    I got that a while back. I logged out, waited a few minutes logged back in and it worked. I also re-uploaded the image on photobucket during that time.

    Unless I screwed up on my hint tracking I'm down to 5 possible senders. I think 3 of those are unlikely but I haven't been able to fully eliminate them yet.

    Stealth hint: My target did not like my last content hint post.

    I'll be including for my target a session pale ale that I just recently brewed, and probably before the end of the 12 days an ipa I'm working on...

    Hint: My target's state has at least one team in each of the major sports (NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL)

    I will be shipping at least half of the 12 days on Monday. If I acquire a certain beer sooner than expected then the whole 12 days may get sent out.

    I have no clue to my sender is. I like Christmas surprises.

    I reached out to @Yourahoser for an assist on my 12 days box and he even threw in some extras! No peeking at the rest of it...wouldn't want to ruin any surprises for my target! :grinning:

    ^^^^^
    Well there's the pic I've been trying to post of the box sent from @radio2525

    It's obviously a problem with my account, I even tried reposting pics that were already posted in this thread.
    Thanks @Bigklip74

    if we have never sent beer to/from each other but have had conversations, you moved over the summer, your hometown is spelled the same frontwards and backwards, and your name is keith, you have two boxes on your front porch.

    the boxes are limited in swag, so another box will come some time in the future.

    Target: Like this post if you will have others helping you with your beers on New Year's Eve. I want to make sure I send an appropriate amount for that day.

    Content Question for my target:

    I had ear-marked my 12 bottles, but actually was able to land a few bottles of the latest Bishop's Barrel. Like this post if you want one. See below, but it's an Old Ale aged in Sauv Blance barrels with tart cherries and brett. I haven't cracked my first bottle yet, but people have been raving about this one.

    Bishop's Barrel No. 12
    Style: Christmas Ale aged in Sauvignon Blanc Barrels
    with Cherries and Brettanomyces
    Date Brewed: January 17, 2014
    Date Racked: February 6, 2014
    Date Bottled: November 23, 2015
    Beer style in bbl: Christmas Ale
    Type of Barrel: Sauvignon Blanc
    Original Gravity: 1.066
    Final Gravity: 1.005
    Alcohol: 7.0% ABV prior to barreling
    8.9% ABV after barreling
    Bitterness: 18 IBU

    Description:

    The base beer for Bishop’s Barrel No. 12 is Christmas Ale, our rich, hearty ale brewed for the holiday season. We aged it in Sauvignon Blanc barrels with tart cherries and three strains of brettanomyces. BB12 was on wood longer than any of our previous Bishop’s Barrel releases - 21 months.
