    Oskar Blues - Death by Coconut
    For those that have had Last Snow (looking at the 4 in this group I sent one too) this isn't really close. Still good, the coconut causes no fatality, more like a gentle massage with a happy ending.[​IMG]

    Hint #4...... While not from your state, a brewery that is now distributing in mine, is from a state next door. (Too. Ew for seekabrew so don't bother)

    Ok Guys,

    I am continuing the #GIF. Growler it Forward. Please BM your info (name, address, etc) with the subject 'GIF' if you'd like to be involved. I'll keep sign ups open until Sunday at midnight. The plan is to:

    Fill up the growler with a quality local breweries beer
    Ninja off to a random member in the GIF
    Once they get it, they drink the growler and post a #VBS, once empty sign the growler with the sharpie / pen included.
    Additionally, there will be a wrapped "challenge" bottle in the box. There will a typed up challenge that must be completed and proven prior to unwrapping and drinking the bottle.
    If you complete the challenge please replace a new challenge and bottle prior to shipping along the new box.
    If for some reason you cannot video or take a picture of yourself doing the challenge due to job reasons, well think up a more appropriate challenge.
    It would be great to try and turn this around quicker and lastly have fun.

    This is open to anyone who participated in the first round of the Newbie BIF or signed up for the second one.

    Good news for me and future BIF boxes...2 cans from Other Half will be available regularly starting Jan 2016. I believe this is their Other Half IPA and Forever Ever. Wonder if they will be brewing elsewhere to make this happen.

    Also Hint 7: Every beer in my box is exclusive to MA
    Edit: thats a lie one isn't but it's a major pain in the ass the find
    Hint 8: Probably in contention for weirdest piece of swag, the brewery had it custom made

    I'll be shipping next week for optimal dankness!
