    Typically things involving drinking beer in a nontraditional way; be it a beer mile, or shotgunning a 32oz crowler, or edward 40 hands. Nothing ridiculous, but not something you'd want the principle of the school at which you teach to find, if you were a teacher (for example).

    This more depends on the job than the challenge. If you're a janitor your employer won't give a fuck how you drink a beer, as long as you don't show up to work on crack you're ok. Meanwhile, if you were a judge, just being on camera drinking a beer at all might be unbecoming to the court.

    I love that you're thinking, but for the most part I'm with @RuckIt that the challenge is completely up to the challenger.

    I would encourage everyone to make challenges not so hard or unweildy that the recipient is likely to pass on it, the point is that everyone gets to do a challenge and give a challenge, not for you to stump someone.

    Time for some hump day pron!

    @Greeny87 and I set up a trade on the side and his box hit my porch today

    Toegs Mad Elf - correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the 2013 edition from @Greeny87's cellar. I've had this beer before and enjoyed it so it'll be super cool to see what a couple years has done to it!
    Almanac Dogpatch Sour - I tried a couple Almanac sours when I was in SF a year and a half ago and loved them. Have not tried the cherry, so pumped for this!
    Forest & Maine Hapi - new brewery for me!
    Tired Hands Shambolic - Another new brewery! This is a dry hopped spelt saison, sounds pretty funky. With dipping my toes into the Locals group and all the PA guys, I'm sure this will not be my last Tired Hands brew.

    Look forward to some more pr0n coming when my box hits some time next week from @Greeny87!

    I have to say that Illinois laws suck when it comes to growlers. Illinois doesn't allow anywhere other than a brewery to fill growlers, and I don't have a brewery worth sending nearby. This one would be a hard one for me to join, but I'll be watching to see what happens.

    All right, time to close this down. Thanks for all the guesses, none we exact, but a couple of very close ones on both sides. I'll aim to ship tomorrow.

    That's correct, I've heard it ages well so I've been sitting on a case for a while. Let me now how you like them!

    Some guys sound like they Are in the same boat and are going to ship the SS growler in the box along with a local glass growler. They will still sign the growler and such. Just a idea.

    I'm in for the #CIF and the #GIF. When we have a #SCIF (stale cereal it forward), I'm out.

    [​IMG] Nice to revisit this hop beauty last night with my #craftwife, courtesy of the @sembo LIF. Tasty stuff there...

    I need to learn how to guess like Kevin. That's two LIFs now for him.
