    Its OK in all reality it doesn't matter, its always been a fun BIF. I don't have any interest in running it again, once was enough for me. Its good to see that its still going. One thing I would recommend is have a back up bottle if two people trade in the same beer you can swap out the 2nd bottle. It would suck to get the exact same beer you anted.

    I thought about that and was thinking of checking to see what bottle it was and if you turn in the same I have then you have to wait until someone else turns in a bottle but that might be a hassle so maybe ill bring a back up bottle

    I am going to close this down a April 11th so it gives me enough time to go through everything, put out a final list of beers, and give you guys time to say which beers you would be disappointed if you got in the BIF.

    I'm interested, just need to decide what to bring. Though I thought it'd be easy, it's sounding like it might be difficult to pick an approved beer.

    High quality, not easily found, highly sort after. Trying to stay away from recent vintages of widely distributed beers as mentioned above.

    I may or may not do this... If I do rest assured the bottle will be worthy and I'll let you know

    I am going to start compiling a list of proposed beers. Please review and if you have objections to a beer please voice it so everyone is happy with the bottle they get. If you do not speak up then you have no right to complain later.

    I will also be checking the bottle as you turn it in to ensure you dont switch bottles from the list as a way of quality control and to ensure that you do not get the same bottle you turn in.

    If it is then I dont have to and you get what you get which is fine by me I was just trying to provide some security.

    Please read the list and if there are any beers you would be upset if you received please speak up so everyone walks away happy. Please do this by Midnight Sat April 18th.

    I am not going to check beers but I think it would be cool if we post a string of how the BIF went like I got beer X from MCMASTERSANCHEZ then the next person puts I got beer Y from person 2 and so on and if anyone strays from the list then you get publicly outed but I trust this will not happen.

    Please bring your beer wrapped up/concealed some how and put your BA Handle on it so people know who they got there beer from.

    I will post later what I am wearing so you can find me.

    I would vote no to the CW Rye Barrel - It's a tasty brew but weren't they sold this year at the anniversary party for pretty cheap?
