    Hint #1: you've checked in more beers than me on Untappd
    Hint #2: I have more trades than you, however
    Hint #3: shipping North
    Hint #4: I have really sucked with hints this round! My g-g-grandfather fought for the North in the Civil War. If you left his home town and drove exactly 1 hour due North, you would arrive in your town. He fought for the 102nd __.V.I.

    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
    Hint #3: my target's BA name has at least one e in it
    Hint #4: we are friends on untappd

    Content Hint #1: i was able to get the one want on my target's list that would be possibly available to me
    Content Hint #2: I have a snack crate membership, so some of my candy additions will be weird Mexican or South Korean candy that you normally can't find in America

    In all seriousness though, if you are in the path of the hurricane I hope you all stay safe

    Hint 1: Shipping to a state I've never been to
    Hint 2: Shipping North

    Hint 7: your state has at least one well known lake and at least one well known river...you live much closer to a well known river

    @hardysf sent me an amazing LIF box yesterday for guessing his daughter's birthday. The box is mostly verticals PLUS a few wants/new ticks! Thanks Stephen! This is so awesome!! I have not done too many verticals, so this is really exciting for me.

    Family shot:
    [​IMG]

    2015-2016 Verticals of:
    Dragon's Milk Coffee/Chocolate and Sunday Morning Stout
    I really do like drinking these on Sunday mornings from a mug.
    Guess now I'll have to get two side-by-side mugs going to compare the years!
    [​IMG]

    New tick: Expedition stout 2014 – 2016:
    Crap I only have 2 mugs! :grimacing:
    Guess these are not coffee stouts so I'll go glassware.
    [​IMG]

    Founders Backwoods Bastard Vertical 2013-2015
    I love this beer! Cannot wait to try the 2013!

    2-15-2016 Short's Brew Strawberry Shortcake
    Mmmm...I got one of these in the round 4 BIF and really liked it.

    I'm thinking more and more that I'll be getting a box from FL.

    All beer acquired.
    All candy acquired.
    I hope my target likes large format bottles (5/6 days are 750 ml) and doesn't have a nut allergy.

    Hint #1 Your wants and my stash will get along
    Hint #2 Honeybee
    Hint #3 Been to your state this year, didn't know you then
    Hint #4 Whelk
    Hint #5 Your state's most well known brewery isn't that far from you. Wonder if you take half-day trips for their releases.
    Hint #6 Thrasher
    Hint #7 You have more trades and more BA beers checked in on this site than me

    Content Hint #1 This beer riffs off a well known song from an oft-quoted movie from the 80s. This beer will be an extra.
    Content Hint #2 Mostly heavy, large format BA stouts, all your wants. This could be an interesting 6 days ABV & volume wise.

    I'm calling out @BartS as my sender!
    The honeybee, whelk, and thrasher are state animals for Georgia! If I'm correct, do the rules state I have to #solodome my wrapped beers, or can I call in reinforcement? :slight_smile:

    Damn you are good at connecting these lesser known state symbols. I am indeed your sender, quite impressed here with the guesswork. At 12-16% ABV bomber format in 5/6 days, I say call in reinforcements, but I'm also a #JVsolodome player - come at me bros :wink:

    Sounds like a killer box for @MTKATL to enjoy!

    Down to two states and three possible senders....

    For my target...your box is definitely going out Monday!

    Rules don't state #solodome, but bonus points if you do.

    Since I've been a bit behind on hints, here's a two-fer.

    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.
    Hint #3: While Ludacris has had many hoes, he apparently hasn't had any in your area code, but has had at least one in your state.
    Hint #4: How do you know when winter is coming in your state? The license plates start changing colors!

    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.
    Content Hint #3: This beer shares the name of an author's "masterwork", which was later adapted into film, multiple times.
    Content Hint #4: You won't need to reach for the stars, and beyond, for this IPA, it will be in your box.
