    I was never a fan of putting all of my eggs in one basket (Easter pun, check) besides, I couldn't find a big enough basket anyway.:grinning: I feel like I left so many beers out that I wanted to include, but seeing that you were a bourbon guy, I leaned pretty heavy on the barrel aged stuff. The Founders theme seemed appropriate since I was there during this whole process. That syrup is awesome. You seem to be as big of a maple junkie as me. If you are thinking about drinking it, I have. I like it on omletes, use a splash in a good stout, and is a great glaze on pork. Spekaing of maple and bourbon, if you haven't tried the Knob Creek Smoked Maple yet... Oh. My. God.

    For some reason none of those Old Curmudgeons from my cellar have any dates on them. They are '13s if you are curious. Glad to hear you loved the Ju Ju. Especially since mine are gone:angry::stuck_out_tongue: Cheers!

    Dear target. You have been warned. Picked out some great double wall boxes at work last week and today. Might probably consider not buying beer for a bit.

    Ahhh, man, so sorry to say it isn't you. This was me also in a couple of BIF's, one of them my sender never posted hints.

    Perhaps there is a mystery sender out there?

    Almost, possibly, maybe, certainly, could be. Or not.

    Sadly, I'm pretty certain I know who he's shipping to, and it's not y'all.

    Uh-oh. There's a beer in my fridge that shouldn't be. Lets just say I'll be anxiously watching for what @newjack posts here toward the end of the week. It is perhaps working out even better than I initially thought about having to send another box. The downside is it was one of the most awesome beers (at least in my opinion) I had for him, and am genuinely excited about what he, or anyone else (@beertunes) thinks of it. Maybe I'm wrong, and I lost track of how many I bought (which would mean another one for me, after all).

    I do love the idea of a random BIFer, just launching boxes like one of Willy Wonka's Golden Tickets.

    I'm going to encourage this for next time. Haven't decided if I'll try to recruit a "Mystery BIFer" to send out a single nice box to someone, or maybe to encourage the participants to send a second box , small 1-2 cans or bottles, to someone other than their target. But, something will be instigated.

    @Ri0 if it helps you figure out your sender, my target's avatar has a similar color scheme.

    Just read through six pages of NBS. Good times. I have mixed emotions about the lack of posts here. Less reading, but also less entertainment.

    Maybe you could make a guess at somebody else's sender...That seems to get the laughs going.:grinning:

    So I get to work and find this waiting.

    Also on my desk was a worker's comp claim from the woman who had to drag 29lbs of goodness into my office.:grimacing:
    Contents with pictures to be revealed later, but @cjgiant has claimed responsibility for this.
    He will hear from our insurance agent and lawyers later.:wink:
