    Content Hint:

    I have 2 of 3 boxes taped up and sealed.
    Box #1 is a beast! It contains 2 wants but so much more...
    Box #2 is 100% stouts, 112.2 ounces, and contains 3 wants. I believe they are all new ticks. Thanks to @vitaminvert and @StrongRepublican ; I now only have bonus beers to hunt down.

    I could ship now but I'm going to wait a bit longer...

    Well it looks like we will be having our first beer **** of the BIF! My repeat (and awesome) trade partner @campa86 was my sender! Either that or he decided to ninja me with two huge boxes. Haha. Very excited because this BA is generous and knows what I like. Pictures and details to follow tonight or tomorrow!

    Hints are gonna get way easier with the shipping week coming

    Hint #5

    A popular music group sang a song about my target's state. One of the members supposedly died from choking on a ham sandwich.

    Going to assume that @jbdpsu82 drank all the stouts at once and Is now in a medical grade coma. Lol

    A number of factors (including the one box being too big for my trunk) required me to leave the boxes, unopened, at work. So unfortunately what @campa86 sent is still a mystery to me! So this has been a long, anticipation-filled weekend. On the bright side I was able to make a day trip to a nice bottle shop to get some goodies for my target. Beer **** on Monday, I promise.

    Hint#1: shipping west.
    Hint#2: target's state touches a good-sized/large body of water.
    Hint #3: one of the greatest nba basketball players of our generation (let's say since the 80s onward) --arguably in the top 3-- played/plays on a team in my target's state.
    Hint #4: regarding my target's zipcode, there's no helping how odd it is if said outloud -- not even if you add up the digits.
    Hint #5: i have IP traded in your state.

    Hey guys. I have to be honest with everyone. First, I am only shipping one box- at least initially- not 3. Second, I am not shipping next week as I stated before. I shipped today. Please excuse my enthusiasm and uh... impatience? Anyway, when the hops are fresh, you move!

    So since my box is now in possession of FedEx, I think my hints ought to get more specific, don't you think?
    Hint #6: Shipping to the Eastern Time Zone. Now with this hint I think there's only 2-3 people left in contention.
    I'm a noobie, I hope this strike hits the target!
    [​IMG]
    I had some fun with the box. I'll tell you what, this is no joke- I'm a pretty strong guy, and moving this box was not a piece of cake. Also the grumpy FedEx lady was working there and she asked me what was inside the box. Luckily my reply had been rehearsed ahead of time.

    [​IMG]
    If I revealed the tracking number that would take away all the fun, right?

    I updated my wants as well, although I have no clue who my sender is, I'm essentially taking shots in the dark.

    You have a great looking kid. Such a happy smile, made me smile. Whoever your target is I am sure he/she is going to be very happy. 60lbs is nothing to laugh at.

    Cheers

    Here are the pictures I promised! I didn't want to keep you guys waiting, so I took the pictures at work. Once again @campa86 did not disappoint.

    First the small guys:
    [​IMG]
    Russian River Damnation
    Highland Park - Griffith J Griffith
    Smog City - The Nothing
    Smog City - Infinite Wishes
    Lost Abbey - Track #10
    Siren/Cigar City - Caribbean Chocolate Cake

    Now the big guys:
    [​IMG]
    Avery - Vanilla Bean Stout
    Modern Times - Monsters' Park
    Bruery - Mocha Wednesday
    Bruery - So Happens It's Tuesday
    AleSmith - Speedway Stout
    Avery - Maharaja

    [​IMG]
    Stone - Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout
    Modern Times - Devils' Teeth
    Clown Shoes - Tequila Sombrero
    Beachwood - System of a Stout
    Avery - Salvation
    Mammoth - Lair of the Bear

    A ton of great beers and a number of wants/should wants in there! And a good number of these are big beers, my favorite kind! Pretty excited to start cracking these open! I feel bad that the rest of you have to keep waiting for your goodies to arrive. This is my first time being the first target hit, especially so early. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself now that the mystery has been solved!

    Thanks, yet again, @campa86!

    @campa86 nice box. Definately representing CA strong here.

    Unrelated content hint 2 : my target can be expecting a couple simular beers.

    Well darn. I was holding out hopes that I would be getting a beaver box, but it seems like the clues are pointing to @beatjunkee as the bevoduz target. Unless "Mangbus" is an adult website, but he's not "southish" he's more straight south.
