    Hint: My target lives in a county that shares a name with a beer style.
    I plan to ship by the weekend! One question for my target, Encendia or Nocturn? :rolling_eyes:

    A can from a brewery with rating stats that specific? That should seal it up for your target, no way that could be two different people!

    Nope -- sorry -- the stats are for the 116 bonus ounces in total. The whole shebang including the "lesser" brews average 90%/4.01/3.80. Between the calculations and my sender/target grid I have a very impressive spreadsheet going here...

    And he didn't mention that item, just something along the lines of "anything from that brewery" and it happened to be on the shelf Tuesday...

    Ohhhhh, well, not quite as reliable then, although "a can from a brewery the target expressed interest in" is still fairly specific

    OK... I'm starting over from scratch again... I feel like I've been able to eliminate every single person in the BIF now..I'll try again at lunch today

    IF I was your target I would say that would be tough but would have to say Nocturn :grinning:

    A question to my target.....would you prefer quantity of a single want or variety of beers not on your wants

    I figured it out at the Hall of Fame clue... as I was the only other logical possibility at that point.

    Ok... I went back through every clue and I've been able to eliminate every single participant in this BIF as my sender... so either someone gave me a bogus clue, I misinterpreted a clue, or I don't have a sender... unless @The_Craft_Deviant_Rob and I have miscalculated the flight time from Denver to Boston on google maps (I'm still getting 3 hrs and 50 minutes...)

    @heystevec and @_RL_ would both fit me except for one clue each... so I've eliminated both of them too....

    Totally lost here... am i without a sender???

    Never heard of 'Cook' as a beer style, but that's okay. I'll go with the Nocturn :slight_smile:

    I have narrowed it down to 2 or 3 after my initial prime suspect outed his target. :wink: but my list is on my home pc.

    @mkhartnett seems to be shipping to NJ, but can't distinguish if it is to me, yet.

    #1 Shipping West
    #2 Shipping to a state with all 4 major sports teams
    #3 Shipping to a state more than 1 time zone behind my home state
    #4 Multiple Ba's have posted from the state in which my target resides
    #5 The state I am shipping to borders the Pacific Ocean
    #6 The state I am shipping has an animal on its flag
    Redundant hint #7 My targets ba handle has the letters "n" & "o" in it :wink:
    Should be the hint of discovery #8 I was going to ship my box Wednesday however when I suspected it would deliver Saturday I was worried my target would not be there to receive it. So I figured I would hold off and ship it Monday 6/2 to ensure it doesn't sit in the Warehouse heat all weekend.

    Will contain many local gems and other Midwest wants that may stretch "local" as defined but we will categorize them as extras!

    Unless I misinterpreted heystevec's clue about not having any 'local' wants... I have duclaw in my wants... but maybe that's not techincally 'local'.... hmm
