    I was fortunate enough to receive a Black Tuesday in trade after I had gotten one for helping a buddy out with an unforeseen problem. That means I have two now and want to share the love.

    The winner will receive:
    2011 Black Tuesday
    An assortment of stuff from my cellar.

    Here are the rules:

    Lower 48 only (sorry to those who cannot participate).
    Must not have tried Black Tuesday (on tap or bottled).
    Must drink this yourself or share it with a tasting group.
    It would be awesome if you start your own LIF shortly after winning.
    One guess per person
    Your wants list must have at least 50 beers (to give me a shot at hitting some).
    Your account must have been active before the start of this LIF.
    Here is the game:

    I am taking my MN High Pressure Piping Test on April 12th. I will be enjoying four specific beers that night with four buddies. Guess the beers that we will be cracking that night. These beers may or may not be on my gots.

    Tiebreaker: 1. How many years have I been going to school for pipefitting? 2. What made it so I was able to go to school for this amount of time?

    This LIF will close at 3:00PM central time on March 21st, 2012. The person with the most correct at the end wins.

    I thought the only way to make a pipe fit is to spit on it????
    have fun with this, I have had the BT, so hopefully someone will enjoy it.

    I've given this serious thought. Researched your postings and web presence and employed a private investigator to sift through your trash for clues. The results:

    1995 Crazy Horse Malt Liquer
    Can of Billy Beer
    2oz of the elusive possibly mythical Westvleteren 13
    Barrel Aged Zima

    I know I got all four right so the tiebreaker will not be needed, but just for the sake of completeness...

    1. How many years have I been going to school for pipefitting?

    This is a trick question unless you are an astrophysics PHD. To gain such skills, one would need to train long and hard in two separate visits to the Dagobah System. During the second visit you would need to face your greatest fear. Traveling such a distance would require light speed which could slow or reverse time for the passenger. Therefore, it might have taken you two day long visits to be trained, but to us it could have been hundreds of years.

    2. What made it so I was able to go to school for this amount of time?
    This is where the PI comes in handy. I don't want to embarrass you with the sordid details, but let's just say you spent a lot of time at banks cashing singles in for larger bills.

    Should I just send you my address now?

    Seriously, very generous LIF. I recently traded for my first BT otherwise I'd be all over it. Cheers.
