    It was just about a year ago that I started trading. Despite being a long-time vet of the forum, I never quite saw the appeal of trading. Now, I get it. Trading is awesome - I've drank some great beers, shared some favorites, and through it all dealt with a lot of great BA's. Trades are fun, BIFs are even better, and ultimately nothing tops free beer, so here's a LIF for all of you. This is part paying it back for winning Lat's music LIF a couple of months ago, and part thank you to everyone I've dealt with in the past year.

    The beer: Tomorrow I should be landing two cases worth of Bruery Reserve Society beers from my trusted (and very awesome) trustee. I'm blindly going to pick a random bottle for this LIF as I open the goods. Who knows what it will be, but Tay Zonday is saying there's a chance.

    There will be more in the box, of course. But the rest is for me to know and you to find out!


    How to win: Simple - I'm thinking of a lengthy word (more than 8 letters), a number from 1-1000, and an obscure beer (well under 100 reviews). Take a guess at all three, and the first to get any one of the three correct wins.

    Rules:
    - One guess per person until additional hints are added.
    - Lower 48 states only
    - You drink/share/open the beers in your presence
    - You must have some wants filled out (the new forums are creating a rash of traders with no wants)
    - You can be in the Reserve Society, but if you are, I'll find some other highlight replacement for you instead
    - You must do a LIF in the next couple of months
    - You should probably like sours, as that's most likely what you'll end up with just based on the odds, though the rest of the box will be catered to your likes…


    I'll plan on keeping this open until at least box opening time (roughly 24 hours from now, assuming Fedex is on track). Hints will get easier at that point if nobody has won yet…

    So here's to a great year of trading and a hearty cheers to many more! Now post your guesses!

    Parsimonious = characterized by or showing parsimony; frugal or stingy. (Something that this LIF would suggest that you are not.)
