    Hint 1: Shipping to a state I've never been to
    Hint 2: Shipping North
    Hint 3: Willy Wonka
    Hint 4: Ryan, KC, Joey, David , Adam, etc.

    The above hints will make perfect sense when you receive your box

    Hint 5: your box will travel via I-95, I-75 or both, while in Florida

    Sorry for the lack of hints. I was trying to think of something more creative...but I think you guys are creative enough for us all. Some of these hints are pretty fun! Here are my less exciting hints - I'll make up for it with the box full of exciting beer!

    Hint #1 - One of my targets hard to get local wants is available on tap near my current location!
    Hint #2 - I have never sent beer to my target before.
    Hint #3 - My target's name on BA is at least somewhat based on their name in real life.

    Also, I finally opened the Anna I received from @jschott75 in round 4. This was my first HF beer and it was amazing, thank you!

    I had to wait for the right moment to open it, and it came this week when I finished up a big project at work. Cheers everyone!

    Also, don't think 'hey what's with those glasses?!' I'm still using that beautiful Newbies glassware:

    Still working on that round four box! This was the last New Glarus. It looks like the Cran-Bic gets the highest ratings (and my husband liked it best too) but I loved this one and especially the Enigma. So oakey and good! :slight_smile:

    Hint #1: My box will travel at least slightly west (but since I'm in NY, I think that only knocks out one or two people)
    Hint #2: Unfortunately there's only one thing on my target's wants list that I have any chance of sending. Hopefully my shots in the dark work out

    I got a handshake from @Elkevjoe at Jackie O's today, and I can confirm that he does exist and occasionally terrorizes the village of Athens, Ohio.

    Nice running into you and your wife and dog today, Kevin!

    Hint #4 - 2 more miles and it's exit 51 heading east.
    Hint #5 - Hey Tonight / CCR

    Finally decided to go through and start knocking people of my potential senders. So here's another hint:

    Hint #1: My target needs to add some more wants that are obtainable by me.
    Hint #2: Shipping to a state that is somewhere below mine.

    Content Hint #1: Its very convenient that I picked up a couple bottles of a certain beer a couple weeks ago and I can now use one for this round.
    Content Hint #2: I won't be able to ship until next week Monday at the earliest.
