    I have too much beer. I'm going to send out 12 bottles to a random person. I don't know what's going to be in the box, but there won't be old IPAs, there will be at least one sour, one stout, one can, and what ever else I grab, and if there's a little room, a glass. It's getting warmer, so I just want to turn some of this stuff over.

    Rules:

    1. You have to send me a shipping label. Should have your address as both the sender and recipient. Box is a pretty standard size 12 bottle styro shipper.

    2. Reply to this thread with whatever you want. You can plead your case, nominate someone else to get the box, tell a story, or just put "I want it". I'll let it go for 24 hours (until 5pm eastern, Sunday March 16).

    3. At 5pm, I'll use http://www.random.org/ to generate a number between 1 and how ever many replies this gets. I'll post the number and winner, message them, and that's it. Pretty simple.

    4. You then have 30 days to start your own LIF, or you will be shamed all over the intewebs. I have no way to enforce this, so honor system and all that.

    I will ship Monday or Tuesday. Probably should be only lower 48, no international, I don't want to do paperwork.

    Thanks!

    Cool post! I'm pretty sure whoever wins will send you something really nice in return though so you may as well make some more space :slight_smile:

    I plead the case that I had to taste bully guppy a few months back and have been blinded. Need good beer to restore my vision.

    Hey, it's 5PM (5:04, but who's counting), and there were 16 replies.

    I went to Random.org, put for it to select a number from 1 to 16, and the number it pulled was 10.

    That means BRClemons from Minnesota is the winner! I've sent off a BM with my info.

    Thanks for playing!
