    I think we should let him off with a warning constable.

    I was wondering when I posted that if anyone would make a joke along those lines.

    They will be consumed within the week.

    I love sending that one out, a lot of people still haven't heard of Steel Toe. They're probably my favorite local brewery.

    Totally unrelated but just found out about a new brewery that opened in my town it only has five beers right now and is in a building the size of a two car garage maybe or maybe slightly bigger but super excited to check it out

    I shouldn't tip my hand too much, but my target is getting one of those as well. It's such a good beer. Surly gets a ton of talk, deservedly, but Size 7 is great.

    I'm 99.9% sure I know who my sender is now. Took me long enough to figure it out. Now the hardest part, waiting.

    I am just about to print my label. North of 250 ozs 3 or 4 wants(as long as Sam Summer is a want). Only 2 beers not from MA in the box but I thought I saw them on his want list.

    I only wish they'd do 12 oz bottles or cans. I don't buy the bombers as often as I'd buy the smaller formats.

    250 oz packed. Outside of one beer all from Minnesota. Outside of one other beer, all brewed within about 25 miles from my house.

    Just that very few were locals, so the only ones I got were out-of-state, the rest of the box is local but not wants (I tried to stick to style wants, at least to some extent)

    To my target: Three boxes weighing 42lbs total went out this morning. Congratulations on your impending crushed porch.

    I forgot to include the name of the beer that is in the growler. I'll message you when the package arrives to preserve some of the surprise.

    Hint 1: Sending that way. (points eastish)
    Hint 2: I've only ever been to the airport in your state.
    Hint 3: Your states distribution list is longer than my states
    Hint 4: You have atleast one want from my state
    Hint 5: The total distance I've run this year is just short of the distance google says it'd take to drive there. (1000+ miles)
    Hint 6: One of my state's official food is related to one of your state's official food.
    Hint 7: I did it, I packed up two boxes last night. After careful review, I packed 250 ozs, didn't want to do too much, but remembered I did have a want and specific sytles of yours sitting in my wine cooler. So a couple good, but not great locals had to stay. I'll be checking everyday for it to crush your respected porch.

    I'm working on getting my box out today, just need to get the final item bubble wrapped and the box taped up. Final amount: 331.4oz. Once I have a chance to go through it I'll add the rAvg of the box too.

    Ok, so I went through the listings and 3.88 rAvg for the box, ranging from a 3.4 to a 4.41 (highest local is a 4.19).

    Despite that I feel like I went for "quantity over quality", there's 144 oz that's 4.0+ (including extras) and if I stopped at 144 oz of local, plus the 3 non-local wants, the box would be a 4.04 average with nothing below a 3.79, so I think I didn't do too badly.
