    It looks like an IPA, stout & wild card to me... what am I missing?


    If there's one thing I hate, it's losing. If there's two things I hate, it's losing and getting cancer.

    I hope I didn't mess it up! LOL.

    I partook in a HUGE BIF yesterday, and had one of the beers that were inside of the package. Had I'd not drank it, I would have chose that one. There are two small format bottles inside that I've also had...

    As long as 3 stouts, 3 ipas and 3 wildcards leave in your box and you only took 3 from the box you received then I don't see a problem

    Since the BA 10-10-10 is in essence an IPA (I was bending the rules, drinks much, much, more like a BA barley wine) it can work as the IPA, even though my original intention was for it to be a the wildcard (it originally had a label designating it as such). Also because it is pretty close to another bottle in the box that said bottle could take its place as the wildcard.I am sure everyone will enjoy the bottles.

    Overall, nice box! I've been lucky to try everything you chose and they are all awesome!

    Cheers!

    whose next?

    Someone who is in 3 time zones away from me. I plan on sending tomorrow. This person has wants I can easily hit. I've always wanted to see a Dave Matthews Band concert in this persons state.

    Not gonna lie... I think I'm still in the running as a potential recipient. The 36 hour drive hint has me excited, just not sure if that hint includes time for sleep or if blguillen has a lead foot. And unlike my favorite band, DMB still plays my state... they were here last week in fact.

    ok, so my desk is a mess. LOL. I'm packing boxes...

    The box for this BIF should go out today. On my way home, I need to stop at a certain brewery to get a want for my target. This brewery is in the OC and has been pumping out some amazing sh*t for as long as they've been around.

    What beer?

    We'll find out...

    im pretty sure its not coming to me, but after the fake out for the first box, i dont know what to think anymore, either way, box landing on saturday means it can move on to the next person sooner, so we all win!

    Hint:

    My target lives in a state that borders a body of water.

    I do.

    That 36 hours is if I did not stop to sleep and drove straight through.

    I'll be up to my neck in a body of fresh water tomorrow, a few hours away from home and hoping to have some sort of internet access out in the sticks. If for some reason this box lands in MI, I'll find someone to provide shelter for it until Sunday.

    You'll be ok

    So, FedEx is now showing landing date of Tuesday. Not sure why it changed. Hopefully it'll change again and it'll land Monday.

    Friday tip: the 6 bottles + extra have a combined BA score of 94.85. There are 3 bottles that have scores of 100. The lowest is 87.
