    After getting my box bombarded with people wanting BCBS Coffee or Cherry Im gonna open this into a LIF kind of trade. Here is my original post:

    I dont want this to come across as an auction or looking to win a trade but I came across some BCBS in Cherry($17) and Coffee($13) I dont really know what I want but wouldnt mind getting something $4$ from someone that doesnt have access to it. You can see my wants, and there probably is some stuff that I dont have listed that you may think I want. Really, Im just bored and snowed in and would mind setting up a trade.

    So what Im going to do is open this up to a why should I do this trade with you, which will close Monday 4PM and judged by my wife. So tell my wife why she should pick you, it can be a quick story, a pic/meme or just entertain her. Winner will get in the mail a BCBS Coffee or Cherry or both, in return just send me what you think is fair in return/what you think I would like. If you are chose, you can choose just 1 or both. I may be able to get 2 of each if interested, let me know.

    Your wife should pick me because I am a New York City (NYPD) police officer and I always miss out on the BCBS variants when the very small number hits the shelves in NYC. Your wife would be taking care of New York's Finest which is a good thing because we protect the world's greatest city!

    I was going to tell you some bullshit about BCBS variants being my wife's favorite, but I cannot lie because my wife hates beer and is a wino. I have let her sample just about every beer in the country and the only one that she can remotely tolerate is New Glarus Raspberry Tart, reason is it barely tastes like beer at all. It's very annoying! However, at least she likes to go to beer releases with me.

    This is a nice thing you are doing and get prepared to be bombarded w/ a bunch of bullshit stories and pictures of BAs dogs/cats drinking BCBS variants. Hopefully she watches NYPD Blue! Cheers!

    Especially in Brooklyn on the 4 to 12 shift, 20+ jobs a night! Makes you really want to throw down some brew when you get home.

    Well it's at least not Brooklyn North, but Brooklyn is Brooklyn even in the South.

    North BK can be tough but so can Coney, Canarsie, ENY, etc. Thanks for keeping the city safe my friend.

    I am in the Coney Island Area. It's a shame because Canarsie and Coney Island at one time were both fantastic neighborhoods, but not since like the 1950s/1960s. Thanks for the support doing our best to keep Brooklyn South in check!

    I know. I still enjoy going to Coney during the summer but don't make the trip to Canarise. Stay safe - I'd share a BCBS with ya anytime...

    Between the 3 kids, wife, and work getting people together to drink some of the rare brew I have in house is tough, and I don't like to break open rare large format bottles without BA buddies present to enjoy them with me. However, next tasting I have w/ some good BAs like Capra12 and SpeedwayJim that is long overdue you are pre-invited to.

    Hey C.J., I think your wife should pick me for the BCBS Coffee. My wife and I live in Louisiana, and have access to very few craft breweries. In December we took an anniversary trip to Chicago, it was our first time to visit that great city. While we were there we visited Goose Island and shared some great beer. We even managed to find a bottle of BCBS Coffee at one of the Binny's. Since it was a rare find for us we decided to bring the bottle home with us and save it for our next anniversary. About a week ago the bottle that i had stored in our pantry popped. I posted a thread about it and the consensus was the glass must have been bad, then the tread was removed. I stilll don't know why the thread was removed. I contacted Goose Island and sent them the pics of the broken bottle, and they offered to refund my money since they couldn't send another bottle. So I would love to surprise her with a bottle to replace the one we lost. Thanks for considering us!

    Personally I think you should pick Mikey cause he is one of the most generous BA's you will meet, and one of the funnest guys to party with. And that job he has keeps all the folks who are foolish enough to live in the big city, and those like me who visit, safe, so there is that too:stuck_out_tongue:

    I feel I deserve it because I need something special for my graduation in May from Arizona State University. Starting the first day of my life as a college graduate would be special with a cherry rye to share with teh family before the ceremony!

    Cheers!

    You should pick me first and foremost because I'm humble. In addition, I'm tall, smart, funny, attractive, wealthy, in excellent shape, well educated, well endowed, and well versed. Plus, I'm as racist as the day is long; and I will guarantee this bottle won't be shared with any goddamn Norwegians.
