"Ahhhh-Ah-ah-Ah-ahhhh! Wah-wa-wahh!"
The Man With No Name walks into the saloon, spurs going "ka-chink, ka-chink." He looks around at a group of some of the best traders this side of the Mississippi. And on the other side for that matter. He squints his eyes and lights a cigar.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friends: Those who drink good beer and those who drink ugly beer," he announces to the room.
It's The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly BIF. This is supposed to be a small but fun BIF. 3 beer minimum with the idea that in order to appreciate really good beer, every once in a while you need to try some really ugly beer to keep things in perspective.
The Good: a high quality beer, preferably from your receiver's wants
The Bad: Wild card beer. Could be bad as in "bad ass" or just plain bad.
The Ugly: something you would only drink on a dare. The rule is you can't send an ugly unless you have reviewed it yourself, and no repeats. It would be no fun to have Bud Light go around and round. And who knows. Someone's Ugly may be another person's Good.
39 Traders With No Name have agreed to join up with this invite only BIF. We have a great group of cowboys, gunslingers, cattle rustlers, hombres, rodeo clowns, and even a few Mounties joining us on this wagon train.

We now have two legs to this BIF, pardners! It's a race to see who can find the treasure of the Ugliest beer
Same rules still apply, no repeats on the ugly. So be aware of who has possession. When you get a shipment you get to choose who is next on your team. beermail me if you have any questions on who to send to.
Remember, the whole point is to have a journey of appreciation. To better appreciate the Good, we have to experience the Ugly
Giddy-up!
