    I was the lucky recipient of ruizjoseph's Mystery Bottle Part 1 in which I elected for the concealed "mystery" bottle, which turned out to be a Baller Stout and some very awesome extras.

    I tried to run my own version but had no entries :slight_frown: so I am giving this another go

    To remind you of the relevant rules, I send a box containing two bombers to the winner with one of the bottles wrapped up so they don't know the contents (mystery bottle) and one unwrapped (bottle #2). The mystery behind the wrapping could be an awesome bottle or a double-deuce of steel reserve. Winner of the LIF only posts the portion of their haul that isn't going to be part of the next round. The recipient then has to start their own LIF that contains one of the two bottles I sent, either the mystery bottle still in its wrapping or the other bottle that is now wrapped up plus another bottle (or you may elect to have your new bottle be the "mystery bottle"). I would post a photo of the mystery bottle in the thread with identifying characteristics to ensure the recipient didn't peek, as would other senders.

    So how do you win beer?

    My undergraduate and graduate degrees are in film so I want all of you to become budding film makers. To win the beer, you have to make a video(s) and post it in this thread of someone eating beerios (eating cheerios and substituting beer for the milk). Points will be given totally subjectively based on: beer/cereal chosen and likes received.
    Please note that in this round I am dropping the requirement for nice looking videos, I will accept phone videos recorded in portrait mode (though I may die a little bit on the inside). I am also accepting multiple videos and my imaginary points will be cumulative. Therefore the more videos you post, the better your chances of winning.

    Now, we are all advocates of beer, so I am not encouraging you to pair your cheerios with your one and only bottle of Ann but if you have two bottles then go for it :wink:

    Submissions are due before, Monday, October 1st.

    Feel free to ask any clarifying questions in the thread.

    Also, please be aware that my wife is expecting our second child very soon so I may go radio silent for a couple of days.

    So it is Oct. 1st and entries are officially closed and judging has concluded. Both submissions had a couple of technical issues so I am calling that a draw and awarding imaginary points thusly:

    Pschul4:
    BCBS + 2012 points
    Cheladarita +10 (for sticking to the breakfast theme, it is almost like the mimosa from hell)
    Video taken in portrait mode (no points given or taken away, but there are no winners here)

    BdubleEdubleRUN:
    Old Stock +1, vintage + 2007 points
    Pouring an entire bowl of cereal +10 (I fucking hate tickers and their 2 oz pours, this is about enjoying the actual taste of beer, not showing of to your e-friends that you have "tasted" a beer)
    Live review +5 (I enjoyed hearing the finer subtleties of the pairing)
    Cantillon Shirt and Alpine hat +1 (I was going to ask, but you answered for me)
    Calling pscul4 "Peter Pan" +1 (the boy that never grew up)

    and last but not least

    by putting "quirkzoo" in the title of your video, the related videos after your video finishes (did anyone else get to the end?) are all of my daughter doing cute things like eating cereal and climbing a wall +100

    So the final score is

    Pschul4 - 2022
    BdubleEdubleRUN - 2134

    Congratulations
