So Kevin strikes twice in 1 day, set up a smallish trade an came home to this One hell of a guy that @Elkevjoe is, I hope his porch is made of concrete
Glad you guys like your boxes @beluga92 & @Homebrew! Here's my Friday night PrOn from @Homebrew. All wants and should be wants. Thanks Dave!
Aha! Well thanks @Jwilford23 for that first box, now that you are taking some credit here The hop box was tasty. Anything beyond that is just bonus beers as far as I am concerned. Cheers!
amen to that! seems i'll have to milk my await into the final week of the shipping window... watchin all the BIF boxes post, side-BIFs, CIF-twice, new beers/breweries i've never heard of, etc.... ...it's like the surprise/excitement/anticipation of finally patiently getting near the front of the line (at a big release). haha. havin a small bottleshare to clear some space; hope everyone else has a great wknd, too...
Couldn't give myself up so soon. Had to try to keep you guessing a little bit. Wanted to get those out while they were fresh, and didn't have everything else to send.
Time for the next round of the CIF (Cushion It Forward)! Invite list: Obviously anyone in the Newbie BIF is encouraged to participate. I'll open this up to lurkers as well. The only requirement is at least 5 trades and 100% feedback. In the spirit of the Newbie BIF anyone with less than 5 trades or with less than 100% feedback is welcome to join with a veteran sponsor. Veteran lurkers are also welcome. I will ask that you only sign up if you are committed to keeping the #CIF going. The beer: In an effort to keep the #CIF moving along I'm going to limit the beer to a 6-8 bottle shipper with a range of 100 oz. to 152 oz. of 85+ Rated beer, or 4.1+ rAvg if there are too few scores for a rating. Beer must be from outside your target's distribution. How it works: If you want a chance at these red chair cushions all you have to do is send me a BM titled "#CIF I'm in!". Include your name, full shipping address (work or home?), phone number, email address, and your Untappd name (optional). Let me know about any shipping date restrictions and style preferences. I'd like to get this box to the new recipient by the end of the week, so I'm going to close signups on Tuesday night 4/12. I will choose a BA at random (randomizer) and ship within that following week. Rather than announce the recipient I will ninja the box out. The lucky BA who is surprised by Chad's cushions will add their BA handle and location to the cushions with a permanent marker. At this point the sign ups will start over and anyone who hasn't received the #CIF box is eligible. If we get to a point where no one signs up then @pnelting becomes the target by default. Good luck!
Great time yesterday, nice meeting you @Steban, big thanks for all the beers your group shared with us!
Very well put, seems like we all share the same sentiment. I was gone for spring break last few days, catching up just now, man, lots of amazing pr0n, great brews flying left and right, amazing generosity here.
Love seeing the pron. been a little absent lately getting ready for the baby. My box is en route and should get there this week. Been an awesome round so far.
Same here nice meeting you @Devman171, @valrxman, @whyteboy003 and everyone else at the release. Thanks for all the beers you guys shared with us. Had a great time as well.
This is your 24 h warning for the CIF. You should have received a reply from me if I got your message, otherwise please follow up.
so this is about as newb couple of questions as I've ever posted... feel free to make fun, but I have no alternatives... the Eclipse futures are going on sale next week, I would really like to try a couple (western pa, idiot distributors, antiquated laws, yeah yeah..) Firstly, Do they ship the orders, or does the order need picked up there? If they ship, then I will as blunt as possible... you guys enjoy wrecking and destroying porches, would someone be willing to rent me their porch to receive a shipment? (someone not in pa.. because, well.. yeah you get the idea)
They do ship, but only within the state of California. They also allow orders to be picked up at the brewery which is the way I typically go.
Hint: I will be shipping box on Monday. Going to a bottle release and will be picking up some new brews and swag to include in my box!
Wow just realized I haven't posted any hints lately so.... Hint #?? Eureka Hint #??+1 30lb box shipped today should receive friday. Hope you enjoy. Bonus hint: my target has received a box since round 3 has started from this group.
Alert! @BartS can not be trusted to leave your poor porch alone. I sent him a small - by my standards, anyway - box with some out-of-distro stuff that I could get easily or already had on hand. I told him he owed me nothing and to just drink up and take it as punishment for jumping into the BIF community. Then I come home from work on a beautiful Tuesday in Cincinnati ready to relax and have a beer. What do I see when I pull up the street but a scud missile on the front stoop. Not cool, Bart. Not cool. Just kidding, bud. Thanks a bunch. Can't wait to dig into the fresh hops. KBS is a permawant, but I've grown tired of chasing it down so these are especially welcome.
