    These two boxes are enroute to a state I have been to once, but would like to go to again in the first quarter next year

    So after prepping all the bottles I'm super nervous about sending this box, if this gets lost shipping or anything there's no way I can replace half this stuff. Anyone splitting their box in two in case of disaster?

    Not sure if you've already sent or not, but on boxes like these I'll routinely bump up the declared value for insurance purposes. You do pay a little more for the extra insurance but it's worth it to me on a few occasions per year.

    I'm pretty sure this precludes me from being your target... But try-before-you-buy sounds like a great strategy, especially for an awesome beer.

    I'll be there, and I'm going solo, so I would love to hang with some of you fine people.

    To be fair, I hate the Pack, but I really, really enjoy watching Rodgers play. It's unfair how good he is.

    Hint #1: Your list of hads dwarfs mine.
    Aside #1: While your list is long, that doesn't mean that I won't be able to tickle your palette with interesting beers you've never tasted, and I like that.
    Hint #2: Shipping East.
    Aside #2: My rules will vary ever-so-slightly from the general rules, but I do WTFIW.
    Hint #3: This isn't your first BIF, but as far as I can tell you were not in the original 12 DoX BIF last year...
    Aside #3: Reinforce your porch now. I have already supplied my FedEx driver with extra strength anti-inflammatories. I do WTFIW.
    Hint #4: You appear to be a slacker.
    Aside #4: Pushing 400oz now, and I think one or two might actually be wants :grimacing:
    Hint #5: I have never shipped to you, received from you, or had any memorable interaction with you prior to this BIF. And I say that with Peace and Love. Peace and Love.
    Hint #5: Were you original SWTFYW? I need to go check... It appears that you were NOT an OG. But you were a part of the thread after the initial fire. Kudos to you there.
    Aside #5: Boxes should leave tomorrow. I roughly tallied 444 oz, which seems good, but I could have done so much more... I think we tick about 25 new beers for you in these boxes. I hope you don't mind "archived" wants, as two of your wants inside these boxes are from prior years.
    Hint #6: Your future new ticks are just under 1% of your total ticks on this site. That's a big hint right there.

    I'll do a tracking number hint when I have one. Cheers everyone!!

    You lost me at "turn left". I'm used to turn by the big tree or red barn. We don't use those fancy words like left and right here in KY

    Target, I'll be shipping Monday with a second box to follow soon the next week. Trying to get a couple bottles last minute, but that shouldn't be a problem to get there in time per UPS (FUK FedEx)

    Hint #1--Not shipping to @LehighAce06
    Hint #2--Not shipping North
    Hint #3--Not shipping to Georgia or North Carolina
    Hint #4--my target is not @Dave_Treat (he should know this, but I hear he's forgetful)
    Hint #5--Shipping SW
    Hint #6--Mr Griswold (figure this will give it away)



    Content Hint #1--As it stands now, I'll be hitting a lot of wants
    Content Hint #2--All this talk of PVW....you will receive a bottle that's spent time in one of dem barrels
    Content Hint #3--Had to re-work a couple beers in your box. Wanted to try and hit mainly new wants

    wont find any of those here.
    i think your math is wrong. i thought of 2-3 swtfyers that are slackers (excluding me), but 25/new ticks are all over 1%.

    This could theoretically be anyone from Chicago to NH, as far south as maybe NC, but it's most definitely me :grinning:
