    DAT Kona! Breaking my no more hints rule: @Justinsosmart is not my target, but considering 3 of those are for me, it would be disingenuous to say I won't be shipping to him :stuck_out_tongue:

    no idea if you are my sender but I liked it because: I mostly trade to get stuff thats hard for me to get and new for me to try; not for stuff that's highly rated/highly coveted and walz-y...
    so I'd rather have more obscure beers than less but known awesome beers

    My two boxes to @IPAFan521 in the last round were a combined 91 pounds. So it can be done. I think I'm going to have to do three boxes this time.

    Wow.. I've got 20 bottles set aside already, but 91 pounds!?!?
    I guess I've got more shopping to do to keep up with y'all.

    Also: my target could help a brother out with updating wants and so forth .Or he'll just get stuff i think is great....


    EDIt:
    Will update my wants and profile page today too
    I realized it's heavy on big boys. But there's plenty of other stouts I'd want too.
    Will add tonight if anybody is listening out there...

    So one hundred pounds of beer with each bomber weighing about 3 pounds = 33 bombers... already over that... I'm hoping to skim it down to about 24 bottles to keep this sane.

    I've slacked off on my hints spreadsheet but I still have no idea who my sender is.

    Hint 4:

    My target's state is not in the top 20 states ranked by land area, but it does rank much higher in the list of states by water area (by every standard measure of this I've seen).

    So.....
    Im looking around at how to make my (now plural) boxes more extraspechialerestporchcrushinglyawesomer....
    And a thing occured to me:
    Sour stouts exist!

    I happen to have quite a few of these cause I love them.
    If my target likes this post i'll include a 750ml sour stout that is currently distributed (but is still delicious) and also its recently bottled non-distributed (for fancy prepaid society folks (suckers like me) only) fruited variant also 750ml.

    I don't know if your math is accurate or not, but here's what a hundred pounds of beer, swag, and coconuts looks like:
    By my count, that's 14 bombers, 9 12oz bottles, 45 cans, and a quart crowler, with 3 shirts, 2 glasses, and half a dozen coconuts; plus what must have been 10 pounds of bubble wrap alone.
