    @core42, they've had a little QC issues but for the most part, they have some solid brews.

    Cool because I have a small batch #8 & #9 in my basement that I picked up last year already

    Nice! 8 was the blackberry one right? If I'm not mistaken...

    Will post CIF sign-ups for the next trip here later tonight or tomorrow sometime. I know there are some Pizza Boy sours that are coming out soon, hopefully it's before I close the sign-ups and send the box out.

    *Edit - I believe Permasmile and Yellow Breaches Kriek are the next on the release list.

    Opened up my last IPA from Trillium from @SRBush1974 tonight. I'm enjoying this one as much as the others. Really sad they are all gone.

    Jesus for $9/4pk I'd buy a case of that. It's $14 around me. (and I'll still buy some)

    Tempting, but I didn't pull the trigger. Salesman said it's been sitting around and he's 30 more cases so I think I have until next payday (wed) to go back.

    Would anyone be interested in sponsoring a "newbie" for this next round of the BIF? I'd greatly appreciate it! :slight_smile:

    How is the CIF gonna work do we keep signing up every time it finds a new home or are we going off a master list somewhere? Cause I'd like to be on this list

    Just as an aside, while I'd be happy to hear of anyone being interested in helping with this, I'd be looking for someone who more than just qualifies on their own, but is a bit more of a veteran for this. There can be quite a bit that goes into sponsoring someone, so I'd want to make sure that person is up to the task.

    New sign-ups each time it lands. This type of BIF typically has a master list at the outset, but The Locals came up with doing new sign-ups each time, which I think (and I think it was the consensus) improves upon the concept.

    Sign up every time is the way I initially set it up. Gives people a chance to jump on or off depending on circumstances.
