    I'm stoked to be back in this BIF!

    In terms of preferences, I tend to like the lighter/blond sours more than the dark ones. Also tend to have a boner for raspberry sours, and belgians. Bring on the pucker!

    I see, you are to Raspberries as I am to Blueberries and Apricots.

    Word. Not that I'd turn my nose up at either of those fruits, but raspberries have top billing.

    my target is west of me( like everyone else in here) and has more wants and gots than i do.

    whoever has me if you homebrew and have anything sour i love trying homebrews. i like fruited lambics nd sours but lean slightly toward gueuze and and musty/funky stuff.

    My target will be getting a 400 bottle count seven year old sour, a 2 month old 700 bottle count sour, and one yet to be determined. The last one is difficult, because I know this guy has a serios cellar and I want something that is...well...unexpected.

    He will also be so luck as to receive a 26 bottle count brett Saison with white wine grapes(sauvignon blanc, semillion and chardonay) and a hint of french oak. It was just bottled tonight, and will be ready to try around when the box hits. While not strictly sour, it is quite funky.

    I really hope you have me as all of those mentioned intrigue me. A brett saison with wine grapes sounds awesome and someone will be lucky.

    This BIF is always fun! Thanks again for running this round Olympus! To whom it may concern, also a Bruery Reserve member here...

    My target isnt too far away...in fact, we've traded before.

    Whoever has me, I'm not really picky when it comes to sours. I like fruited lambics, wilds, dark/blond sours, funked up sours, etc. If it's sour, chances are I'm going to love it. A homebrew would be awesome to try. If it matters, I'm also a Bruery RS member.

    My target is East of me. I know this guy has had a lot of beers so I'm going to try my best to slay him with some epic sours.

    Im a huge fan of Russian River, although I have access to the regular lineup. I'm open to most anything that I haven't had. Living around Philly I have access to alot, but not everything! My wants/gots are pretty up to date. My target had not yet posted since tethers were assigned.

    My brother is a RS memeber and lives in CA, so I do get many of the RS beers as well as the normal RR releases.

    If I tracked down a taxi it would cost me $3,731. Heading west

    Excited for this one to get rolling! I'm a fan of any well-made sour (gueuze, fruit lambics, american wilds are all up my alley). As far as specific breweries I enjoy, a lot of the usual suspects come to mind, Cantillon, Russian River, Allagash, Bruery, Ithaca, Drie Fonteinen, etc...

    Glad to be back in this BIF, haven't been as active on BA since the switch but maybe this will pull me out of my trading break. I'm a Bruery RS member and live close enough to RR to not need their beers. I'm not looking for any Upland either. My wants list is pretty accurate plus any Cantillon (I've only had the pleasure a few times) - wants would be amazing and I'll look into adding some.

    Here is my untappd link if this helps: http://untappd.com/user/brewcaddy

    To my sender, I would prefer stuff like this:
    Cantillons, even ones I've received recently in other BIFs
    Drei Fonteinen
    Captain Lawrence Sours
    Jackie O's Sours
    Cascade Sours (except blueberry)
    Ithaca Sours

    And my cellar already has lots of stuff like this:
    Bruery Reserve Society 2011-2012 Sours
    Russian River Supplication, Temptation, and Beatification Batch 5
    Upland Lambics (except sour reserve)

    I hope this helps!

    Since people are posting things they want, I'll help out my potential trader. Not expected, but will personally hug---pre-07 Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek. Other than that, no need to send me any Lou Pepe, Fou, Iris, Rose, Lambic, or Gueuze. St. Lam would be great. Vintage 3F is cool, but you can stay away from most Belgians, as I have decent access to post '07's. Same thing with the 3 sisters.

    I am not a Bruery reserve member, but I have trades coming for Oude Tart, so anything aside. I also have a few Cascades coming. Capt. Lawrence, Upland, Allagash, or Hill Farmsteads are things I'd like to try. I'm not picky, so have fun finding things you think I'll like.

    Most replies thus far apply equally to my own situation;
    Cantillon is my favorite brewery.
    I have plenty of Belgian standards laying around the cellar (classic gueuze, 3F Oude gueuze/Kriek, Tilquin, etc)
    I too am a member of the Reserve Society, so the only Bruery sour I'd actually want is Pinotlambicus!

    If you are shipping to me and have any questions, ask Oreo.
    If you're shipping to Oreo and have any questions, ask me.

    Here's my hint-- my target should know who he is because last round i shipped to his friend, and this round he assigned me to ship to him...
