    Last clue because my boxes should be delivered some time today. My state is where my target's state's space shuttle come when they retire...

    Looks like my target has a box at his front door. Everything's bigger in the state where it landed.

    Started thinking I was your target. Republican state bordering a big body of water. I need to get the hell out of work!

    Hit quite a few wants and I'm stoked about the sours. I figure the sours are the style you were talking about getting into recently. I've become a sour junky just this year. I didn't like them for the longest time but now I'm addicted. Almost all beers I haven't had before. Only two I've had are bcbs and double jack(I'll always want those). Never had any cascade and the Riserva is another big want. Thinking the two national brews were the gateway beers. Thanks for the killer box Ken!!! Oh and thanks for putting things together again.

    So now how do we continue after the seniors round? Over the hill or old farts still sippin?

    Huge thanks to SirWilliam for this one. I used to live in CA and have been missing a lot of the west coast beers in this haul, can't wait to crack a few of them open during the holiday weekend! I love me some Cali IPAs/sours.

    I really hope this box hasn't been sitting on a western NY porch since wednesday... not sure about up there but it got below freezing here in VA the past couple nights.
