    Thought this would be a great BIF, although I know it's been done in one form or another before.

    Rules:

    144oz of beer, 22oz bottles count as 16oz <----going for depth of packages here, obviously rep your area hard to win. Extras more than encouraged

    One bottle that is a brewery only release in your state. May be a growler if a very special beer, i.e. barrel aged, super special, etc

    Non shaker-pint glass from a local brew pub/brewery. Tulip, goblet, nonic, etc

    Shirt from a local brew pub/brewery, misc swag like coasters, keychains is optional

    If there's enough interest, the top three packages (to be decided in a forum thread by a non-participating group of BA's) will be put up to a vote. The winner gets a 6-pack package from all of us for truly representing their state's awesome beer.


    If interested, reply and I'll see if I can match people up. Again, all of the beer must come from your home/shipping address state.

    Makes me wish KY had more breweries than distilleries...

    Wow, no interest. A few years ago this would have killed. Yet another nail that confirms trading is dead. Long live the ebay/beeradvocate trading forums. Drawing a difference between ebay and the trading forum on BA is like drawing a line in the sand mid-sandstorm.

    I complain a lot. Never mind me. I thought this would be a cool BIF. Good packages, with an incentive to send the "good stuff". I would love to get this off the ground. Many of us live in great beer states, drinking awesome locals that don't get play on BA.

    But yeah, I complain a lot. I call it being passionate.

    I'd be interested, but I'm saving money for a trip back east. :grinning:
