    Not sure if this has been done before, but I thought it would fun to do a BIF revovling around 8 "crazy" nights of Hanukkah, which take place between 12/8-12/16.

    The guidelines are pretty simple:
    - Send 8 bottles of beers that are wrapped up individually prior to 12/8 (Boxes should be received by 12/5) and the recipient opens up a single bottle each night and posts the unveiled beer.
    - There isn't an oz. limit, but one bottle needs to be a growler.
    - Please try to hit wants/as well as send beer that you would be very happy to receive yourself. Try not to send beer that your target can get in their area etc.
    - I will assign you a BA to send your box to. Feel free to throw in some chocolate gelt coins or dreidels :wink:

    Post here or shoot me a message if interested. I would like to get atleast 12 BA's with solid trading history for this to happen. And no, you don't have to be Jewish to join! :slight_smile:

    - Isaac

    Haha....yeah I didn't want to discriminate...I have no idea how many Jewish people are on BA.

    I thought the growler would be fun to include, since people will most likely be around family and friends this time of year and be able to share...or not. :slight_smile: And no, you don't have to drink the beer that night if you don't want to. I just loved the idea of opening gifts for 8 days straight and thought other BA's might like that.

    You're in Mista....if you're still down!

    Hmmm...I dunno if you have solid enough trading history Cuzco. You've only been in 147 BIFs, and I was thinking participants have to be in 150 atleast. :wink:

    If anyone else is interested, please post here or bm. Since the 12/5 deadline for the boxes to land is coming up, I would like to get this started as soon as possible so everyone has some time to get a box together.

    Count me in. This sounds like an awesome BIF. I haven't been able to enjoy Hanukkah since I had my son who now gets all the attention. This I someway to get some of the fun back.

    Not sure what you qualify as a "whale" but I can tell you that there are some BA's that typically kill their targets with awesome boxes. I'm def. not expecting a Wooden Hell or Veritas 004, but who knows what people will send. Like I said initially, you want to send a box that you would very happy to receive yourself.

    using the phone just forgot. Also when are you planning to close/ send out target?

    Depends. I'm aiming to get atleast 12 BA's and so far we have 7. I'd like to close in the next day or two and send out targets mid week. Again, it just depends on how many BA's we get.
