    Cheers, hope that sucker is still pretty fresh, no bottle dates but got it from a place that moves through them real quick!

    Ok. So getting around to inspecting what @jschott75 dropped on my porch. A awesome box, most new and the repeat offenders are equally as good!

    I'll update the beers soon, wanted to get some good beer pr0n for National Beer Day!

    I just want to say that I really enjoy trading beer, and had done several trades (even with @Eziel) before I figured out what a BIF meant and found this group. BY FAR, this group has been the best part of beer trading. It's great to see the regional differences in the boxes, and y'all are a great bunch of guys. Our wives should have their own support group to deal with our endless beer chatter, thrice-used cardboard boxes left by the Fedex guy, and watching our eyes sparkle as we unwrap yet another sacred bottle from its bubble wrap cocoon. Cheers, gentlemen!

    Enjoy! @JPond4, I shipped your box out at the exact same time, yet will arrive next week. First time going FedEx for the BIF, but not sure I'm going back. Sorry for the wait.

    I would definitely be interested in some No Rules if possible.

    Tried no rules (2015) for the first time last weekend and thought it was great, and I often don't like porters.

    Awesome box sent, awesome bottles to enjoy!

    Ha, yep we did a little trade awhile ago didn't we?! Glad you found your way to the promise land! Well put :slight_smile:

    Over on Slack (If you're not on the Newbie Slack channel and want to be, just ask!) there was some talk about trying to figure out a Newbie bottle share at some point in the fall - maybe tie it in to a festival or something. Loosely, keep it in your brainwaves :slight_smile:

    Huge thank you to @BartS for helping me out with the Zima! and i guess he wanted to balance out the quality of beverage so he throws in a fresh PtE and a brand new KBS.

    Glad you enjoyed. I felt the same way 3 BIF's ago. That's really the whole point here to exchange good beer and have less stress. Either way, keep hanging around and having fun.

    Careful, buddy. I'm on #TeamBart and I found an empty styro-shipper in my basement the other day.

    Nah, you CAN just let it go. Don't let what you can do and what you want to do get confused.
