    Just got the Dreaded call from fedex. One of the bottle in one of my boxes broke and they won't put the box back on the truck. Said my Target can go pick it up if he wants but I can't seem to get a hold of him now. Anyone know Hastur23, let him know to get on BA and check his BM box. Thanks.


    Worried as hell about box number 2 now. Shit

    Where in PA is it?
    If you can't get ahold of him and it's near me I could pick it up and meet him later.

    Not exactly convenient, but I'll be within about 30 miles of there tomorrow afternoon on the way to the shore.
    If you don't hear back from him and want me to help, let me know by about noon (eastern time) tomorrow.

    Just got off a long night of work and figured I'd open my box from drbenzo before I settled in for a much needed nap.

    All I can say is I have had fun watching all of you get killer boxes and been impressed with some of the stuff people are sending/receiving....But, I can honestly say that the box that I just busted open has all of them beat.

    I am utterly speechless, so I am going to let the pictures do the talking......

    The damage:
    Alpine Duet
    Alpine Nelson
    Alpine Pure Hoppiness (can't wait to try these Alpine's - defenantly have wanted to try their stuff)
    HoD Fred (had Adam and loved it, can't wait for this one)
    RR Pliney the Elder (MAJOR want - will be first beer of the weekend tomorrow)
    Stone w00tstout (another want!!!!)
    Alesmith Speedway Stout (this guys is just knocking it out of the park with my wants)
    Lost Abby Angel's Share (YES!!!)
    Hanger 24 Palmero (never heard of this one, but sounds good, can't wait to try it)
    Firestone Walker Parabola (seriously?!?!? another one of my big wants to cross off)
    Fifty Fifty Eclipse (old Fitzgerald) (ok, screw it, rest of the day I'm redoing my want list because at this point I have crossed of the majority of it with just this box)
    Cascade Strawberry (awesome - apricot, blueberry, and Kriek both me and the wife have loved - can't wait to split this one with her)


    Dude, words escape me. I LOVE this box - you killed it. I am forever indebted. I am still beside myself. Too amped to sleep now....screw it who need sleep, I got beer to drink!!!!!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    Hint 1: My targets will be getting a beer that's name puns on a Jock Jam. Although this beer has seemingly disappeared from the wants list from which its inception came.
    Hint 2: It would take two and a half weeks to walk to either of my targets. But probably a little longer because of the sled full of beer I'd be pulling.
    Hint 3: One, if not both, of my targets did not give their home addresses for shipping. It's hard to tell on Google Earth for one target.
    Hint 4: Apologies in advance to both targets for not being to hit more than 2 or 3 exact wants :slight_frown:, but a lot of similar styles and fine-ass locals are coming their way! These include 2 BA brews each and many beers the Bros thought were better than the masses did.
    Hint 5: Beer for both targets will be delivered to the same state to locations only about 80 miles from each other. Driving between them during rush hour could potentially be quicker if you instead went through a bordering state.
    Hint 6: Made a trip over to 'Sconny today and got wants for each target from an indigenous favorite.
    Hint 7: To reuse some hints from the n00b BIF but for different beers, both targets are getting something from a brewery that's just one dude and one target is getting a beer that would make Dr. Timothy Leary proud.
    Hint 8: I'm shipping a tad late partly because I'm waiting for a local beer to be released but also because the berries I need to make the syrup that accompanies this beer style are not quite ripe yet.
    Hint 9: Beer hint: aside from a Jock Jam pun, my targets will each get some anger, a nickname for my state, a lucky number, an Aryan donut, a song between Dom DeLuise and a mouse, and a protagonist with few heroic virtues or qualities.
    Hint 10: Both of my targets have shipped their boxes already. Only one has not yet been received.
