    Round 4 is finally wrapping up so its on to round 5!

    just to catch folks up... here is how it works:
    http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/unwanted-whales-nbo.9868/

    This round... signups will be open until at least August 5th at noon EST

    All signup info is here:
    http://urbancaver.wordpress.com/unwanted-whales-bif-2/5-0/

    For this round you MUST have an address in the continental US.
    Also, you may submit sets or verticals of related whales as one bottle (ie. Roze and Blauw together, or Kaggen and Stormaktsporter together)
    Insta-whales are acceptable and highly encouraged.

    Once you've signed up it could be as long as 2 weeks before I confirm your submission. Just because you submit does not mean you are accepted.


    “shelf” or “non-one off cantillon/3F must be at least 10 years old to qualify
    King Henry is a good markers of the “lowest” bottles I will accept. This does not mean it will be accepted but certainly nothing "lower" will be accepted. This is simply a guideline for the rarity that will be in this BIF.
    Please do not message me about submissions. Post in this thread if you have questions/comments :slight_smile:

    Let the signups begin!

    I was joking about it being flat... I am not 100% sure but I don't thing Shogo was joking with his pictures of the barrels. I also think I heard that they were blending another batch of this a while back. It would not be the first or last time tender was full it!

    Cam it will be cool if you update us on the list being sour or stout heavy so we can maybe help balance it a bit with our offerings.
