    I have participated in many BIFS and now I want to start my own. (Be Gentle).

    Let me see your CAN-CANS is all about showing other BA's what your local area has for great beer in cans. We all have great breweries near us that have been or are moving to canning for many different reasons. For whatever the reason is that they can it we want to celebrate those cans and your local brewers.

    Here we go with the RULES!

    1-Min 144 oz (that is a 12 pack)

    2-A minimum of 72 oz must be CANNED!

    3-The remaining 72 oz can be any format you like. Bomber, 750, Growler Just make it good beer.

    4-The box must contain some type of local food item that comes in a can! Peanuts, Popcorn, beef jerky if it comes in a can its fair game!.

    5-All beers must be produced within 200 miles of your general living city.
    -Exceptions can be made to include neighboring states, say FL can send stuff from GA and LA and AL. If they can't fill a box with Florida brewed goodness.
    -The spirit of the box should be local!

    6-Try to keeps wants, and style likes and dislikes in mind

    All boxes should arrive no later than June 30th. This should be more than enough time and barring good reason and communication any late shippers could be subject to be reported as a bad trader.


    Going to limit this to 30, hopefully to make it more manageable for me to pair you up. If there is a huge demand I will add more people as they come.

    If you would like to participate please send me a Beer mail with your contact information, include your name, address, email and telephone number.

    Lets have a good time and get our CAN-CAN on!

    Looks like we have Lucky 13 as of this morning
    States represented
    VA, NV, MN x2, FL x4 , LA, IL, OR, NJx2

    It looks like we have a few people that are newish to BIF's and Trading. I will be asking some of you to ship first and some of you not to ship until your target gets me a tracking number. Sorry It has to be this way but I think it is the fairest way to go.

    Lets get a few more peeps in this thang, so I can get the targets assigned.

    Quick question. Are you going to put a max oz limit on this or is one of the secondary goals to have a few FedEx guys file for worker's comp?
