Beer Advocate Secret Bunny '08

-Minimum of 150 ounces of beer and 1 piece of glassware
---Minimum of 48 ounces must be ''session' brews to keep things light in the spirit of springtime.
---I'm going to define 'session' brew as 7% ABV or less for the purposes of this BIF.
-Bonus points for added Easter candy, cards, and photos(to make this feel more personal).
