    OK folks! Here we go again. READ THIS POST IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE SIGNING UP!

    This BIF has purpose of supporting the weekly New Beer Sunday thread, and is open to people who post on NBS. If you would like to join this BIF, but don't have a history of posting on NBS, we are going to ask that you have someone vouch for you, and start posting in NBS leading up and throughout the, the BIF.

    Here are the rules:

    You must ship a minimum of 66 (3-22oz bottles)-72 (a sixer of 12s) ounces of beer that is NEW TO YOUR TARGET. You may, of course, ship more.

    One of your beers must be wrapped as a "Mystery Beer". When you receive your box, you must review your mystery beer blind.

    You must also include a local food item and a piece of brewery swag (T-shirt, glass, etc).

    You must post at least twice a week in the H&H thread. If you're not participating, it removes a lot of the fun for both your sender and target. As an addendum to that, if you're going to knowingly be away from the thread for a period of time (work, vacation, etc) please let me know so that we don't think you're flaking out on the BIF.

    The Official Share date on NBS is Sunday April 14. Please be available to post a review of at least one of your beers on NBS that day.

    This means that you must ship so that your target receives their box no later than Thursday, April 11.

    If this seems like too many rules, this is not the BIF you're looking for. Plenty of others in the sea.

    I will close sign-ups at 7:00pm Pacific time, March 6 (Ash Wednesday).

    Alright everyone! Have fun!

    Wish I could join this one! Spring is going to be very demanding of time and money for me. Hope to join back in the fall.

    I'm taking a break from drinking, so I'll probably sit this one out. I'll make the final decision before the drop dead date on this BIF.

    All I can say is that I had so much fun with the past 2 rounds. You all are such an amazing bunch.

    Like too but I have not had much time posting in BA. Also I have a lot of personal commitments right now. My work has notoriously worked my ass off during these BIF, bastards must know something. I hope that in the fall I might send a box or two. Until then I will be checking in, maybe creating havoc.

    I second JT’s inclusion. Sends great, generous boxes, and has been a consistent contributor on NBS. I will sponsor if that is required.

    Sing me up yet again - I've got four brews already waiting in my reefer for this BIF - and since I added a couple of them to the data base they'll probably be new to my target, unless they live in TX or Germany. The whole "NEW TO YOUR TARGET" is at best problematic, "new" being rather difficult to determine. Like most of us, the beers I've reviewed on BA represent only part of the beers of which I've either tried or consumed mass quantities. Maybe a better standard would be "A beer the target has not previously reviewed on BA" - this would give us a standard for determining "newness" as well a emphasizing the NBS review aspect. But hey, I'll try to follow whatever guidelines are acceptable to the masses.

    Well, that is the basic definition of new used by NBS, so that's easy enough

    I know you're going to hit me, so whatever works for you. I earned it, I guess, for my ninja package to you.

    I'm up for this again! Somehow I seem to have an over abundance of 12 shippers in my cellar right now seems like a good time to clear a few out
