    I've wanted to try this but literally no clue what to do. I'll search thread but can someone point me in direction of how this works? Thanks

    I'm sure one of the OG Newbies can explain better but basically you'll be assigned someone to send a box. As @MTKATL described, it will contain a certain amount of nicely rated beer. Usually the targets wants and other good stuff out of their distro. You'll receive a box from someone with similar quality beer, hopefully getting some wants in the process.

    Along the way, before you get/send your box, you'll see/post clues and try to narrow down your sender if possible. Either way, everyone sends and receives one box. Update your wants list on here too.

    If you look back through this thread you'll see examples of boxes. Start in October, 2016 and you'll see the last 2 rounds of the Newbie BIF.

    Cheers!

    @Joenap419 It's pretty simple. You get assigned a target. You stalk your target on BA, untappd etc to assess their wants. You start filling a box with beer and swag. Post vague hints on who you are sending said box to. Overfill the box with extras (i.e. Impress these Mo Fo's) When the shipping window arrives, seal the box full of goodness and bomb the crap out of their porch. Post the PrOnz, give credit to and thank your sender.
    The only problem is that you end up joining another BIF and another. Then people just start randomly sending you beer because you looked at them funny or you said that you could solo dome a Black Tuesday faster than @azuelke .
