    Package is out! Should arrive at the end of this week. My bottles were 5 x 12oz and 1 x 22oz and I hit two of my target's wants. Bonus hint: The highest abv beer was 18.00% which was one of the wants.

    Down to 5 guesses on who my sender is. This is hard......

    I still haven't been able to officially rule you out either... you need to give more clues too!

    How tricky are you trying to be with this hint? I'm trying to figure out if I can mark you off or not... The Panthers have not won the Super Bowl but have won a 'Championship' (namely, the NFC Championship).

    I agree more hints from mkhartnett. I am down to him and one other possible sender.

    I'm about 99% sure he means a real championship (ie, NFC Championship doesn't count).

    I suggest you look elsewhere. These are not the droids you are looking for.

    Thanks for the hint.
    Now I assume that it is good to be one of the original 13 colonies.
    Maybe Like is Like......a good cigar?

    I just spent way too much time going through hints -- I had a bunch of people still with 5 or 6 senders and/or targets. But I took a couple of semi-educated guesses on what some clues might mean, and now THINK I have pretty good guesses on 10 pairings (including mine) and all the others down to 2 options. But I definitely had a much harder time this time than last time. Where is @billhelm when you need him?

    I'm not saying anything other than what has already been hinted at.

    Well, one more thing, beer is on the way to my target.

    Hint #1 - this 6pk is headed north!
    Hint #2 - there will be 6 brews. there will be well over 72oz! (and crab chips - have to have crab chips in the summer)
    Hint #3 - My target is not @@kgncfl, but he has a 6 pack from me waiting on his porch!
    Hint #4 - I have never been in this state, but have visited a major university in a neighboring state's capital city
    Hint #5 - Target, I hope you're excited to try Double Duckpin
    Hint #6 - I am going to ship next Monday 7/14 - I need to get some brewery only growler fills, and my target does not have any shipping date restrictions ... if the baby comes before than - I will nix the growler and pummel porch with cellar goodies!
    Hint #7 - My 1 non local that I am including is on my targets 'want' list but is also on his 'had' list.

    You were one of the guys I had narrowed down to two targets -- I think this clue eliminates one of them, so that probably tells me who it is except that it would be WAY too much effort to make sure...

    Hint # something - The 22oz bottle has 1 state distro, and a new BA'd big brother that has been bringing in crazy hauls. (sorry, you can't have that one...)

    I definitely have to get to a couple of breweries in NJ -- I live in NY and work within 2 miles of the NY/NJ border. But it's still about 2.5 hours for me to get to the places I want to go (however, they are only about half an hour from some relatives :slight_smile:)

    Unfortunately, this time of year it takes the same amount of time for me to go all the way to Troegs as it would to go to Kane or Carton... Shore season, meh.

    Had my first Carton beer last week (Boat Beer), oddly enough in Portland. Had never heard of them. Was quite impressed. It was basically our 'sobering up' beer during a tasting of Sucre and variants.
