    Time to get the ball rolling on this BIF.

    I will be sending out the first box later this week.

    Things to remember:

    When you get the box you must pick 3 and ONLY 3 brews from the box. You must choose one stout, one IPA, and one from the surprise style.

    You must replace the beers you choose with the same style, exception being on the surprise style. Don’t care what style you replace with as long as it is not a stout or IPA.

    There can be no duplicates (unless you are sending two 12oz bottles) in the box you send out.

    Every beer in the box must be rated at 85 or higher and must be at least 22oz. Two 12oz bottles will work, one 750ml will work. You get the idea.

    Try to hit your targets wants.

    If it’s not in the rules, then its fair game!

    Try to keep the time between receiving your box and sending out a box to ONE week.

    Lastly, since this is a BIF for noobs I would like every one to take a picture of the box they get (all six beers) and the box they send out (all six beers) Three should be the same. This is just to ensure that everyone is playing by the rules. When I get the final box back to me I will post a picture of the box I sent out and the box that I received. Once this is posted everyone else can post their two pictures

    the temperature in my target's state is 12 degrees cooler then my states right now (but FL right now feels like 100+).

    As unlikely as it is to cause problems, mentioning it here just in case -- I am out of town this week (in San Diego) and will be back Sunday 6/23.

    1) I have never been to my targets state
    2) I have easy access to atleast 2 of their wants
    3) I might be bending the 2 12oz rule to make my target happy

    My target needs to get off the top of the building, if he wants to get his package

    Unfortunately it is too late to get into the BIF. This thread is intended for the BAs who have already signed up through the NBO, "New BIF Offering", thread that was posted a while back.

    Just started looking for the NBO threads and hopefully you find something you can get into

    As for the rest of you -- My target's state is home to the brewery that brews my personal white whale

    And the first box is sent. Sorry for the couple day delay, I have had endless problems at work to deal with.

    I hit three of the twenty two of my targets wants. One in each category!

    My target lives in a state where that state is part of the plot of a really funny Seinfeld episode.

    My target's wants list is smaller then average, but I still think I got them covered with things they will enjoy!
