    So I have (2) fresh 4 paks of Mastermind and I am looking for nothing in return. Seriously.

    Well, nothing material. Tell me about a BA that deserves this beer (not yourself ). Post your nominations in this thread and I will decide by the end of the day 9/15.

    @Rlhinson2104 I let her tell you her story if she chooses but I think she would certainly appreciate this. Definitely deserves it.

    It's much easier with some kind of back story.

    @N8DAGR8 He drove his family all the way to Fiddehead after a few days of camping up near Hill Farmstead for the Mastermind release only to find out that the release was postponed. Adding a couple hours to his trek back to Maine. Great dude who is always willing to share some tasty treats !

    Might not be a tear jerker but @waddellc2 just bought a house and could use some awesome beer to fill his new fridge with

    She suffered a terrible injury at work to her foot and as a result lost her job forcing her to relocate. Just now getting back on her feet, literally, and could use some good beer.

    @mhind52 deserves it because he respects beer more than anyone I've ever known. He serves the best beer at the correct temperature. He also has installed TVs on his porch to allow us to watch games and enjoy the smells of outside. Its turned into a real tailgate experience now that its turned cold. The facial expression and reaction to the aroma of a BA stout or double ipas that hes never had before are like a 6 year old opening a cool present on Christmas. He's been known to just sit and smell the empty glass after drinking the last sip to ensure he extends the experience. He respects beer and makes every beer moment count and makes them an unforgettable experience.

    Well, It's not a real sad story. But, a car hit me while on my motorcycle couple years back. Broke both arms, leg, kneecap, ribs, collar bone, fingers, ankle. Have 2 metal plates in my right arm, 1 in my left a metal rod, and plate in my leg, had 4 pins, 100+stitches. 2 weeks in Hospital, 2-3 months till when I could first walk some again. Could not do a lot of the stuff I used to so I got into collecting, and drinking beer now. I am in my last year of undergrad at uga, so kinda broke even though I am a full time manager at a grocery store. Beer is really the only thing that actually makes me happy, and takes my mind off other things, other then my fiance. Not even drinking, but reading and learning about it. Going to bottle shops for hours, trying new stuff. You don't have to give it to me, I can afford ok beer here and there, but if you do I will make a LIF in 2 weeks or so after I get paid and find some decent stuff to give away.

    Also will post picture of gnarly scars on my arms, and knee cap, plus the helmet i was wearing, and my license plate if I can find it , if you do.

    Oh, and if it helps you decide which 3 people get the beer, this same BA just celebrated his 1-year wedding anniversary within a couple days of closing on said house. :slight_smile:

    Wish I could say they were pregnant too to complete the trifecta, but apparently he's been able to put that one off so far.

    I'll go ahead and nominate @hansenm72 for consideration on this one, for several valid reasons:

    1. He's appreciative of fine hoppy beers, and spreads the love of a local brew he has an affinity to (NG Scream)- and I think he'd appreciate the opportunity to see how they compare.
    2. He's a badass with BIF tracking, his Excel sheets are second to none, as anyone in the MLB 13 Run or NFL 33 Club could attest!
    3. He's celebrating the recent arrival of kiddo #2

    ...To elaborate, #1 I can personally attest to, as he's shared some with me and it's phenomenal. #2, that tracking is incredibly complex and he spends a good amount of time organizing everything, even without being the one running the competition. #3 children are undoubtedly a joy, but also occasionally require other types of 'celebrating' :wink:

    Along these same lines, I'll nominate @Damian74Shensky

    He runs more BIFs than anyone, never complains, and even steps up to run the BIFS when others are looking for a commish. He even posts videos to show that all picks, random drawings are legit...not that we'd doubt him anyway.

    Sorry bout that, was very tired when I saw this. I nominate @Donkster46. He has spent the last 14 years serving our country in the navy currently working with weapon systems for our fighters, and he is also going to be deploying sometime in the next couple months. We have been negotiating our trade and I have to say he is one of the nicest people I have met on here, I am sending him a giant box full of goodies including a kbs for his birthday. Help give him a royal send off, I think he deserves it.

    @Shandycan, ain't you the sweetheart making me feel all warm and fuzzy :slight_smile: I am going to nominate @jshusc because as Todd mentionned above I am an excellent BIF tracker and I know that since we started the MLB 13 Run BIF that dude has given away AT LEAST 8 boxes of AWESOME beer with NOTHING expected in return. He advocates non stop.

    Thanks Dennis, nice of you. I couldn't nominate anyone. There's too many really good guys on here. This is not trying to get brownie points here, this is Truth!

    Cheers all
