    I wasn't studying clues too much. @Elneenee 's last clue of mileage threw me off. Thought her box would go a bit north or south of me, but nope, she decided to bust up the front stairs of my new house.

    Bottom box was the bomb

    Great handwritten note upon opening and seeing the 12 shipper

    Great swag! Jackie O's 10 anny glass, coaster and coozie. Fat heads sticker and extra candy!

    Some great extras here!

    Fat Heads Hop Stalker - new tick and love what I have had from them so far
    Wolf Ridge Pi - another new tick and sounds delicious. Especially love the name as my degree is in math
    Columbus Creeper and Bodhi - both new ticks and Bodhi has been a major want for sometime. Cannot wait to crack it open!

    Candy and 6 day beers

    I'm dying with anticipation to begin digging into all of this! Wednesday can't get here soon enough! Yes, I said Wednesday. I'm leaving 11/1 on a business trip and confirmed with Renee it's ok to start a day early. I'll post VBS on the correct day though.

    Entire box

    Great packaging! I'll definitely watch some of those horror movies with those beers. Been a while since I saw the first Saw and loved it. Glad you joined the group and your 1st box did not disappoint! Thank you!

    I had you pegged on Hint #2, didn't want to call you out so soon. Whenever I say dumbass, its always in the style of Red.

    Just a friendly reminder for everyone to save cans/bottles for a kill shot at the end of the 6 days.

    Dropped off my BIF box this morning. I know it's cutting it close but I was waiting for a beer that was released yesterday.

    Came home yesterday and found this on my porch! I thought it was my BIF box, but when I opened it I found it was..........

    I've been figured out. Your beers should be there on Monday or Tuesday. When you get them, you can unwrap and drink on whichever days you please. My son got ahold of one of your candies when I was packaging and I didn't think you'd want a half chewed candy bar, so I'm missing a butterfinger :-(

    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!
    Hint #5: My target is not onto me yet, and they should be! I always thought your Untappd name was strange, and after a little stalking, it all makes sense.
    Hint #6: It's @maljay26

    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.
    Content Hint #5: If we are friends on Untappd, I stopped at a local brewery last night and enjoyed a small flight. One beer that I had will be in your box.
    Content Hint #6: This beer was renamed from the previous year's bottling, and I dig it. No need to get one of those new taxi's to grab one, it is on its way to your doorstep.

    Candy Preview: Instead of throwing a bag of this and a bag of that in, I decided to focus on one hell of a treat per beer. I hope it all works out since I wasn't able to try the pairing myself, but the chocolatier thought I did a good of a job picking them out.

    You're most likely correct. I didn't even try to hide the wax.:sunglasses:
