    Asides from the obvious point (that we can't get them here), I have to completely disagree. I've really liked everything I've had from them. I also think their cans are cool and unique. If they were local, I'd probably drink a hell of a lot of their stuff.
    EDIT: I'm disqualified because @SammyJaxxx already hooked me up ninja style quite righteously.

    What is Puff? Sixpoint's attempt at a marijuana-laced beer?

    I saw a post with a pic of it on WBAYDN last night and it certainly looked the part.

    Rumor has it that, at some yet to be determined date, someone in this thread will be receiving a random box.

    Okay that was easy it looks like 31 new beers according to my count. So it looks like @beertunes is the winner with the guess of 36. So if you BM me the shipping info I'll get the box together this weekend and get it out the first of the week.

    Well I got to meet-up with 4 BA's that I traded beers with from the Harrisburg, PA area Friday evening. We meet at Al's of Hampden-Pizza Boy Brewing where they have around 100 taps maybe 30 of there own beers. Had a couple of great sours from them Permasmile and Plum Sour. There Sunny Side Up stout is damn good too. Didn't have time to hit any breweries in the Pittsburg area as I ended up buying the little grandkids a rather large swing set structure and we spent most of the weekend building it.

    OK, since I won @smanson56 's LIF, it's my turn to set one up. In case you missed it, here's smanson's post outlining the rules:

    "Okay it looks like were slowing down a bit here so I'm going to try to inject a little new fun here. I'm going to start a LIF for this thread and it's participants and any lurkers out there. I'm going to lay down some ground rules. First the box should be between 144oz's and 192oz's. The box needs to be made up of beers from the senders state only. I will allow the sender to add 1 can or bottle from outside there state. You can make up what ever you want for a contest to choose the winner of the box."

    The St.Louis Cardinals are my favorite baseball team, the Seattle Mariners are my local team. As of this post (6/3/15 3:40pm Pacific time) they have combined for 59 wins so far this season. What date will it be when they combine for 74 wins? Closest to the date wins a box. In event of a tie, I will ask a follow-up question for to determine the winner.

    Reply to this post with your guess. Good luck everyone!

    Damn, you got no confidence in these teams! Right now, the Cards have 28 wins, and the M's 31. My target number is only another combined 15 wins. I'll give ya a mulligan (the only one folks), care to change your guess?
