First BIF completed

Well, I completed my first BIF. BIF stands for Beer It Forward. Basically a theme is set with some rules (minimum ounces, type of beers, etc..) and a set number of people sign up. This particular BIF was for Imperial Stouts. Though some non-stouts are thrown in, which is allowed. The originator of the BIF then assigns one person to another as their target. Typically they try to seperate geographically as far apart as possible so that people can get beer that they can't just go to the store and purchase. My guy did a pretty good job. In Georgia we don't have access to all but 4 of these beers below. Then you send your beer and everyone is happy! The person that had me was in Cali. I just got my box today, and this is what he sent me.

Swag: Typically people will throw in local swag as well.
