    Damn I wish that was heading to me, but I posted twice before one of your hints about your target hasn't posted yet....

    The box is on its way via FedEx. I don't think I forgot anything, although I would have liked to have better "swag" to send. I think I made up for it with some of the beers, though. I hope I did, at least... you'll be the judge of that.

    Sender: I asked today at my local FedEx drop-off point (El Cerrito) if they would hold packages there, and they will... if you could request holding there, that would be great. If you're using UPS, holding at the nearest location there is also quite fine -- I just don't know off-hand where that is. :wink:

    Excited to see this beer **** start rolling in -- that first box looks pretty tasty. :slight_smile:

    Just got done packing up a 45 lb box that will be heading out on Monday. If my target is really the person in their avatar then they should have no trouble picking up 45 lbs. If not, I suggest a team lift.

    Just picked up the last of the beers for my target.

    My friend at the bottle shop said, "why don't you just come in back and pick out whatever you want!"

    I hope my target will enjoy all of the BA Firestones that were released this year.

    If you are in FW distro I am not your sender.

    Hint #7: My target's avatar is not a photograph
    Hint #8: Based on the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow (European of course since African are non-migratory), it would take said swallow approximately 29.24 hours to reach you. Much longer if laden with beer. Or coconuts.

    I am spending my weekend packing a gigantic box that may cause a hernia for anyone trying to lift it.

    Previous hints:
    #1: My target lives to the east and south
    #2: His/Her state has some nice beaches, or so I've heard
    #3: My target has posted in here well before me
    #4: My target's state and my state share the same state beverage: milk (and coffee milk doesn't count. I'm looking at you Rhode Island)

    #5: At least part of my target's state's name could be used as a person't name also (not including stupid Kanye's kid name North)
    #6: My target's wants are lacking in specific beers from my neck of the woods. But I will be able to hit a lot of his/her style wants or styles he/she should want

    I picked up some cheesy fruit-flavored stuff for my target this morning. If you don't like 'em, then TS. They're highly rated here. :wink: I do apologize that I can't ship you this morning's new release, but the shelf sour I picked up ... Fucking delicious. You'll get that. If you don't like sours, well ... You get the picture. I'm SWTFIW.

    Just finished packing two boxes to go out Monday. A whopping 582oz. Target, you got only one want (but I did manage to get you a 4 pack). You got a shit-ton of STL and Missouri beers, some in your favorite styles and some just to expand your palette. Of course, I had to throw in a few others from around the states and the world, again in your favorite styles and mine.
    Another hint: the bonus (non-beer) material that you are guaranteed to use every day until it is gone will separate you from the other 2 possible targets in Pennsylvania. They likely would find no use for it.

    Target: I spaced picking up some swag for you when I hit the brewery after work. Guess ill have to go back tomorrow. I managed to get everything in one box, but I needed some eggs so hit the store on the way home and ended up with 4 more bombers to send. Oops.

    I hope no beer is flavored like "cheesy fruit" although I don't know what sort of things they let them get away with in Wisconsin... (and the one New Glarus beer I've had was delicious, so I'll stay open-minded about cheesy fruit until I learn that I don't actually like it, I guess)

    Nice 2009 Ten Fidy!

    REALLY excited to hear that '10 is drinking well, because I just picked up a '10 Ten Fidy from a regular trading partner as part of his cellar cleaning. Stoked to side-by-side it with a '12, but I'll definitely have to start setting these back if I like what they do. :slight_smile:
