Let's make this easy @jfstilling just relax your sphincter muscles. It will be over before you know it.

Would like to continue this growing tradition after the more than generous box I received from @Corriecrafts it's my turn to run an NTP Box. The rules:

The Locals “New Ticks” Parallel (NTP) Box

Every area of the country has a brewery that gets a ton of well-deserved hype, but doesn’t distribute out of state – or distribute at all, in some cases. There are also breweries that are putting out delicious brews that get little to no hype, but locals swear by their beer. This box will include beers from both types of breweries, hence “Parallel” – two horizontals, if you will.

Now, here’s the real twist – Among other criteria (listed below), the only way you are eligible to receive this box is if you’ve had 3 or fewer beers from the “Main Brewery” listed by the sender. If you’ve had more than 3, but they were all sample pours of an ounce or two, it is at the discretion of the sender if you qualify. This is the “New Ticks” portion of the box, the idea being to spread the love and get great beer into the hands of people who haven’t been lucky enough to try anything from a great brewery.

Origin - Maine
Main Brewery: Barreled Souls Brewing

What’s in the Box?!??!
The NTP box is intentionally reasonably sized (6-10 beers max), and will include 4 parts:

1. Several offerings from the “Main Brewery”.

2. A couple offerings from an unannounced “Unheralded Local Brewery”.

3. Swag from at least one, if not both breweries.

4. A “Take a beer, Leave a beer” Box.

The “Take a beer, Leave a beer” box:
This box will include 3 cellarable beers, and is like that penny tray at your local gas station. As the NTP box arrives with each new recipient, they will have the option to take 1 (and only 1) beer to drink or cellar for future consumption – absolutely no trading or forwarding, however much you might want to. If the recipient takes a beer from this box, they must replace it with something worthy of the traveling box. These beers don't need to be local, just awesome.

Rules / How it Works:

This traveling box is open to all Locals, as well as certified lurkers who have successfully participated in other major BIF rounds here on Beer Advocate. Recipient must not have received the NTP box previously.

Sender announces their “Main Brewery” and sign ups remain open for a specified length of time. This brewery must not distribute out of state, and must be worthy of being the focus of the traveling box.

Interested participants who meet the criteria (Be honest. No deleting UnTappd check-ins!) must message the sender, and once sign-ups have ended the sender selects a target at random.

Sender will keep the “winning” participant secret, and ship within a reasonable amount of time. BIF-style hints encouraged.

Once the box lands, the Recipient now becomes the next sender. They should add a local sticker/label/etc… to the inside of the box and reopen sign-ups for the next round when ready (3-4 weeks max).

If at any time there are no interested sign-ups, or the exterior box is on its last legs, the current sender will ship back to the originator of the box (@RuckIt).

Sign up!
BM me with "NTP Box" in the title. Include your shipping address, shirt size, swag preference, and what (if anything) you've had from the "Main Brewery". If there are any "do-not-ship" dates, include that info too! I will close this down next Sunday (2/26/17)

Cheers Locals #L4L

What did you end up claiming from the Swap Box?

MCMASTERSANCHEZ · Feb 20, 2017

Because my first international competition and my first competition at purple belt wasn't enough I decided to bump up a weight class. This seemed like an appropriate Pre-Germany beer and grilling steaks to put on weight
