    Good Afternoon BA!

    Looking to start up a BIF in anticipation of Easter. I am opening this BIF quite early in hopes that we can get a solid participant list and start shopping to hit wants of our targets. To be eligible for this BIF you must a) have prior trading and BIF experience with positive feedback, b) be located in the lower 48, c) be able to commit to shipping by no later than 3/25/2015, and d) be able to meet the below package criteria. This BIF will be limited to 30 participants, with no more than 3 participants coming from the same state. Once I receive 29 participants (I am going to participate as well, and will have my wife send out assignments so that I am kept in the dark) targets will be sent out. You will have ample time to shop for your target so hopefully you can hit some wants and put together a solid package. Once your package is sent, you will be required to send the tracking number to my wife.

    Package Criteria

    Each package must contain the following (note: there is no volume limit, just count/quality limits):

    2 Bottles of brewery only or limited release, highly rated beers (95+ - think Hunaphu, BCBS Variants, Darklord, Darkness level beers)

    2 Bottles of semi-limited, highly rated beers (90+ - think Love Child #4, Parabola, Farm to Face, HF shelf saison level beers)

    2 Bottles of fresh/delicious local beer (no rating requirement, though must be from your state with limited distribution out of your state – think Trillium IPAs, Captain’s Daughter, Ghandi Bot level beers)

    1 Piece of Brewery Swag (~$15- t-shirt, hats, glasses, etc. – please no brewery freebies like coasters)

    Easter Candy

    You can feel free to go above and beyond for your target if you can hit more wants, etc. – this is just a guideline for what must be included. Just use your judgement to make sure you fulfill each category.

    To Enter

    Please send me a BM with the subject name of “Drunken Bunny BIF” with the following information:

    1) State of Residence

    2) Full Mailing Address and Name

    3) Cell-phone Number

    4) T-Shirt Size

    5) Favorite Styles

    6) Least Favorite Styles

    Hopefully this will be a great BIF and some fun. Once targets go out I will open a Hints & Hauls thread to stir up some speculation and post our hauls!

    As always, let me know if you have any questions!

    Cheers!

    Tom

    Also, two important pieces - a) start updating your wants, and b) once the hints and hauls thread goes up everyone can post a "drunken bunny wish list."

    Cheers!

    I have yet to participate in a BIF but would really like to. I am unsure if I have bottles that meet the first requirement, but I'd love to talk about it to see if I do.
