    Having trouble completing sentences there? Seems like a lot of us are having rough mornings. I only had three beers last night, not sure why my brain is so fried.

    Hmm, I think that eliminates me then. I have several beers tied as highest rated with one of them being a DIPA.

    In other sad news, Connecticut will not be represented in my box since I couldn't get the beer I wanted to get fresh. The 12 bottle shipper has been rounded out with one of my favorite beers from Hawaii instead. My target has many more ticks on BA than I do and every beer in the box has not been rated by them yet.



    FYI, there was a hint in there somewhere...

    Think I'm still in the running for you as my shipper. Not sure if I've ever had a beer from New Mexico yet. For the record, I like IPAs just fine.

    Whoever my target is, they better like IPAs. There will be a Scale Tipper, Project Dank and Elevated in the box. Whoops, I should have prefaced this comment with "Spoiler Alert."

    I already checked you off as a no, but you can accidentally put my address on the box. Accidents happen, you know.

    Doing "research" for my box... i'd heard good things about the 2/22 Project Dank. Tastes excellent. Unfortunately, I'll have to do more research when the new batch comes out because, though I believe it will taste awesome, I can't send anyone a month and a half old Dank.

    I've had 4 out of the top 5 on the list and they were all great beers!

    I haven't had either of the Kelsen beers. I need to get on that.

    Vinnata IMO may be the best non adjunct RIS I've ever had! And well they are releasing a Heaven Hills BA Vendel on the 18th at the brewery. I'll be there for sure and my LIF box to the winner of the best box will include both and I'll throw in a non BA Vendel for good measures.

    Well, honestly, my target's town doesn't really have much going on that leads to good hints. I've gotta be careful not to give the damn thing away too quickly.
