    Haul hint...I've been having a lot of fun setting this all up and reading through all the hints that I kind of forgot that I need to be putting a box together. The good news is I'm traveling the next couple weeks so my options grow a ton.

    Hint 8: target's state was one of the 13 colonies
    hint 9: in terms of how long you've been on BA, it seems like you're the youngest for this BIF, but I may be wrong on that one.

    Content Hint - You'll probably be getting at least half the box filled with some higher ABV stouts/porters/barleywines. One of which may be from my cellar with a few good years of age on it. The rest should be some fresh hops

    Hint 1: I’m shipping west, which should help no one since I live on Long Island.
    Hint 2: target’s state has teams in all four major sports.
    Hint 3: target’s city is the same as the last name of a semi-prominent singer from the 80s.
    Hint 4: my target has been a member longer than me, has done more good things for the site than I have, yet his beer karma lags far behind mine, proving once again that karma is a bitch.

    To my target: I apologize I was not near a computer yesterday so I was unable to post any hints for you. I will post hints 4 and 5 today and maybe more later.

    Hint #1: Shipping North
    Hint #2: you have more trades listed on BA than me.
    Hint #3: Your state was not list as one of the top 10 most check-ins of 2017 on Untappd, however, you border states that are on that list.
    Hint #4: I have now posted more hints than you have for your target.
    Hint #5: I have visited your state multiple times for football (NFL) and baseball games (college) and I have shipped beer to your state in a previous BIF I participated in.

    One bottle of BA Darkness for you coming up, target!

    Hint #1! Your avatar is not a human!
    Hint #2! I have approximately fifteen times the completed trades you do in the last ~two months!
    Hint #3! We share a recent trading partner!
    Hint #4! Your state may be quite small, but it is more populous than my own state!
    Hint #5! Nine Inch Nails' drummer (circa 89-97) was born on the day that you joined Beer Advocate (though not in that year)!
    Hint #6! You are not the only participant from your state in this BIF!

    My original guess still qualifies. But I'm not counting it as one of the four pairings I'm sure I've figured out.

    Going through the thread, with the hints provided, I have it down to six of you. This is the world's most infuriating game of Guess Who.

    I'm confident I know who my sender is, but that's based off of only 3 hints...so I could be wrong. I'll just patiently wait for further hints.
