    3 beers from a local brewery... But Feral doesn't bottle anything, and is there much point for anything else?

    Just did a bit of lunchtime swag shopping for my targets.

    Also picked up some beers that are local to where i live and also where i'm from at the weekend. Lots of homer beers.

    Another hint, other than that both targets are a long way away.

    One target is in a state where i rowed in the last 2 years. The other target is in a state where my favourite NBL team was from growing up in the 80's/90's.

    My target is far away :wink:

    At present 5-6 of the beers I'm sending are Belgian inspired (only 2 of which are from Belgium), and 3 of the beers I'm sending have been in contact with wood.

    I have drunk all but 1 of the beers I'm sending previously.

    At least 6 of the beers I'm sending use ingredients in addition to malt, hops, water and yeast.

    That box sounds terrible. Might even be the worst box of all time.







    Until mine goes out :rolling_eyes:

    Any thoughts on adding some folks from the US into the mix? Just wondering.

    Mulder1010 organised an International BIF about a year or so ago with people from the US, Australia, Sweden and Germany I think in there.

    Since then there has been a bit of a problem with boxes getting through US customs. Around the 10th Anniversary of the September 11 attacks there seemed to be a lot of trouble getting boxes through. I think 1 in 5 made it. That forced a number of Aussies to pull out of a European/International BIF that boatshoes was organising. We just couldn't be real certain that we could fulfil our side of the BIF.

    If things change I'd certainly love to be a part of an Aussie/US/International BIF.

    Just an update--------- 2 boxes should be landing on Monday, as they are in transit.
    when you send a box please let me know. Not the target you are shipping to.
    Pictures of the haul are a good thing

    More hints with BIF box beers all sorted...one box has one want. The other box ticks all of the other targets wants.

    One of the beers included is named after a well known person in the local beer scene here.

    I got something I thought was a Stormaktsporter, which wasn't, so I was sad.

    Then I got a torn magazine, and I was happy again.

    EDIT:

    The box I sent arrived in Sydney today, by the way... so I hope the person knows and goes to pick it up at the post office.
