    My bottle share group had this a couple months ago and are STILL talking about it. And that was next to Heady Topper. Everyone thought Heady Topper was an also-ran next to Sip of Sunshine.

    BIF hint- "don't get me wrong, I love what I do. It's just another song about missing you"

    To my BIF target: You should know who you are by now, I think you do but it hasn't been confirmed. I planned on sending your box today but teething 1 year old + me being sick + my wife working all weekend = not enough time to pack up beer. Per the UPS ground in transit time map your box will take 3 days to get there, hopefully I can get it out soon so it still arrives this week.

    Target: Box dropped off this morning, should make it to you on Thursday (I suppose that's a hint as well)
    Sender: Just a friendly reminder that I'll be away the week of the 23rd, so please don't ship that week.

    I just want to know how to pronounce it -- not sure if it's "soo-cah-bah" or "suck-a-buh" or something in between

    I've been calling it Sue-Ka-Ba, sounds right in my head. I've heard others call it Suck-a-buh but then it sounds like it sucks.

    I've heard that both are just fine per the brewery as there is no "right" way to pronounce it, personally I go with soo-cah-bah. Knowing that Adam and David still use Abacus, it does not surprise me that they've not bothered deciding on one specific pronounciation.

    Just go with the Prince route and call it "The Beer Formerly Known as Abacus"

    Doing my special occasion on April 11th, hopefully snow will be gone and people can park at my house. Doing the whole vertical on that day.

    I came to this same conclusion the other day.

    You should make it the 18th instead then swing by UMASS Boston and pick me up. :wink:

    Final Hint: I visited your city last month and it pains me to say I missed a locals gathering.

    Box should arrive Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Cheers.

    Sounds like a good time. How about some hints on your target while you're chatting it up :wink:

    Also calling out @PG2G @treznor @UTvols05 and @valrxman as I think I've narrowed it one of you 5...

    No wonder there were so few hints from you lol. I think you were on the sheet initially, but now I do recall you saying you weren't in this round. My bad.

    To my target:
    That would work -- I still think of @JasonR1975 as "The BA Formerly Known as I_BYE_MI_BEER"

    Yeah I did the same thing; I'm also still not 100% sure whether or not @kgncfl is in this round
