    My targets box is shipping on Monday via FedEx.
    To my sender: I enjoy Monday shipping and FedEx if possible. If that means the 19th I could live with that.

    Me too, the probable ones aren't where I'm not accounting for any as yet non-poster throwing out a first hint that changes my whole perspective.

    I've got it down to 17 senders potentially shipping my way (including the non-posters) - TWO solid guesses within that pack, but looking forward to more clues. Whoever you are, definitely craving some BA stouts, tasty sours, and other locals goodness. Can't wait.

    To my Target: Planning to ship Monday (8/12) - Hope you're ready

    I didn't put a ton of effort in trying to figure out my sender, but of everybody who's posted there are maybe a small handful that I could not cross off the potential sender list.

    I'm packing up this weekend and will ship out on Monday

    Every time I go over what I'm sending my target, I shuffle some things around and/or add another beer to the box. Now standing at ~359.4 ounces of bottled beer; I should be surpassing the 400 oz mark with the growler(s) I plan on getting in a few days. I'm looking to ship out Monday!

    Hint #1 - Shipping west!
    Hint #2 - My target has less posts and less likes than I do.
    Hint #3 - My target lives in a city with a larger square mileage than my city.
    Hint #4 - My target does not have any numbers in his/her BA username.
    Hint #5 - I have traded with someone who lives in my target's state before.
    Hint #6 - http://snd.sc/16YXcVx
    Hint #7 - Medical marijuana is legal in my target's state.

    As for my sender, I am now down to 13 possibles - 4 of which haven't posted on this thread. I realise that I may have taken a gamble with some the eliminations I made, but hey, drastic times call for drastic measures :wink:. I have one person left that I believe to be the favourite, but like I said, 4 of my possible 13 still haven't posted and I can't rule out the other 8 that have, either.

    This BIF is taking up too much of my time, damnit Cuzco...

    So today while looking for local delicious shelf turds for my target, I came across the new divisive Backstage release from Founders. This being a divisive beer of a brewery that gets distro in my target's state, I am wondering if my target would like one, as I bought 2 of them. So target, would you like one of these beers? And by the way, I also bought around another 100 oz for you. You're welcome.

    Hint #1: my box is going West & South
    Hint #2: My target is to the west and south of Wolverine country
    Hint #3: mines posted as well
    Hint #4: This person has been a member longer than I
    HInt #5: According to online sources..If I were to ride a bicycle from my house to yours, taking a 12 hour break for every 170 miles I ride, going 14 mph, it would take me approx 10.5 days to reach your house
    Hint #6: My target has less "wants" "hads" and gots than me
    O my lucky target - I picked up another 12.7 oz for you today.....( I kid )

    to my sender: Hi again

    p.s. If my sender reads this - can you reach out to someone here and have them ask me my work address - wouldnt mind it being sent there so its not baking on my porch.

    Just back from the store to pick up a very fresh beer and a very not fresh beer for my target. The fresh beer is named after a man born in 23 A.D. and was bottled less than a week ago; the very not fresh one spent over a year with some local plant matter inside brandy barrels -- hopefully it still tastes okay. You can reasonably expect both to arrive next Thursday or Friday.

    edit: another hint from MMBrew:

    ok. slow day at work, so i've narrowed my senders down to 18, 4 of which haven't posted. I have a guess at who my sender is (and I really hope I'm right...) I've got it narrowed to maybe 6, although the 4 non-posters are a total wildcard.

    oh, and another hint: my target's state has a "c" in it...

    I will likely get the last few beers together tomorrow and ship Friday for parts unknown. I won't bother waiting until Monday 'cause this box is sitting over a weekend no matter when it leaves.

    I've narrowed my sender down to 1 of 19 people (including non-posters). I've got 1 in particular who I actually think it might be, the rest of the list was derived by process of elimination.

    I'm in the same situation. I'm leaning towards not sending it since most people here who wanted to try it have probably already jumped on it if it was released near them. Might as well throw another hint out...
    Hint 1: My target lives in a state bordering my own.
    Hint 2: My target shares a first name with one of the owners of a brewery that opened near me within the past year.
    Hint 3: A beer in my cellar is one of your preferred styles and its name has something in common with the name of your state.
    Hint 4: Although your Wants consist mainly of whales I'll never see in my life, some snooping uncovered that you'd like to try a style that a local brewery just released for the first time recently. You're getting one of those!
    Hint 5: The last time my favorite band played in your state was May 17, 2012. It was pretty close to your house.

    Here's a porch bomb getting ready to explode:
    [​IMG]

    331 ounces, average of 91.1, 7 wants (one of which is glassware) and almost everything else is a style want. I think my target is going to be very happy. This is definitely the biggest box I've ever packed, so he better be happy.
