    No one else was even close. I thought we liked beer here!

    The total haul for 3 brewery stops with 3 people was 1476.60 ounces. And we didn't even fill growlers. I'm kind of disappointed you think so poorly of my beer acquisition skills.

    Dave! You have 24 hours to accept or choose me a Local victim to receive the goods. and GO! The clock is ticking my friend.

    In the past we've had three WI residents participate, although I think in just one or two rounds each

    The simultaneous feeling of "I hope this isn't me [so SixterCAN keeps going]" and "Man, I'd like to get that box" does not get any less weird the more times it happens.

    I'm definitely glad this thing gets to make at least one more stop before getting to me! In a perfect world, each of these boxes would have 30 or 40 (if not more) stops before they came to a close.

    Speaking of, I'd be curious to know how many people have already received all 3? It won't be anytime real soon since I've got 3 new BIFs starting (this, 6 DoH, and Newbie), but I'm considering starting another travelling box up before the end of the year.

    I think it would make sense to do it if there is a large number of people that have already done all 3 and might want another too look forward to, whereas if almost everybody is still anticipating one or two of those coming to them, I don't want to overwhelm.

    Well now I feel bad that I've had all 3. I wonder just how many of us are in that camp. I'm not thinking it is that many since the Sixtercan is only on its 7th lap.

    Don't feel bad, everyone that wants them has the chance to get them eventually, and if we actually do get 40ish laps on each one, it'll be probably more than a year and a half before the originators see them back. By that point, folks like you that got them all early would be dying for a new one, the question is when is the right time to start that new one that it doesn't overwhelm people that haven't gotten them, but can scratch the itch for people that have. I'm guessing by the end of this year, or early next year, will be a good fit and I'll plan to do one then.

    DAMN! Is IDIPA a limited release? My girlfriend is going to be in NJ the last weekend in august. Doubt she will have time to hunt it down but its worth a shot.
