    I picked up four sours for my target yesterday. I would have picked up the three sisters, but my target gets distribution from Goose Island.

    Seek a brew usually screws me hard. They say we get it but many things are supposed to be in state but they don't ever make it. Like much of the cool stuff from goose island, cigar city, jolly pumpkin, anything from shelton brothers.

    To my sender: I updated my wants a bit. I know most of them are hard to get so don't knock yourself out but I llike funky, sour saisons also.

    Hint: my target lives in the state in which I was born. It is also the state in which my dad and two siblings went to college.

    Hint #3 Shopping for my target is proving to be bit more difficult than I envisioned as they have a very extensive sours collection.

    I will be able to hit at least one sour want and one non-sour want, both 750mL bottles. I'll need to complete the sour requirements with some Belgians not on their haves list

    My target lives in a state that I will be visiting later this year.

    To my sender I prefer enamel ripping sour things or things with subtle tartness. Do not like funk only non-sour things such as Fantome,etc.

    my target updated his wants and took off a beer I was going to send. I might still do it because it is amazing and you can never have enough of this beer. I will fill a six'er and ship within the next day or two. I will have a tshirt in the box, and trust me, finding a good brewery shirt in his size is hard. I would know.

    It would take me about 5 & 1/2 hours to drive to my targets location to drop off his box. I'm lazy and I'm not going to do that, but last week I did take a ride northeast that took almost that long and picked up a bottle on my targets wants list.

    Final Hint: All the sours I will be sending to my target are wants, in fact the whole package will be wants. I am just waiting on 1 want that is an April seasonal release but hasnt hit shelves yet.

    Last hint. My state, and specifically my town is not conducive to awesome sours (oh how I loathe you south Central PA,), and since you didn't have many sours listed in your wants I put together some personal favorite sours with a few years age, a limited one time bottling, a bunch of your wants, and lastly some brewery swag. Enjoy! You should see it soon!

    Awesome how many of you are sending already! My target will have to wait until after my trip to Belgium, which hopefully benefit them at the expense of their porch.

    Hint#2: My target has the option to walk a few minutes to pick up great beer, something I'm insanely jealous of.
