I will add myself and @JNForsyth to this list as we have pretty good access to it as well via Al's of Hampden.
Okay the GIF box is scheduled to land tomorrow. The challenge part of it should land on Friday if FedEx holds up it's end. I may have gone a little over board on the challenge but from what I've seen I think it will be fun and pretty easy. And on a side note are there any good beer's releasing in Pittsburg PA area in the next few weeks as I need to make a visit to see my daughter in the near future.
I'd like to be in the next Newbie BIF as well. I'm not sure if I should be posting here or waiting until the post is made for "Newbie BIF 3". And since it doesn't look like there is anyone from CO I should be a shoo-in. I haven't done a BIF before but I am enrolled in the Stout BIF should it ever get going, I have my doubts.
@DanK I'm on mobile right now and can't see how many trades and stuff you've completed but our rules have been 5 trades or a sponsor so as long as you've got one of those you are good. Welcome to the group. We've got a few travelling boxes going on right now and people have been doing some Lottery It Forwards as well so hop on in and let's see some Colorado beer Pr0n! To everyone else: dibs on all the Casey and other delicious Colorado goodness this guy is to gonna send out.
@JoeyIce3 nice box dude. Looks like a good representation of DFW beer. No love for Martin house though? That single hop series tho. Here's hoping you have a more receptive target for round three.
I do have 5 trades. And I can get sponsors if needed, a couple BIF veterans live close to me and are sponsoring me in the stout BIF.
You should be fine for round 3 when it gets going. Feel free to post in here - a formal announcement should come out closer to the time round 3 starts and it will instruct you to send your info to the organizer to formally signup. I would imagine that we will use this thread for the hints and hauls for the round as well. As @Bristopher89 said, feel free to get in on the couple of traveling boxes that we have going here and/or start an LIF to keep things interesting up until the next round!
Thanks.. And I do love me some Martin House Salty Lady, pretzel stout, and then Kafkaesque now canned yes please... Just waiting for Live Oak Hefe cans to hit here as well. Up in Austin it's already hit correct?
