    I likely will, seems like the field is more wide open so far this year which is nice. There were a lot of fun BIFs for March Madness last year, @Moc513 had a really good format as well that was fun, in addition to the full bracket ones. I'll also likely do the bottle bet format again this year for the four golf Majors, starting with the Masters in April. In short, I'm a degenerate gambler and any sporting event is always augmented with a bit of beer riding on the outcome.

    Cheers!!!

    Did someone say college hoops BIFs? When can we start? Do we have to wait till March? More than just bracket ones? Anything that involves the spread? I'm already excited. I sound like a degenerate. Eh, truth hurts.

    Dan.....saw your "Bad BIFer" thread. If you need someone to send a box to make up for one of the "welchers" hit me up and I'll put together a box of FL stuff to help make it up. I've had problems too with guys who flaked in the ones I've run, and in the future I'm going to be way more vigilant in who participates. It would also be nice if there was a way to use the trade feedback system in addition where the BA who ran the BIF could leave feedback for anyone who flakes. Or perhaps get the moderators involved and have them post warning in the flakes profile ?

    Thanks for the offer John. Yea, I learned a lesson on this one. I thought posting the league # and password would work best, but next year I am definitely going to have everyone message me to get the password, So I have PROOF that they joined, and can better control who signs up.
    I'm going to give B_sackett another week or so. He hasn't been on BA since September, I was hoping someone that knew him would see that post, and tell him to login. I have tried searching for him on Facebook/instagram/twitter, but I don't know his first name. Someone mentioned in a BM that he shipped to him last year. And remembered that he was going through a divorce. SO, I hope everything is ok. If he doesn't login in the next couple weeks, I will let you know.

    I'm going to send a box to firemanchris for the guy who flaked on him. I will let you know about B_sackett. Thanks man, you're a true BA in my book, I don't care what @Summer78 says about you !!!
    Cheers

    "Correction* Upon closer inspection that's a Tyranena Carnal Knowledge Double Oatmeal Stout not the Down n Dirty as previously stated..

    #VCS

    The PseudoSue is great. Floral/tropical nose, tropical fruit and tangerine taste, minimal malt, clean dry fnish. Different than the last time I had it from the bottle. Still awesome, but different. Last time it tasted like a Zombie Dust clone. This time more like a prototypical west coast IPA.

    On a side note I had a bad fall skateboarding yesterday. Broken hand. Torn rotator cuff. Partially separated shoulder. Looking at surgery and a long recovery. These beers are just what the Doctor ordered. Thanks again @richkrull. Cheers!

    Just a quick update for everyone.
    Right now, we have 19 boxes that have not landed yet. By my count 5 of them are on the ground and running.
    I have sent out messages to the rest that have not yet shipped. And some of your are already filling me in with shipping details. Thanks guys.

    BAD BIF'er update:
    Seems like B_Sackett is MIA. He has not been online since September. I cant find him on instagram/untapped/etc. I put his fate in the hands of the Mods. One of the mods has graciously volunteered to step up and send a box from Wisconsin to make up for his missing box.
    The User who used the name "Jameson PA" has been banned. I don't know his BA name, only the Mods know, and they are not allowed to disclose it. But I will be sending a make up box to FiremanChris to make up for this one.
    Cheers

    Got a rad box from @100Resolutions yesterday.

    First off let me say that Keith doesn't fuck around when shipping beers. Box in a box, ziplocked bags, bubble wrap with saran wrap, bomb proof packaging.. Took me about 20 minutes to unwrap everything one handed. Lol

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    My 1st 18th Street brews, Undercrown and Galaxy Slayer- Both DIPAs.
    3 Floyds Blot Out the Sun- My 1st stout from 3 Floyds. Stoked!
    Zombie Dust x3- Permawant! Bottled 2 weeks ago!
    Gumballhead x2- Permawant! Bottled 1 week ago!
    Pipeworks Lizard King- New brewery/beer. Heard a lot of good things and cant wait to try it.
    Dark Horse Plead the 5th- Loved the BA version, excited to try the base.
    New Holland BBA Dragon's Milk Reserve w/ Coffee and Chocolate- New brewery/new beer. Dig the smaller format BBA stouts.
    Founders Imperal Stout- One of my favorite RIS.

    Not pictured- A cool handwritten note and a bitchin 3 Floyds sticker.

    Keith, you hit a home run with this box!! So stoked. Thanks a bunch!

    Edit: Just cracked the Lizard King. What a clean, crisp, and fruity pale ale. Legit top 10 if not top 5 PAs I've ever had. Cheers!

    Got my second box for this season from @afi4lifer

    [​IMG]
    What a killer box!

    NG cranbic - permawant and I'm down to only one other bottle I think, so this one'll be drank soon!
    FW Sucaba - 2014 and also a permawant!
    TG Rover truck - got one of these in a different BIF and it was real good. Excited to have it again
    Kent falls - spelt saison. New brewery to me. Sounds good
    Crooked stave - batch 50! I love this brewery. Batch 100 was incredible so I'm very excited to try this one!
    Almanac farmers pluot - anything from these guys is always welcome. I think more breweries should make use of hybrid fruits.
    Avery PumpKYn - I never picked any of this up last fall and always wanted to give it a shot

    Thanks for an excellent box of permawants and some new ticks too!

    By my count we still have 13 boxes out there.
    2 are confirmed in the air.
    8 have coordinated with me, and plan to ship soon.
    Still waiting on 3 more. If I don't hear back from these 3 by next week with a plan on when they are shipping their box, I will have to re-open the bad bif'er thread.
