    Oi, fell off the wagon throwing hints out, derp. Me and conversions dont do so good, so best I can tell I'm sending over 200oz in a converted styro to someone in a state with no less than 6 professional teams spread between 5 major league sports.

    Further, this city was in contention to host the olympics, and is under consideration once again.

    With those hints as well as my previous, a diligent biffer could probably figure out if I'm sending to them. To add some motivation, the lowest scoring beer ranks at 90. There is one beer ranked at 100.

    Lowest rAvg is 4.02, highest is 4.54.

    Dearest target, if you figure out who you are, please consider calling your tasting group for an emergency meeting. Or bring your big boy panties and be ready to get your drink on.

    Thanks a ton man, really interested in trying these out.

    Not to steal StoutSeth's thunder for putting together an awesome box, but as I'm putting together the finishing pieces of tape for the outgoing box a last little morsel to my target. The first big meme started off of a character from my target's home state.

    Thanks again for a great box StoutSeth

    I'm glad you're happy with everything, and because you seemed to have a generally similar style preference to me I had a lot of fun compiling some of my favorites. It looks like you're starting to stockpile some Noble Rot there with the one in the background you probably got in a trade haha

    189 oz of great beers started their journey north this afternoon towards a suburb outside of the capital city to a state that also encompasses the "the city that never sleeps". Hopefully the package will make it to your doorstep Friday....................Godspeed (You Black Emperor).

    Got my bottles all cozy in their box and then realized....I forgot to pack the swag :flushed: So, my target will be getting 2 boxes: one at around 25lbs, another just over 1lb :grinning:

    I know I'm cutting it close, but my line-up underwent some minor changes (hint hint) just before packing. As of right now, labels are on the boxes and will be dropped off at Fedex bright and early tomorrow morn.

    Correction: Fedex says it will now be there Thursday. Someone with two men and a puppet in their avatar needs to be ready!

    Sorry to all the people who have commented since my last post, you are not my target.

    If you happen to open a box on Friday and get frustrated that the jerkoff who went and won the BiF forgot to include a note with his BA handle on it, my apologies.

    Well, one more to cross off my list of potential senders. The list keeps getting smaller and smaller.
