    Crazy YouTubers! They translated it from the Queen's English into Czech, but didn't have any versions translated into American English :rolling_eyes::grin:.

    The key part seems to start around 1:45 into it for those having difficulty :sunglasses:.

    im so glad it all made it safely!! Was a bit worried when I had learnt my brother didn’t tape any of the bottle caps w electricians tape; but hoped for the best. Twas a small box but a good box (I think) all funk or easy going IPAs...simple stuff that deserves more credit. Enjoy it all!! The little glass is a bit of a stupid throw in...but superb for festivals/share kind of scenarios. I’ve had the other vintage of eternal return, but the 2015 champagne one is new to me. Hopefully it’s as good or better than its predecessor from last year.

    Also, IM me with how you feel about ciders in general.

    Cheers!

    I have sent beer to and/or received beer from my target. I thought I would be called out by now so I may just sit back see if my target pieces things together.

    Speaking of flavored, I picked up a bag of maple-bacon flavored chips at a stop-n-rob in Indiana a couple of weeks ago. Very odd taste.

    I completely agree with ALL the points you laid out Terry. As for me, I'm kinda flogging' myself right now. I LOVE so much the NBS BIF. I love everything about it. I love stalking a target. I love the bullshitting we partake in before we even have our targets. I love the humor and intelligence of this group. I love sending something that i think will surprise my target. And I love, love, love when I blow my target away with certain beers. I love the hints, giving and getting. And of course, in the end, I get beer. But mostly a like the banter and camaraderie here. And here is where I'm disappointed in myself...
    I have not participated to the level I like to. (Granted, some of you might be thankful that I'm not chiming in on every little post like I feel I have in the past:grimacing:). I have only left one decent hint as of yesterday.
    I beg the collective forgiveness of the group, starting right now. I'll move on to post at least one hint a day.

    I just had to go back a few pages to make sure, but it looks like it. But it's not like I did it with only a handful of clues :slight_smile:.

    Geographic Hint #1

    Years ago, on a trip to visit a buddy who had moved to a different part of the country, I drove VERY near where you now reside. On this trip, we drove in 4 states, 3 of which all started with the same letter.

    Geographic Hint #2

    That trip was great. My dad, my brother and me. We started with a Boy’s night turning our new locale into the Boys Town! And while we were mining the town for live music, my brother and I had to hit a brewery on the trek.

    Lo and behold, we did not end up dry. Hops were found and the gastropub fare was a plus.

    This all happened an hour from you (depending on traffic of course).
