Hint #1: I am shipping west.
Hint #2: My target has less characters in their BA name than me.
Hint #3: My target has more completed trades than me.
Hint #4: I am also not shipping to LehighAce06
NEW Hint #5: I have never sent anything to my target.

 

Well at least @Dave_Treat and I got eliminated by this hint

 

Boooooo! Not sure why when consulting my spreadsheet but I had already eliminated you.

 

Sorry brother. Doesn't mean something cant be worked out, or boxes exchanged at a later date

 

Ok, who is ready for a LIF within a BIF?

Champion, the local brewery right down the street from me, has been kicking it out with some good bottle releases lately and really improving there beers as a whole. This Friday they are putting out a Belgian Tripel (not the most exciting but the past few have been barrel aged or good DIPA's.) So I am going to send out a box of a couple of their brews to someone in this group.

So everyone who wants a shot at it post a response before this Saturday at noon so I can get a box out by Monday. The winner will be expected to post some pictures in the thread for everyone's viewing pleasure and to rate the beers on this site (or even better review, and I honestly don't care if you hate them I just want to get some more numbers out for them.)

Since I have gone with literature for my clues, I will stick with it for this. Post your guess at my favorite author, and just incase no one gets it, post a number from 1-400 and whatever bottle number I get Friday will be the decider.

Hint: Writes a book that is often read in high school, or possibly college, literature classes that was written in English within the last 100 years.

Cheers! And good luck!

 

Thanks for the chance!

Guess: JD Salinger
Number: 273

Cheers!

 

John Steinbeck
24

Thanks for the chance. Very generous!

 

Well the obvious guesses went quick, I'll go with George Orwell and bootle #34. Thanks for the chance!

 

Ray Bradbury 186

 

F Scott Fitzgerald, 308.

And thanks for the chance!

 

Faulkner
And 42 of course!

Thanks for the chance!

 

Arthur Miller

212

Thanks for the chance.

 

Awesome LIF.

I will go with Ray Bradbury.

and bottle #51 in honor of Fahrenheit 451.

 

Dammit Mipper - that was my guess too.

Faulker
# 68

If you don't like two of the same guesses, I'll go with Hemmingway.

 

I'll allow double guesses since there is a tie breaker in place.

 

Haha, then it looks like I might have Price is Right'd him, taking #48 vs. his #42.

 

George wells 234
