    Congrats on the best box Beluga. As expected amazing box from Jeremy. Doesn't get much better than him when it comes to craft beer and as a person overall!

    @oldmetalguy's LIF landed. A box full of three floyd goodies some old favorites, and some stuff I haven't tried yet. Excited to get into all these hops! Thanks again, and looking forward to you being a continuing part of the group. I was half expecting some Rush swag!

    Time for the next round of the CIF (Cushion It Forward)!

    Invite list: Obviously anyone in the Newbie BIF is encouraged to participate. I'll open this up to lurkers as well. The only requirement is at least 5 trades and 100% feedback. In the spirit of the Newbie BIF anyone with less than 5 trades or with less than 100% feedback is welcome to join with a veteran sponsor. Veteran lurkers are also welcome. I will ask that you only sign up if you are committed to keeping the #CIF going.

    The beer: In an effort to keep the #CIF moving along I'm going to limit the beer to a 6-8 bottle shipper with a range of 100 oz. to 152 oz. of 85+ Rated beer, or 4.1+ rAvg if there are too few scores for a rating. Beer must be from outside your target's distribution.

    How it works: If you want a chance at these red chair cushions all you have to do is send me a BM titled "#CIF I'm in!". Include your name, full shipping address (work or home?), phone number, email address, and your Untappd name (optional). Let me know about any shipping date restrictions and style preferences. I'm going to close signups at 6PM EST on Sunday, May 8th.

    Rather than announce the recipient I will ninja the box out. The lucky BA who is surprised by Chad's cushions will add their BA handle and location to the cushions with a permanent marker.

    At this point the sign ups will start over and anyone who hasn't received the #CIF box is eligible. If we get to a point where no one signs up then @KyleDavis becomes the target by default.

    Good luck!

    Since I was the lucky recipient of the best box in the BIF round 3 thanks to @beluga92, I would like to do a LIF. I'm moving in 3 weeks and it's less beer I have to move.

    (10 pts)Where am I moving? City/State
    (10 pts)What state did I live in before FL?
    (10 pts)What is the first beer I plan on drinking in my new place? (new tick) Brewery/Beer
    (10 pts)The first trade I ever did was for 3 beers. Guess one.
    (10 pts)I just brewed a home brew. Pick one: a) vanilla, chocolate, raspberry porter, b) jalapeno, peach, pineapple pale ale, c) rum soaked raisin oatmeal cookie stout, d) watermelon, lime IPA.

    Hint: I'm moving out of state.
    Content Hint: The box will include a Wide Awake it's Morning.
    If you guess the state and not the city or the Brewery and not the beer it's 5 pts.

    Cheers!
    Steve

    This is a hard one!
    1. Moving to Austin Texas.
    2. You lived in Virginia
    3. You are going to get lone pint yellow rose.
    4. First trade was for heady topper.
    5. I am guessing it is a seasonal choice. I will go with watermelon lime IPA (can i get one point if its B? ha)

    Good luck on the move!

    and my 2nd place box should be heading out tomorrow. I just got back from a work trip and leave tomorrow for vacation. I hope I can get it packed before I leave!

    Not sure if @ravot posted a haul pic in the SWTFYW thread yet, but I recently fired a random box over to him and included a @Mipper pillow in it that also had @Greeny87 and @sembo written on there... don't remember the story behind the pillow but I got the pillow from @sembo in January I think... moving along, moving along :slight_smile:
