    I've gone to FOBAB the last few years. It's one of the best fests that I've been to. Let me know if you end up going.

    Nice find here, I still haven't see this on the shelves. Barleywine in cans, like where this is going. Too few canned beers around here.

    2nd place box for BIF Rd#3 landed at my place, courtesy of @blassor - many thanks Brandon for your massive generosity and thank you all for your votes, I'm moved by this. Like @beluga92 aptly stated, just happy to spread some local beers around and really enjoying Newbie BIF experience.

    Excellent line up here, and a bunch of wants:
    [​IMG]
    NJ's Tuckahoe Brewing New Brighton coffee stout - love coffee stouts, new brewery for me
    New Glarus Apple Ale - a want, always trying to catch'em NGs
    Kane Vengeful Heart BW - had one Kane before, really liked, looking forward to another one
    Tired Hands Ourison saison - have been loving TH's IPAs, so this will be great
    Gose Gone Wild - a want for a long time now
    Jackie's O's - a want, and a big fan of JOs. I know you'll all raving about this beer, can't wait to try
    Carton Cosmonaut spice and ice cream RIS - goes perfectly with the Soviet themed RIS lineup I'm building

    Thank you again @blassor and everyone else, this is very generous and unexpected. I'll work out a LIF by Mon to recirculate some beers into our community.

    Yeah I think GGW and oro were on your wants. I'm glad I had a few to send you. You sent out a killer box and deserved one. I'm sure whoever gets the red cushions will get another great one

    Hey Guys,

    Just got home, unpacked all the beer and took a Haul Picture.

    After seeing what I actually ended up buying, I realize I have way to much. So it's time for a LIF.

    I'll run this till Wednesday morning so I can ship out soon so the beer's stay fresh.

    How many miles did my wife and I drive during our 5 day beercation? Closest guess will win a surprise box with some beer's in the picture above?

    I've traded with @BartS several times before. When @Yourahoser asked The Locals if we had any recommendations for the last round of Newbies, Bart immediately came to mind. Today I finally got to tick the handshake, and it was glorious.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention Bart dropped some NorCal treats in my lap, too!

    Cellarmaker Coffee & Cigarettes x2! - Should've been a want. Got to try it at Cellarmaker on tap and loved it.
    Almanac Tropical Platypus - Loved everything from the Farm To Barrel series so far.
