    I have tried about 5 different Trillium products and am very impressed. Their Fort Point Pale Ale is one of the best APA's (best beers in general, actually) that I have ever had. But I'm not sure if either Trillium or Treehouse bottle much or how far they distribute.

    I've already got a good idea what I'm putting in your box, but now that you know for sure where your box is coming from, feel free to add some Philly-area wants and I'll see what I can do. I haven't started shopping yet, and before I go out I'll make sure to check if you've added any. Also, in case I can get anything in a growler, it'd be helpful if you tell me about any travel plans coming up or anything else that would prevent immediate consumption.

    Awesome, I'm glad to hear it's not all hype. To my probably-sender, I am very ok with growlers, especially if they're swingtop.

    Hint #1: I've spent a little bit of time in the target's home state as I grew up in a neighboring state. But I haven't been back in a while.
    Hint #2 - I've shipped beer to two of you in the last few weeks. Neither of you is my target.
    Hint #3 - I have been in another BIF with several of you in the last 3 months. My target is not one of these people.
    Hint #4 - Shipping to a state with all 4 pro sports teams represented.
    Hint #5 - Shipping to one of the 13 original colonies.
    Hint #6 - My target indicated they like IPAs and Sours. There are several of the former and 1 of the latter, an annual release from a well-known Minnesota brewery that just so happens to be in season and available now.

    Hint #7 - Target lives close to a popular east coast vacation spot frequented by more than one US President

    Box dropped off at Fedex this morning for delivery on Monday. It contained all beers brewed in Minnesota with the exception of one popular Iowa APA that I alluded to earlier.

    Sum Total:
    3 22oz bombers
    3 750's
    5 16oz cans
    5 12oz cans

    Would you care to tell us what kind of runner you are? If you run marathons this could be anywhere in the country, if you're like me this limits you to... um... your next door neighbor's house.

    So I will gladly suck down anything in a growler immediately. I have no plans for any kind of weekday travel any time in the near future. I'll poke around and see what I can do to update my wants but I honestly will be happy with anything... PA looks to have some pretty good things happening in their beer world and not much of it makes it up here... Tired Hands, Pizza Boy, Troegs all have great reputations and I've had nothing from any of them.

    Well google maps is telling me 3 hours and 50 minutes... so I guess that's not me, I can eliminate one more

    I'm confused. Doesn't 3 hours and 50 minutes qualify as about 4 hours?

    That's gotta either be a real slow flight or include a real long layover...
