    cheers, y'all -- from vacation-land

    The #CIF cushions have landed! @beatjunkee blew up my porch this morning- and on my birthday too! It's like he knew or something!
    [​IMG]

    Left to Right:

    Old Dominion Brewing- Morning Glory Espresso Stout
    Port City Brewing- Robust Porter
    Heavy Seas- Blackbeard's Breakfast
    Deschutes Brewery- The Abyss 2015
    Olde Hickory Brewing- The Event Horizon
    Great Divide Brewing- Oak Aged Yeti
    Stillwater Artisanal- Gose Gone Wild
    Monocacy Brewing- Brewtus
    DC Brau Brewing- On the Wings of Armageddon
    Tree House Brewing- That's What She Said

    Can't say enough about the @beatjunkee porch bomb and the #CIF as a whole... absolutely amazing. And to keep the ball rolling on this, I'm going to go ahead and open it up for #19....

    #CIF Rules...

    To keep the momentum going for the #CIF (Cushion It Forward), bridging the gap to the next round, here is this standard language:

    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'm going to close signups at 7PM EST on the 4th of July.

    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!

    Just entered. I can't believe this box has eluded me for so long.

    Where's the GIF growler at this point?

    1. What was the beer that my dad unexpectedly enjoyed?
    2. Guess what brewery we were planning on going to, but skipped after we started our trip.

    Please tag me when you respond. I will close this on Wednesday night at 11:59pm. Cheers!

    @beatjunkee pulled a ninja on me, very unexpected and very generous! This pr0n is quite late as I was gone on vacation, while someone picked the box up for me.

    NG rasp tart is a want, Imp Stout Trooper is a long time huge want.
    Seen the Aslin crowler action, glad to get in on it, this one is Mex Hot Choco which sounds fantastic
    Exile, Port City, 3 Stars, Groove City, Union Craft, DC Brau are all new breweries, I'm quite underexposed to the MD/VA/DC area breweries so this will be a fantastic sampler - many thanks for this totally out of the blue ninja box and apologies for the vacation-forced 2 week delay in posting!

    EDIT: forgot to add chocolates that were also included but not pictured. Thank you!
