    Was just talking with mulder1010 and Pat has asked me if i'd like to run another Australian BIF, "Aussie BIF II", to be done before Xmas.​

    Those who weren't in the Aussie BIF or those not familiar with a BIF, it stands for Beer It Forward.​

    Person A sends a box to person B, Person B sends to Person X. X sends to A and so forth. You send a box to someone and receive a box from someone else. You don't know who is sending to you.​

    Here is the thread from the previous BIF which was a lot of fun: http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/australian-bif.10911/

    We'll run with the same format as last time...​

    Minimum of 2.25 litres of beer to send with 1 bottle being large format.​
    Box must include:​
    • 3 beers from local brewery
    • 2 from local bottle shop
    • 1 of senders choice
    • 1 piece of swag (i.e. shirt or glassware, with a preference being from a local brewery).
    Or if you wish to send a growler, can send 1 x 2L growler or 2 x 1L growlers.

    The idea is to be generous and to obviously send stuff that a person can't get locally.​

    If you are interested, shoot me a Conversation with the following:​
    1. Full Name
    2. Mobile
    3. Email
    4. Shipping Address
    5. Shirt Size
    Please also update your Wants list with Australian beers and others. This will make it easier for the person sending to you to send you a cool box.

    I'll keep signups open until November 21.

    Then i'll assign targets to ship and have a shipping deadline of December 7, so that everyone has a nice box of beers to open before Xmas and maybe drink over the Festive Season.

    Sorry Brendan, didn't think we'd get any other takers. Will get in touch about future ones.

    Sent mine out today

    11 beers, 10 from Australia, 1 from US. Could not fit the swag in in the end, will fix that up later.

    Am hoping that the beers get to my target safely :S
