BMC or worse, see Lions Head, Genesee, etc. today when I went into work all six of the NYFRB was gone. That blows my mind.

    If it's the one from Sun Up, then you will be impressed. I was skeptical after ordering a sampler and the beers were ok, but I should have known to trust Kyle blindly. The White Russian was very impressive...so much so that a howler somehow found it's way into my luggage on the flight home

    Damn, I'm on a roll. I'm up to owing 3 LIF's now....Gonna have to think of a couple to get started this weekend
    Thanks and Cheers

    I just received the box from winning @vitaminvert LIF and it's fabulous. I had my fingers crossed that this box might have one bottle of Casey in it. My wish was granted and then some. Thank you so much Andrew. This box is awesome.

    This is the new normal. It's only a matter of time before Hard Orange Soda, Hard Cream Soda, etc. What really worries me is the possibility that they package it in 2L bottles....

    This dude gives away Casey like Nick gives away nillas/Rob gives away loons/Matt gives away all the beer in Florida (etc).... God I love this group.

    Good luck.... a gallon of that stuff is worse beetus than doming a Bruery stout!

    Can one of you explain to me the difference between The Cut and Fruit Stand? @vitaminvert

    I can chime in :slight_smile:

    The Cut uses Oak Theory as a base and has used a minimum of 2.5 lbs per gallon of fruit in each batch.

    Fruit Stand uses Saison as a base and has used about 1 lb per gallon of fruit (the most recent batch of Montmorency Cherry was closer to 1.5)....

    ....Also, the Cut series blows the Fruit Stand series out of the water IMO. Closest thing I've seen to a Belgian fruited sour being produced in the US
