SWTFYW Hints and Hauls!!!

I'm always terrible at guessing my sender. Never have even come close. Today is no different. Haha

 

I need to get serious about my hints and guessing. Sweet jebus there are some exciting boxes out there!

My cellar is just budding, but I am aiming for a solid 300oz of beer that are all wants or not distributed to my target's state.

 

Ok, so today turned from "pack the things that I want at celler/room temp" day into "pack the whole box up" day.

Step 1: have supplies (not pictured: 1-gal bags, rubber bands, beer)


Step 2: Make an impregnable fortress of beer transportation (vulnerable to forklifts and some very strong gorillas)


Step 3: Fill it up with beer (and an extra)!


Final totals:
14 containers, 7 "hoppy" or "fresh" selections, 7 "less fresh" or "age friendly" choices
4 things that have extra age due to languishing in various barrels
1 beer that I could not find on BA despite being made by a brewery whose things I could find on BA
1 beer that does not yet have a photo on BA (I packed it before I realized this)

234.9oz, 27.5 pounds, 95.7 rating average (100, 100, 99, 97, 97, 97, 96, 95, 95, 95, 93, 91, 90, ?)
12 selections featuring some of CA's finest, two selections not brewed in CA.
Sadly, only one "want."

Hint 1: My target did not post in this thread prior to my first post in this thread.
Hint 2: I will be shipping to the north of the Mason-Dixon line (if it extended indefinitely).
Hint 3: My target will be happy to receive a bomber of Bear Republic Cafe Racer, even though I do not see it listed as a "want" on his BA profile.
Hint 4: Today I visited a local brewery that delivers one of its brews exclusively by bicycle to keep that beer local to the town. If they were instead located on a street with the same name nearest you, you'd be able to have this beer delivered to you at home.
Hint 5: My target has some sort of voodoo skills for acquiring out-of-distribution beer (even ones just released), and I've been made aware of the fact that he has about half of what I was planning to send already in his possession (if the internet does not lie).
Hint 6: My target's state has as many people in this BIF as my state (based on the awkward 66-person list that may have up to two inaccuracies).

Hint 7: This box should take 4 days to arrive by FedEx ground.

 

Hints! Hints!

This will be the farthest I have ever shipped for a BIF or a trade.
My box has ended up with North of 350 oz. of good to great beer.
According to Google, and that's never wrong, I could bike my box to my target in just over 400 hours. I guess Google doesn't know I'm a fat ass.
I almost took a job in my target's state when I graduated. The sign on bonus was insane.

I've got more, but you really should know by now.

 

that is some sick packing!!!

 

ISO this packing job

 

[/QUOTE]Step 2: Make an impregnable fortress of beer transportation (vulnerable to forklifts and some very strong gorillas)

Judging by the condition I've seen some boxes show up, I'm pretty sure some parcel delivery services allow gorillas to drive the forklifts. "Fragile" seems to be taken as a challenge.
But that is an awesome packing job.

 

I need to figure out the other stuff I am sending. For sure hitting a bunch of wants though.

 

Wow, I can still only narrow it down to 14 potential senders... But I'm pretty sure I know who will be shipping an awesome-sounding box my way.

Hint #9: I'll be shipping a box to my Target on Monday, and it will travel MORE than one timezone away

 

so my targets boxes are all packed up and ready to go. details below:
14 locals (1 of which is a hot pepper dipa homebrewed by a friend) and 12 non-locals.

• 12 local bottles = 144oz
• 2 local bombers = 44oz
• 12 non local bottles = 144ox
• 1 piece of swag (+2 coasters that dont count i know)
• total of 26 beers and 332 ounces of want(s) and style(s) of preference

the locals have a philly/pa flavor and the non locals average a 91.
im not giving any more hints as i like the suspense!

 

Hint #1 - Shipping West
Hint #2 - Shipping to a state that has less letters in it than my state
Hint #3 - Shipping to a different time zone than mine.
Hint #4 - At least 1 President has been born in my targets state.
Hint #5 - My target does not have a beer themed profile picture.


Will most likely be sending package out on Monday or Tuesday depending on my on call schedule.

 

Hint: In my lifetime, sports teams in my target's city have won more championships than my home teams. You might not think this is a fair comparison because they have an extra team, but that really doesn't enter into it.

 

I wish it were me...but alas, I'm pretty sure I was out earlier..

 

Hope its ME

 

Damn... its going to Mass, isn't it?

 

Looks like it's going to the moon.

 

A truck left Wyoming, MI at 635am. You should hear a thud soon.

 

MA is usually a 5-day ship from California. But FedEx has done it in 4. My vote is something like PA or NY.

 

**** today!!!

 

Hint 1: I am shipping east​

Hint 2: My target HAS STILL NOT POSTED IN THIS THREAD - STILL...as of 8/07 at 9:12AM!!!!​

Hint 3: My targets state had at least one player suspended (pending appeals of course) from its professional baseball team yesterday​

Hint 4: It appears that your planning borad meeting was cancelled last month.​

Hint 5: The first international sports hero born in my targets state was born in 1763.​

Hint 6: Although I can only hit 3 of my targets wants, I will still hit about 7-8 percent of all of thier wants.​

Hint 7: My target has a beer related avatar.​

​

Also, to my target...you are sitting at 380ish oz of beer at this time. I am contemplating adding a growler of super fresh local IPA goodness as well if I can get out there and get it all boxed up in time. That would put you at 440ish oxz.​

​

To my sender...either you have not posted in here yet or I missed some clues. I still have 25 people on my list as possibilities. More hints please!!!!​
