    Targets have been sent out as well as info!

    My target is someone I've never traded with before, but have seen around the trading forums quite a bit. They also have some similar wants of mine. That should narrow it down. :wink:

    I like cetaceans!

    My target has a relatively short wants list. Given the short amount of time i'm going to have to get to work or send him beer which he can trade to get some of those wants as i do not have any of them in my cellar.

    My target lives a long ways away from me. Their wants list hasn't been updated in quite awhile. I'm hoping it's still accurate because I do have a few things in the cellar on it.

    To chime in on what rjm217 said, if everyone could take a look at their wants lists and update if needed, it will help the sender deliver the best box they can.

    Sounds good. For whoever has me, don't be too concerned, I know I have a difficult wants list, but in my old beer-drinking age it is mostly just things I haven't had that I wanted to maybe try sometime. I'm open to most styles though, with a preference for fresh west-coast style IPA's and sours, and generally just like to try things I haven't had. As for my target, I believe we've BIF'ed together once or twice but never traded with each other. Looks like I can hit a couple wants and will be filling out with stellar locals to your favorite styles!

    To whomever has me it would be great if any wants were hit but they can be tough. I have a list of ticked beers the last 2 years from on untappd - I like to try new things or things that I really enjoyed in the past. (links in profile)

    My target lives east :stuck_out_tongue: and I should be able to hit a couple few wants

    For whomever has me... I do keep my wants fairly updated. I keep a few "oldies but goodies" in there, but it's mostly more limited stuff. But, please do not treat them as gospel! I'm generally just as excited to get some obscure tasty local bourbon barrel aged stout as I am to get some crazy Dark Lord variant.

    So wants are great, but great beer in general is more important.

    I got a good amount of beer already set aside for my target. I think I'll be able to hit almost all wants with the exception of maybe a couple bottles, though I think they will enjoy those as well!

    I believe my target and I have been in a bif together before. Should be able to hit a few wants and then some other good stuff, already planning!

    To whomever has me, I will attempt to update my wants, but am traveling to New England over the next day, so it might not be for a few days. I know many of them are tough, so don't worry hitting tons of them.

    Grabbed first beer for target today, a want. Expected a second to be there, but it was not. Will be on the hunt for it when I return.

    I've done some updating to my wants, so hopefully it makes it a bit easier. It looks like a few others have updated as well. My target has added a few more Wants. Good news for them, a couple of these items are in my cellar, though not necessarily in my Gots section.

    Just pulled a few things out of the cellar to take a photo. Would my target be so kind as to list their top 3 or 4 wants from this list.

    1414
    Darkness'09
    CBS
    Saint Lamvinus
    Le Bleu
    Baller Stout
    Hunahpu
    Southhampton RIS
    BCBS'09 Bomber
    BT'11

    [​IMG]

    yeah i forgot to pull out the BCBS'09 Bomber and BT'11 and was too lazy to retake the photo. Either way something from this list is ending up in my targets box.

    Yes, I would like all of those except Baller! The growler can replace that. :slight_smile:

    I've been known to play the occasional game of xiangqi, though those aren't my hands...
