    I'm running far, far away from that round.

    Thanks for stepping up for a 2nd term, even with your busy schedule! I'm fine with that window.

    "Show me your cans"....Make a minimum of the box (64 oz, 1/2 the box, etc.) or all of the box canned beers.

    West coast breweries have been slow in adopting cans, not sure why. We have canned options, but nowhere where East Coast or Midwest is. Can be done, but will limit the quality of stuff coming from CA/NV in Round 4. I love the idea itself if we weren't such laggards on this end. Will go with majority of course.

    @Josholson666

    I saw your request in the ISO:FT forums...and figured I'd throw it out to this group on whether or not anyone can help. One of the great things about the BIF community is being able to work with one another on trades without bent over in the Viper Pit.

    I'd love to help you out but we don't get Clown Shoes down here.

    I was actually JUST about to copy it into this forum, as well as NBS BIF 3. Thanks for lookin out!

    Here's the trade offer I'm looking to do, copy/pasted from the trading forum. If anyone is able to help out, I'd greatly appreciate it! Cheers!



    I'm trying to acquire a bunch of clown shoes bottles both to drink and to keep for the amazing artwork. I am hoping to find someone who has a fair amount of these, and would like to go $4$ with MN/WI distro or locals (Surly, Toppling Goliath, New Glarus, Prairie, etc.). I can also provide a cellar list if that's more your flavor, but I'm not planning on unloading any big bottles for a few of this. Please message me if you're interested, I'm sure we can work something out.

    Here's the list (In no particular order):
    The Ballad of Minnie Quay (MI only)
    Pierre Ferrand Billionaire
    Garden State Rhapsody (NJ only)
    Crasher in the Rye (2015)
    Blimp
    Extremely Angry Beast
    Gargoyle Love Song (all years)
    Hammer of the Holy (both 2015 bottles)
    Billionaire
    Ride the Lion
    Royal Standard
    Angry Beast
    Very Angry Beast
    Porcine Unidragon
    Breakfast Exorcism (MA only?)
    Exorcism at Sunset (MA only)
    The Good, the Bad, and the Unidragion (TX only)
    Flight of the Angry Beast
    Fistful of Unidragon
    Peace that Money Can't Buy
    White Tail Unidragon (Ohio)
    Bluegrass Billionaire

    Alright, I know this is a piss-ton of bottles, so this will certainly involve multiple trades. Please let me know if you have a few bottles and want a bit of a cellar list from me. I actually am trying to downsize a bit so I could throw a bunch of cellared 12oz stuff into the mix, as well as some good bottles. Thanks!

    Sorry but would have to sit out that time frame if you moved everything out by a couple of weeks with an end of July shipping target date I could live with that

    In for round 4. I like swag. Here's an idea I thought of 10 styles of July. Each day is a predetermined beer style, and everybody drinks the same style each day.

    The June / July timeline might be a little tough on my end, tryin to plan a vacation in that time frame. Either way I'm in, box might have Togo early or late if it'd be ok with my sender/recipient

    I'm in for Round 4. I don't have a great idea for a new theme, the last rounds have been fun really.
