    Hint #3 None of my target's wants are local to me. But I might be able to snag one or two wants as extras.

    Just outside the city, northern suburbs. I'm guessing you were thinking of Brew Works? I love that place but it's about an hour away so not going there. I added the "not absurd notoriety" to eliminate Tired Hands, I won't be going there today either... my plan is to hit Forest & Main for a late lunch.

    Hint #1 Shipping East
    Hint #2 Shipping North
    Hint #3 Shipping to a state that shares a land and/or water border with Canada

    Nice was able to check off 3 wants without leaving the house.

    I saw Canada and thought "oh, this can't be me" ... then I realized that Lake Erie is a shared water border.... damn your vague hints!

    So you're like Bensalem-ish?

    Actually I thought F&M, but I think you might be shortchanging them, LOL.

    In Lehigh, I'd have guessed Free Will or Brew Works, though

    I got my sender... pretty sure at least... until he proves me wrong I am pretty sure I am the only one who fits his clues.

    Hint 2 - I've shipped beer to two of you in the last few weeks. Neither of you is my target.

    I am down to 5 potential senders. CA, FL, MN, OH, and NJ are represented. Of these I feel like its between 2.

    hint #1 - Sweet Baby Jesus
    hint #2 - none of my targets wants are 'locals' of mine. that being said 2 (maybe 3) wants will be ticked as extras
    hint #3 - this box will be headed westward
    hint #4 - if I ship on Tuesday you will be drinking these beers by Friday
    hint #5 - targets avatar is NOT a person

    Actually a bit west of Bensalem, Ft Washington area.

    I don't know if I'm short changing F&M, I just meant that they don't have quite the draw of TH in trades.

    Mark you off

    And mark you off

    I have 7 possible left. 3 I feel, due to location are not it which leaves 4. Of those 4, 3 are frontrunners with my first guess still being on the board and the other one remaining because they have yet to give a single hint

    to my sender - ship whenever you want, but I am hosting my tasting group on the 16th. If it comes before then I will be sharing this haul with some proper BAs for sure!

    To my sender I am more of a night owl so that is good.

    To my number two possible sender. I already have Devine Reserve 6-12 just FYI

    Also, just finished packing, I'll be shipping slightly over the max. :slight_smile:
