    Good day everybody! Got hit yesterday with a surprise box from @r0rschach - thirteen new beers (all Texas locals) and some hot sauce. Thanks John, I can hardly wait to crack them! My computer died yesterday as well, so I won't be able to post the pix until it is resurrected. Oddly enough, the day before, Mrs Lizard and I scheduled our next flight to TX - back at 5 Stones at the end of Feb and the first of Mar.

    Sorry to hear about your computer @Ozzylizard. I've been to New Braunfels Brewing Co many times but I've somehow never made it to 5 Stones. Had a few bottles though. Hope you have fun!

    @r0rschach is better than your sender... He sent you food items BEFORE your sender did (ahem-me).

    Hey, I’m still here - and posting reviews when I can. Thing is, I’m down to some really special bottles Greg sent me (a lot of limited Suarez and one Kane anniversary), and if at all possible, I want to share them with people.

    It’s been one of our calmest BIFs though, overall. Smaller number of participants, and very few ninja boxes overall. We are probably all recovering from last round. :slight_smile:

    Hopefully the Spring BIF will be another monster.

    FYI, the Newbies BIFers sent me TWO unprovoked ninja boxes. I’ve retaliated already, but if anyone else wants to show them what’s up, message me for an address.

    Negative ghost rider. You received 2 boxes because you partook in the Double Dong / Savages round(s). The Newbies got together to Beer It Forward to another BIF group on BA. The Newbies, along with other BIF groups on BA (Locals, SWTFYW, Rookies) have also done so in the past.

    We (BIF community) have stuck to tradition and have done just that; Beer It Forward to another group. The DD/Savage group just can't seem to comprehend that (yourself included since you're "not part of that group") philosophy, and have decided to "Beer It Sideways" or whatever cute thing they can come up with. If you can't play along nicely, don't play along at all, please.

    Was never in Savages. The Round 1 Dongers were too sensitive for me to graduate to that.

    More importantly, can’t say how disappointed I am that you seem to identify more as a Newb than a Newbeerb. You should know better.

    Finally, @jschott75, @HeartofMiami and @Elkevjoe — you lurk here, you gotta join the next round. Thems the real rules. NBS BIF is the Elder God of BIFing. Hidden, unworshipped, slow-moving, but still not to be trifled with.

    Still computerless - I'm at the local library using one of theirs. 5 Stones is only a few miles from my brother's place at New Braunfels so we can be there in 5 minutes - close, usually not crowded, and good beer. I've only been to NBB once - had a nice talk with the bartender before they opened while Mrs. Lizard was waiting in the car - I left a window down for her.

    Sign up for the Steve Kinser round starts Sunday! Let us put aside the petty bickering, and start focusing on who we're going to wish for as targets.

    Hey Folks.
    I've been combing through NBS BIF #9 (Nein) and this last thread, trying to find a lucky person. I'm looking for who rec'd the infamous NBS Seat Cushion. Does anybody remember who the steward is?
