    do you mind putting up the final list of participants? With the length of lag in between the NBO and when this BIF got going, might be a good idea to refresh everyone's hop soaked brains on the rules and the participants. Whatcha think Cuz?

    To whomever sends to me...please read my profile before sending. I travel for work and hate to come home to a nice box that has been aging on my front porch in the heat.

    To whomever gets the box after me, I will leave you some nice stouts because i am only taking the bare minimum :slight_smile:

    The rules, for everyone who forgot (like me):

    The down and dirty:

    A 9 bottle shipper will be sent with 3 bottles of 3 different styles of beer. 22oz/750ml bottles.

    I am currently thinking stout, sour/wild and IPA/double IPA.

    I will ship the first box out to the first target.

    The target MUST pick one bottle from each category.

    After that they may pick 3 more bottle of his/her choice.

    They MUST replace the beers they choose with bottles of the same style and the same (or higher) value/quality.

    You should also take your target's wants/distribution into account when replacing the bottles.

    In other words you will be getting 6 bottles and sending 6 bottles! No extras/no swag!

    This all sounds like another Cuzco sham to me....he sends out a box full of 12oz bottles that are rated in the low 80s and by the time it gets back to him, they are 22oz/25oz bottles and all rated 100. Real smoothe Nate....smoothe. :wink:

    Atleast I think it's from this BIF. I have another one going on at the moment...but no hints or anything point to it being from that one. Sooooo it must be Cuzco's box that did not follow the rules :wink:.
