NBS BIF #11 sign-up thread.

Here is the sign-up thread. Please read through the rules of this BIF before signing up.

*The main purpose is to support the New Beer Sunday Thread. So the beers that you send to your target should mostly be new-to-them beers. It's OK to throw in a Want, but focus on new beers, preferably from your area.

*The minimums are 66-72oz (6-12oz, 3-22oz, or some combination thereof) of new to your target beer.
*There is no maximum oz limit. You can send off 1,000oz if you want, but you might only get 66oz in return.
*One of those beers must be a Mystery Beer, which must be drank and reviewed blind.
*Also send at least 1 piece of brewery swag (glassware, T-shirt, etc.). In addition to the swag, include a local food item from your area.
*PARTICIPATION!!!!! You must be willing to be active in the H&H thread. You don't have to post multiple times a day, but at least 2-3 times a week, you've gotta drop some hints, or guess at pairings. Most of the fun in these things is the back-and-forth in the H&H thread, and not being active diminishes the enjoyment of others.
*You must be willing to either post reviews, or at least thoughtful comments, on at least 1 one of your beers on the "Official" share. You can certainly drink your beers before the date, but please keep a couple for the share date on NBS. You can also post thoughts in the H&H thread.
*You must ship so that your target receives their box on the Thursday before the share date. This allows any bottle conditioned beers time to settle, as well as putting a margin of error in for shipping. it's better to ship early than late.

OK, pertinent dates: Sign-up will end when NBS closes after the March 1 edition. I'll send pairings and start the H&H thread that week. The "OFFICIAL" share date on NBS is Sunday, April 5. That is Palm Sunday, the week before Easter. So plan on shipping so that your target receives by 4/2/20.

I do take requests for targets, but I do not promise that I can fill them.

If I don't already have your info, drop me a message with the following:
Name, addy, alternative contact info (email, phone, whatever), any food allergies, and T-shirt size. Also, if there any black-out dates where you won't be around to receive your box(es), let me know that too.

OK, I think that about covers it. Any other questions, please feel free to ask here in this thread, or message me, or one of my helper elves @2beerdogs and @Roguer .

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, a half-a-pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

HIT IT!

 

Prolly not gonna happen. I foresee an intrastate pairing on this one.

 

Encouraged = Expected.
