    At this point, whether I'm your target or not, I think you're just screwing with me... from me to the SE corner of MN is 1,010 miles, so no matter where in MN you are, it's >1000. Still can't rule you out even though I'm still leaning toward poorpatz, and it could still be rspauldi too (1/6 the size of TX is most mid-size states depending on how accurate you're being, most places are N of TX and all 4 sports doesn't rule out many).


    Philly definitely does, it's never been the greatest location for locally brewed beer but we've always had absolutely incredible distribution; these days that balance is shifting dramatically (and not because distribution is anything less than superb)

    Pizza Boy is over 100 miles away and unlike Troegs, they don't distribute; I'm sorry to say their beer will not be in your box. I think I do already have a Troegs or two on my list, and can always throw in one more, but there's a different Philly area brewer who I plan to feature pretty heavily and I hope you enjoy.

    ps- Tired Hands only makes horrible awful beer that no one enjoys, so you will definitely not receive any. Or maybe you will as a gag. Or maybe you won't.

    pps- One more question for you, would you prefer extra beer, or less beer and some glassware (brewer non-specific for now)?

    Looks like that's out of Ft Wayne, IN with a layover. From Gary or Indianapolis it's about 2hrs direct.

    Hint #1: There will be an amphibian on the bottle of one of the beers.
    Hint #2: The state I'm sending to has a lower population than mine.
    Hint#3: The state's flag where my target lives has an animal on it.
    Hint#4: The name of my state and the name of your state have no common letters.
    Hint#5: Your state has at least one president call your state home
    Hint#6: You have a coastline
    Hint#7: You are in one of the original 13 colonies
    Hint#8: If you were singing the ABC song my state would come after yours.
    Hint#9: You should know if state is my target now. Until both of you like my post no more hints will be given.

    I'm down to like 5 I think, but my wife threw away my list so I'm going to have to regroup. The beer in on the move. I hit 5 wants only one of which is a local.

    Curious, I know a lot of people have started shipping, but has anyone received any beermail yet? I really want to start seeing some haul pics posted.

    For my target, you know who you are, I will be shipping Friday ~arriving Monday. Get excited for some awesome Illinois brew!

    Down to 4 of you, but if we go by the rule that you don't get an adjoining state I have 2 left.

    One of you have given a lot of clues, however may be ignoring that there are 2 teams that NFl from my state.

    So after combing back through this thread I have 3 potentials:

    @Poorpatz who is the last one I had left from my 1st list (after everyone was crossed off and then extra BIFers were revealed. @MCMASTERSANCHEZ's edit about shore lines I didnt catch the 1st time, and he does 'quote the Raven' (but says its a content hint) - super suspicious. @I_BYE_MI_BEER says his target doesnt have a lot of wants. I have 101. 'A lot' is a subjective term.

    Can someone just send @kgncfl a box already?!? I want to read one of his Haul posts!

    My target will feel a rumble on his porch on Saturday, so get your fleshlight and lube ready for the impending pornfest.

    Well today was productive. I eliminated a few potential senders. My list is now down to 5.

    To my target. I was loaded up with a certain style of beer to send your way and then saw that it was the style you preferred not to receive. No problem though, I just drank them and loaded your box with other tasty treats I'm sure you will enjoy.
