    The time has come to celebrate barleywines and stouts by launching attacks on porches around the country!

    Here is a brief recap of the rules (read them carefully!):

    *Official share date: weekend of November 10-12
    *At least 96 ounces of barleywine/stout to your target
    *At least one Mystery Beer.
    *One item of swag if you would like (preferences will be included when I send you your target)
    *You must drink at least one of your received beers on the official share weekend (post here and NBW).
    *Post clues in this thread and BE ACTIVE.

    DON'T FORGET TO UPDATE YOUR BEER LIST, INCLUDING WANTS. Go ahead and list your Untappd handle below if you would like to share it.

    Pairings are being reviewed (by me and Dan @DIM ) and will go out ASAP!

    I know right? Maybe my first hint is a box of beer on your doorstep....

    Out of curiosity, how do you navigate an odd number of participants?

    Same as an even number - everyone has a sender and target. Mathematically speaking, it's the same.

    But wouldn't that leave someone with two targets or am I just stupid?

    Nope. Because everyone has a sender and a target, it doesn't matter if there are odd or even numbers. Here's an example with an odd number:

    1 sends to 2
    2 sends to 3
    3 sends to 1

    Think: Round Robin. Same concept, just all at once. It's not an elimination tournament.

    I like to use sports metaphors. :slight_smile:

    A QUICK TIP FOR THOSE NEW TO BIFS:

    If you want to figure out if your target has tried the beer you are intending to send, click on their name, click on the number next to "beers" and then sort by "brewery" by clicking on it (right above the name of the first beer listed).

    Please do this for all the beers you are sending to avoid sending a beer that the person has already tried!

    Here is my Untapped profile. I check-in most beers here. I mostly hangout in Homebrew forum on BeerAdvocate.

    That Bamburana is one of the best beers of all time!

    Agreed! That’s why it still hangs as my back ground. I was so unsuspecting of how good it was going to be when I cracked my first can. I couldn’t believe there wasn’t more hype or that it didn’t come in a waxed bottle.
