    So I've been feeling quite hyped due to three awesam acts of generosity that I've witnessed today:

    1) A regular trading partner, leschkie, offered up bottles of Beatification for $4$ locals on the trade forums.
    2) Shortly thereafter, I received a trade box from chase2634 that included three great extras that were all Wants.
    3) More importantly, I attended a charity event put on by students at the school at which I teach. You might be familiar with St. Baldrick's--people get sponsored to shave their heads to raise money for kids' cancer research. This event, run entirely by high school kids, had 115 participants and raised over $50,000 today. Hundreds of people showed up to support the shavees, and a bunch of the girls even came out and cut 10 inches of their hair off to donate to a group that makes affordable wigs for cancer patients.

    It's been a beautiful early spring day, I hung out at my favorite bottle shop for a little while and sipped a recent North Carolina release, there's been basketball on tv, people are people cool to other people, and I am feeling like I'd like to pass some of the hype on. I have a two-bottle shipper that I will pack with a bottle of 2012 Foothills Sexual Chocolate and a bottle of the new Foothills Bourbon Barrel People's Porter and send to the first person to answer THREE of my questions correctly. First, the rules:

    1) Lower 48 only
    2) You must not already have (or have had this year's bottling) either of these beers
    3) You cannot have won an LIF within the last three months
    4) You must start an LIF of your own in honor of something hype within a reasonable period of time. I'd love to see you put two one-offs/brewery releases in this two bottle shipper and pass it on. If you can't/don't plan on starting an LIF soon, then please don't participate.
    5) You may not contact any of the BAs mentioned in my questions for hints.

    So, the questions...resourceful BAs will be able to make educated guesses about some, and some will need to be wild guesses. Remember, the first person to answer THREE of these correctly wins:

    1) I drank a beer last Thursday that was from leschkie. He also sent me a glass from the brewery that produced said beer. I broke the glass, unfortunately, but I took the beer to the dome. What was the beer?
    2) A box arrived from chase2634 today, and it included three great extras, all of which were wants. What was one of the three extras? Hint: my cellar is updated.
    3) I mentioned that I attended a charity event put on by students at the school at which I teach. What subject do I teach?
    4) What beer am I drinking as I type this LIF?
    5) Am I happy or sad that Kansas won?
    6) What is my favorite bottle shop here in Raleigh?
    7) What beer did I sip on earlier at said bottle shop's nice little tasting bar? Hint: it's an annual North Carolina release that sees fairly wide distribution. The brewery that makes it can tend to be a bit philosophical.

    Good luck, and thanks for playing, kiddos. If hints become necessary, then I will provide them. After a hint, participants may guess again. Somebody responding for the first time after three hints, though, cannot provide three sets of guesses. A hint just clears the slate.

    Awesome generosity Glenn! This sort of thing just makes my day. You, sir, are good people. And congrats on the charity. What a success!

    Just for fun, here are my answers:

    1) Are you frickin kidding me? :slight_smile: I'll send you a replacement in June when I return to the brewery (hint for the other players in this game if they know where to look)
    2) I'll have to look at your updated cellar and make sure I don't duplicate when I send your box this Monday!
    3) One of them that I received an A in when I was a student
    4) Hmmm, I'll go with one of your homebrews, but I won't mention which one in case I'm on the right track
    5) Not sure about you, but I definitely know how your wife feels!
    6) Unfair if I answer that one
    7) Damn, that's a hard one
