    So this BIF was started with the idea of a Sours BIF for the common man, where white whales aren't required nor huge ounce limits. The BIF was going to be capped at 25 participants and we ended up with 28 somehow. This is the BIF where new BAs and old BAs are all equal...

    Here is the criteria that must be followed...
    ~ 75 oz minimum
    ~ Beers must be listed on Beer Advocate as a....
    American Wild Ale
    Flanders Oud Bruin
    Flanders Red
    Gueuze
    Lambic - Fruit
    Lambic - Unblended
    ...or a WANT of the target (any style, any rating)
    ~ There are zero exceptions to the required beers listed above
    ~ Beers must have a minimum rating on Beer Advocate of an 85 or higher...or...a rDev of 3.80 for beers with less than 10 ratings

    Let the bitter fun begin....

    Hint #1:
    My target lives in a state where it is illegal to stand around any building with a good reason to be there.
    My target lives in a state where Oral Sex is prohibited.
    My target lives in a state where a person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head.

    What fucking crazy state doesn't allow you to leave with a duck on your head...

    My targets wants list contains zero beers I have and is quite difficult. Looks like I'll be swinging some trades and shipping towards the end of the window.

    Hint# 1: Google maps says it would take me over 800 hours to walk to my target. The trek would take my through one of the Great Lakes.

    Google also has a warning:

    Use caution – This route may be missing sidewalks or pedestrian paths. :astonished:

    I have shipped to my target's state many of times, mainly because my trader is a vagabond.

    Hint#1 - My target has a lot of the same wants I do and consist of beers I have almost no access to. Hopefully sours from Belgian breweries whom do not need to be named will suffice. I also hate my target's state.

    For my sender: Note that I do not live in the states and the address is an intermediary. Also, my wants are my really big wants and I am not picky.

    Well if you are a tiny little fucker you may be referring to me

    My target lives in a state that I have never shipped to. Upon first glance at my targets wants, I should be able to hit a couple sour wants.

    To my sender, as it pertains to "American Wild Ales," I tend to enjoy something sour rather than just something funky with little or no tartness. Although I am basically open to trying any good beer, that I can't get in NY/MA.

    I've been to my target's state once and spent time in a town that Glenn Campbell sang about. Yes, I'm dating myself. I have no sours and no ready access to sours on his wants l but tons of other wants so he'll get highly regarded sours and a bunch of his wants.

    To my sender, if you can't get sours on my wants, just get some good ones for me please.

    My target is in the upper half of the states. It seems like most of his wants are gonna get destroyed but not many of them are sour. Will be making an into to sour beers mixed in with the wants.

    Sadly my wants can be hard for my sender but check seek a brew and if its not available in my state I probably want it. But sour and barrel beers are my favorite styles. The more tart the better.

    If this Bif turns out like my last trade you can expect a 40lbs box or larger.

    Oral sex is outlawed in my targets state. It is also illegal to be aroused in public. Poor bastard

    I'm not sure if I will be able to hit any of my targets sour wants, but I'll send some awesome out of distro sours and possibly hit some non-sour wants. Either way I'm planning to get my target in trouble with the law, since I'm sure he will be aroused by the porch fucking he will receive.

    Dovetailing that comment, I will say that it is illegal to smoke marijuana while doing one or any combination of the violations above in my targets home state. Doing all 4 at once.......well........men hang been hung for less.
