    Hint 1: I will be shipping NE of me to someone I haven't shipped to before.
    Hint 2: I recently shipped to this state in another BIF.
    Hint 3: It is safe to say my target posts regularly in this thread.
    Hint 4: My recipient will be recieving at least 1 howler, and also at least 1 homebrewed Berliner.
    Hint 5: My targets username is shorter than mine.
    Hint 6: I have never been to my targets state before.
    Hint 7: My targets state begins with a consonant.
    Hint 8: I can now say my target will be receiving more than 1 howler for sure. Some nice things I will be able to get in Houston that I can't get in Dallas.
    Hint 9: If you divide my states square miles by my the square miles of my targets state and round it off, that is also my targets state ranking in largest states in the US.
    Hint 10: Only able to get one of the beers I wanted in Houston, but was able to sample an IPA from a local brewery and picked up a bottle of that for my target.
    Hint 11: Cattle branding originated in my targets state.
    Hint 12: My box will be going out Thursday or Friday. You have a want that is from a brewery very local to me. I got a growler fill for you, and then yesterday the bottles hit stores, I didn't know they were bottling this beer. Since you seem to know who you are, this is a beer that can be aged, would you want just the 32 ounce growler, or the growler and a bottle to age?
    Hint 13: The first box will be going out tomorrow. There will be a second box, but it will need to wait until after I make my Memorial Day trip down to Jester King!

    so i watched @ColdOne's video and was very impressed with the overall production. then i watched @TheBeerAlmanac's video the first time, and thought there was no way i could win. then, i watched it again with my wife, and she also said there is no way we could do something funnier than that. so i knew it wasnt in the cards, but i felt like i had to submit one anyway.

    Your posted want list was tough so I went with some great local brewery only releases that I've enjoyed. I'm glad you are happy. Enjoy!!

    I don't know what is going on in this thread, but I see lots and lots of beer ****, and with 300 pages there's no way this is just a BIF anymore... is there a way I can join in this fun?

    Few things. Study the thread. Learn about SBJ and peanut butter on mare chested men. Stuff & Things. Baby Announcements. New houses. POOP. Unicorns. Mung Jumping.

    Round 2 of the BIF ends next week but BIF in a Box is nearly over and signups for round 2 are coming soon. You're more than welcome to get in on that.
