Targets are all sent out, any questions let me know. Please BM me your address and phone number so I can send that to your shipper.

You can refer to the sign-up thread here for your target's info!
Shipping deadline is Wednesday April 16th, which should give everyone ample time to acquire enough ammo to demolish their target.


The Rules (once again):

1.) 4 glass minimum.
- MUST be stemware including mini-snifters unless specifically stated on wants sheet of recipient. Any questions about qualifying glassware must be asked before shipment.
- Must be brewery/brewpub-related, with preference to locals, or target's "wants list."

2.) 6 glass maximum.
- Glasses 5-6 can be non-brewery, but still beer-related, e.g. beer bars, beer shops, etc.
- Non-stems and shaker pints are allowable if necessary for glasses 5-6, but not encouraged. (*Some people do not collect shakers, and if they specify this on their wants list, please honor that.)

3.) Two of the glasses must be related. New wrinkle for this round. 2 of the glasses you send to your target must be “related”. This could mean that they are from the same brewery, are the same glass from different breweries (e.g. tekus, Rastal Luttich, etc.), the same glass from different years (e.g. Darkness 2011 and 2012) or other thematic glasses, such as Duvel glasses, mini snifters, etc. Again any questions of qualifying glasses need to be asked prior to shipment.

4.) One piece of swag: swag is defined as brewery/beer-related apparel (shirt, hat, etc.), signs/tackers, tap handles, etc. This is generally an item in the $10-30 range (could be more, shouldn't be less).
- If target does not specify t-shirt size on the sign-up sheet, that means he/she prefers something other than a shirt (i.e. don't guess on shirt sizes).

5.) One minimum glass-related beer, food item, or condiment.
- You must send one beer or otherwise consumable item (non-perishable, of course) that is related to a glass that's in your box (no macros!)

6.) Three beers (or one growler) maximum.
- Please don't send more than 3 beers (that is, max total 3 beers and/or consumables) or one growler in your box. Not 2 beers and 1 growler, if you want to ship a growler, that is the maximum.
- Beers 2-3 do not have to be related to the glassware in your box.

7.) Other non-glass/beer extras are at sender's discretion (no minimum or maximum): coasters, bottle openers, koozies, stickers, misc.


Please be patient with me as it is my first time running this.
Any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask. This is a fun BIF, and I want everyone to get an amazing haul. HOLLA!!!
 
Heh heh heh. Already have one (possibly more) want for my target that is not listed on my glassware haves.

I've got a few nice glasses that my target doesn't even know he wants. He's got a small list of gots (compared to mine) so he should be very happy with what I send. Going to get a few nice locals and some fresh growlers and I'll be set to ship.
 
I actually have some solid glasses for my target, stoked for this round!
 
My target is South of me.

As a side note, I need to get my Gots updated and will try to get that done by the end of the weekend.
 
A top 5 player in the nba grew up in The state of my target. Already have 1 want in hand as I type this
 
Well, the wife had our baby on Tuesday!
But I'm still geared up for the BIF. I have dealt with my target in the past in some capacity, and I've driven around his area more than once. I'm sure I can do some considerable damage this round.
 
Hint: my target has equal to or more letters in his city name than my city name.
 
I'll tell ya what, this was way more difficult finding a solid target for each person than I thought. But I think everyone is matched up very well, stoked to start seeing hauls!
 
This is great...I have all the glass and beer I need for this BIF "in stock" in my cellar. Took me 5 minutes to put it together; every glass is a want, and every beer will be properable. Thanks Steebo, you done good! Just waiting on some swag in the mail that might take a week or so, and I (or rather my target) will be set. I might change out a glass or a beer in that time bracket, but this looks pretty damn solid to me.
 
updated my wants to hopefully help my sender, my target is someone I've never traded with before in any capacity but from a state I've traded to many times
 
To the person who has me as a target - I just got back from an awesome beercation, hopefully I didn't pick anything up you planned on sending me. Please see my updated gots list.

My target has a pretty impressive gots list.
 
Just updated my wants/gots for this round, sorry if it's a little late, just getting back in town.

Hint: My target has more glass than I do.
 
I am shipping east. Going to have lots of local-type glasses that my target does not have and I may be shipping after the deadline. Heading on a beer trip at the end of April...
