I agree.

I'd hope to not do that to any one person. I think best would be a collaboration as well. We'll need approval from Eric also on this before anything really takes off since he does own the right to our logo I think.

Toss me a 5 or 10g agreed recipe for a RIS and I'm game.
Big stouts and big Belgians are my favorite cigar beers. I've been experimenting with both lately, just brewed a quad and a RIS in October. Both turned out fantastic, and will age well. Both started at 1.120. The RIS ended at 1.030ish, that was measured when racked to secondary. Had another 1.5" yeast cake settle before throwing in a keg to carbonate, so I suspect it dried out a bit but I dropped my hydrometer. Tastes fantastic. The quad got Belgian candi sugar additions of 1lb at 24hrs along with a one minute blast of oxygen. Then at 48hrs I threw in another pound of candi sugar no additional O2. Gravity as of yesterday was 1.020 still with medium high krausen (got a new hydrometer) suspect it will dry out quite a bit more. Haven't run the numbers but suspect this will be brutally strong when it's finished. Will need a good bit of age.

If this all is going to happen, first we need permission from Eric to use the trademark right?? And also, seems like we have it narrowed down to 3 or 4 varietys of beer. So do we make this a vote for 1 type? Or mix it up?

As @jolietilfire mentioned, this has been done a few times in the past (see the original here http://www.botl.org/threads/the-botl-obeer-project.57557 by @smokinghole @mthhurley @JRL ). I can provide each brewer with BOTL caps (with new design) and create/help someone draft a label.

Well it looks like @Eric is on board so now we just have to decide what to brew. Looks like most suggestions are for a darker and maltier style. I will create vote soon but want to let this thread linger out a little while before doing that so anyone else interested can jump in and make suggestions before we decide.
